Head on over to the website for some great clearance deals.
Echium fatsuosum, pride of Madeira, drought tolerant with flowers bees love.
Hydrangea Ayesha, lovely little cup-like flowers.
Acuba japonica. Interesting foliage. Evergreen shrub
Viburnum eve price. Great filler or hedging shrub.
Nandina gulf stream. Interesting bamboo type plant for some autumn colour.
All our plants are holistically grown. We don't use pesticides or insecticides. The only addition is nitrogen fertiliser to the potting soil which is a mix of coco coir, compost from a local supplier, perlite, sand and blood and bone.

Berry season is coming!! Thornless boysenberries are normally a cross between raspberries, blackberries and dewberries. The fruit they produce is sweet, juicy, large and dark purple/black when ripe. The canes have no thorns, making them easy to pick and prune. As a bramble they need a frame or support to grow on and support the fruit. They like full sun, well drained fertile soil and adequate moisture. Ripen in early summer. They fruit on second year canes, cut back dead or damaged canes to encourage more to grow. Head on over to the website, available now.

Beautiful yarrow. A selection of colours available now on the website! Others coming online later. Butterscotch, Fanal, and salmon beauty! Makes an awesome addition to a bouquet or cut flower arrangement and also very good at attracting pollinators to the garden.

New plants!! Spring is upon us and there are new babies that need new homes. Teasel fuller Comb. Dipsacus fullonum. Native to Eurasia and North Africa, this herbaceous biennial plant grows to 1-2.5 metres tall and has cylindrical flowers with tiny lavender flowers that bees and polliantors love. Awesome in a flower arrangement, but beware! They're ever so spiky!
