Altamont Plants

Plant sales The area consists of the Corona North Commemorative Border and Altamont Plant Sales and Nursery. Snowdrop Week is hosted at Altamont every February.

An unmissable highlight of a visit to Altamont Gardens is the Walled Garden situated within the grounds of the estate and run privately by gardener and nursery man, Robert Miller. The Corona North Commemorative Border took over a year to design, build and plant, and was opened in 2000 to honour Altamont’s late owner, Corona North. Many of the plants in the border were donated by friends of Corona

and fellow great Irish gardeners. These donated plants and thousands of others grown at Robert Miller and then-business partner Assumpta Broomfield’s nursery make up one of the largest borders of its kind in the country, and tell a story of Irish horticulture woven into a seamless living tapestry. A visit is a must for any seasoned or novice gardener looking for inspiration or simple enjoyment. Altamont Plant Sales has not only grown in size in the last few years, but more so in reputation as a place to acquire seriously good garden plants. Altamont Plant Sales has always been renowned for its extensive and exclusive range of herbaceous perennials – many of which can only be found at Altamont. But Altamont Plant Sales can also now boast of having one of the largest collections of old shrub roses available for sale to the gardening public year round. If trees and shrubs are more your thing, don’t despair. Rare oaks, maples, cherry blossoms, dogwoods, magnolias, beech and smaller flowering trees and shrubs suitable for every sized garden are also available throughout the year. This is an opportunity to marvel at the vast varieties of snowdrops in bloom throughout the garden, and also to acquire several types to start or add to your own collection, along with a selection of hellebores second to none. Hundreds of complementary flowering plants are also available throughout the spring. Altamont Plant Sales is exactly as the name suggests: plants for sale – high-quality plants grown and cared for with expertise and knowledge. Robert Miller of Altamont Plant Sales is also available for consultancy work for new and mature gardens.

Liquid feeding my snowdrop collection with SP PLANT INVIGORATOR! I'm trying this product this year on the Snowdrops. It's important as the collection grows to keep a eye out for pests and diseases! To physically remove any stock that looks infected and prevent any further damage! I'm also dividing and adding lots of leaf mould seaweed meal! plant invigorator

Hellebores and their spring companions shining brightly in the sunshine! Best to prepare now for the cold snap next week, by having old sheets or horticulture fleece ready to throw over your favourite budding plants i.e. camellias, edgeworthias, smaller magnolias, tree ferns and any other plants in your garden that you think could benefit from a little protection.

Hellebores are beginning to reach their peak and are looking fabulous here at ! Now is a good time to give them their first feed of the season. I add a fistful of chicken manure around the base of each Hellebore as its high in nitrogen and will encourage strong leaf growth for the spring/summer time. Prices range from €19.50 to €59.50 for the really specials. Deals on multiple buys!
