There are so many good shrubs that merit a mention, where should we begin?
Well how about some scented favourites...

We usually have over 15 varieties of Viburnum, including V. Carlesii, V.Judii, V.Burkwoodii, V. Pragense, and the non-scented, but very beautiful V.Mariesii.

When it comes to scent, it’s hard to top the beautiful dwarf evergreen Daphne retusa (syn. tangutica) which produces its white flowers from late spring into summer.

You’ll probably also find 5 varieties of dwarf lilacs and other old favourites such as Hydrangea arborescens ‘Annabelle’, Hydrangea villosa and the brick-red lace-cap Hydrangea ‘Geoffrey Chadbund’ – the only good red lace-cap in cultivation. Other favourites that often prove difficult to find, such as Garrya ellipta ‘James Roof’, are plants that we strive to keep in stock as much as possible. While if its rarities you’re looking for, then how about these for a start: Melaleuca squamea the ‘Honey Myrtle’ from Down Under, Drymis colorata ‘Mt. Congreve’ and the lovely Drymis aromatica, Osmanthus ‘Gulftide’, Eucalyptus nicholii, Eucalyptus debeuzevillei, Mitraria coccinea, Nellia thibetica and Tree Peonies Paeonia suffruticosa in 5 varieties.
