All our plants are grown in Yorkshire. We never use pesticides and use a certified organic seaweed feed to our parent plants where appropriate. We know this is important to our valued clients and always seek to work with nature, rather than against it.
Pulmonaria 'Blue Ensign'
Our plants are kept in nursery beds out of season, meaning that they generally don't spend longer than 3 months in a pot. Our plants are mainly available in either a 9cm or 2litre pot - please see photos for reference.
Out of season, we can provide our plants 'bare rooted'. This simply means they are provided without compost or a pot, in paper. This saves on plastic and means we can offer you plants at a reduced cost. Not all plants are suitable for bare rooting, and not all soils are ideal for bare roots to be planted! If you are keen to give bare root plants a try (and you should), but don't feel you have the confidence to try them, you can contact us our advice.
We are ALWAYS happy to talk about plants, so please do ask questions - we want your garden to thrive!
