Plants
 
The nursery stocks many of the plants you need to add colour and structure to your garden throughout the year. This includes seasonal bedding plants for displays and containers, unusual herbaceous varieties, pre-packed and loose bulbs, a varied selection of roses (many of them highly scented 'old fashioned' varieties), shrubs and both ornamental and fruit trees suitable for the smaller garden. We also sell a wide range of unusual hardy and half-hardy annuals from our Home Grown range, which are available on a seasonal basis.

JANUARY IN THE GARDEN

This year is already shaping up to be much milder through January and February; but with some hard morning frosts, resist the temptation to try out your new secateurs. New cuts on woody shrubs at this time of year can let in the cold and cause dieback. It is far better to just take a long look at any overgrown shrubs and plan where you might cut back once the weather truly becomes mild.
 
Plants are coming on earlier this year than last. We already have Crocus and Tulips in stock, showing fresh green shoots and some of the Crocus are already in flower. Early flowering shrubs such as Daphne odora and Viburnum bodnatense are already in bud, the buds on ornamental cherry trees are just beginning to swell, and the autumn flowering cherry, Prunus subhirtella ‘Autumnalis Rosea’, are already gracing us with some pretty blossoms.  

We have some very special trailing Viola, these varieties feature a semi-trailing habit making them more versatile and adaptable. The habit of Endurio is more mounding than Alpine, bringing it up off the ground 4-6 inches while maintaining extreme weather tolerance. Endurio violas also feature more lateral branching than other upright violas for faster filling in your pots, a tidier appearance when planted in baskets or bowls, and more colourful coverage of flowers over the top of the plant. 
 
Camellias are a stalwart of the spring garden, and we have some lovely medium sized specimen plants smothered in white, pink and red buds just waiting to break that are ideal for creating a bit of instant impact.  Click here  for information on caring for Camellias.
