Due to the persistent cold weather and lack of sun our plants are still tucked up under numerous layers of fleece, which means that I am a bit behind with mail orders. If your order is urgent please let me know.
Half Hardy and Summer Patio
Bring a taste of the exotic to your garden with half-hardy plants. If you can provide some winter protection it is amazing how many more interesting and plants you can grow, to the envy of your friends and family. You can grow these plants in pots and enjoy them in the garden between June and September when there is no risk of frost (UK). All they need is a greenhouse, porch or conservatory over winter kept above freezing.
Many plants will relish a spell outdoors, the local birds can get at any pests, and the sun and wind helps to strengthen the plants. September is a good time to start thinking about bringing plants undercover, as the nights will be rapidly getting longer and colder, and excess moisture can build up. Some plants will be happy tucked up against the house wall, with a bit of fleece to hand for very cold nights.
We only show you the plants we hope to have for sale in 2024, if not available now they will progressively become so through the spring.
