Perennials! In Your Garden...
More than any other plant group, perennials offer a rich choice of colour, form, texture and fragrance.
There are perennials available for every garden, and for every garden style.


Over the past few years the interest in perennials has grown at a phenomenal rate and the range of new and interesting plants has grown accordingly.
With careful selection, perennials can be used to create a tapestry of colour in the garden that accentuates the changing seasons.

Some of the our most requested and sought after plants are perennials:

Digitalis ‘Sutton's Apricot’ which is, as the name suggests, a lovely apricot coloured foxglove, has been very popular for the last couple of years.

Verbascums are ‘in’ at the moment. Some of the most popular varieties include V. ‘Jackie’ and V. ‘Helen Johnson’.

Alstroemerias too are in demand because of their continuous flowering from May 'til November. Popular varieties lately are A. ‘Apollo’, A. ’Evening Song’, A. ‘Selina’ and the much sought after A. ‘Orange Glory’.

Recent introductions of real merit include the poppy Papaver ‘Patty’s Plum’, which was a chance discovery on a compost heap! The flower colour is a mixture of pale grey and deep plum. Oenothera ‘Siskiyou’ from the USA is an enormously popular plant at present with pink flowers from spring through to autumn. Lovers of Dicentra or ‘Bleeding Heart’ will be more than excited with the prospect on getting their hands on the D. ‘Goldheart’ ,a new variety, which carries its spring blooms among golden yellow leaves.

To give you a flavour of the huge range of perennials on offer; we stock over 15 varieties of hardy geraniums, 8 varieties of helleborus including H. x sternii, more than 12 varieties of campanula, 8 varieties of poppies and an abundance of hostas, delphiniums, day lilies, anemones, asters and paeonies.
