- This is a guide only, and we may have everything available throughout the whole year.
Many will tolerate poor soil and evergreen spreading varieties are great for weed suppressing ground cover.
Alpines tend to flower in early spring, bringing colour to the garden before the summer bedding and herbaceous perennials come into flower.
Heathers provide interest in the garden all year round with both flower and foliage colour, and of course the bees just love them!.
When planting a heather garden be sure to choose varieties to give colour through the seasons, not just those looking bonny today. Our heathers are grown by Irene of Perthshire Heathers
at Starr Farm in Fife.
Shrubs, Roses & Climbers
Again, these availability lists are a guide and we may always have everything in stock.
We aim to have a comprehensive stock of shrubs, to suit all growing conditions, not just the 'seasonal highlights'. We have 2 & 3 litre shrubs as well as larger 'specimen' shrubs for those who want an 'instant garden'. If we don't have what you are looking for please ask, we get regular deliveries from our Scottish growers McLarens and Corachie throughout the growing season.
Rhododendrons provide evergreen foliage and glorious colour in late spring. Dwarf, mid-sizedand large growing varieties available - please ask for advice.

Trees & Hedging
We have a selection of bare-root hedging currently available this is an economical way to plant a hedge or woodland area. We also stock some larger specimen laurels or conifers for those looking for an 'instant' evergreen hegde.
We have a selection of conifers arranged on the nursery benches to help you chose the right variety for your situation. 10 year height less than 4ft, more than 4ft or suitable for ground cover. Conifers are excellent for colour in the garden through the winter, several varieties changing colour when the cold weather comes adopting autumnal shades or intensifying the golden tints. Dwarf varieties re excellent for winter planters - taller growing varieties can also be used for this - but don't expect them to stay small for ever!
Fruit, Vegetables & Herbs
We also stock all sorts of fruit bushes from gooseberries, too blackcurrants, as well as strawberry plants and more.
We have a wide selection of herbs, and pre planted containers for your own miniature 'kitchen garden'.
Grasses & Ferns
Flowers & Houseplants
In the summer and Autumn, we have cut flowers avilable. Our very first bunches of flowers were a mix of Astrantia, white Achillea and Sweet William – borne out of a wish to liven up a rather monochromatic crop of Sweet William. Since then we have tried all sorts of annuals, biennials, perennials and bulbs so our ‘posies’ are ever changing from year to year and throughout the seasons. ‘Garden Pinks’ with their wonderful fragrance form the basis of many of our bunches along with Asters, Sunflowers in the summer moving onto the autumnal scent of Chrysanthemums. For the ‘fillers’ we use all sorts! Dill, Ammi, Daucus, Statice, Bupleurum, Sweet William, Michaelmas Daisies, Solidago, Feverfew, Veronica, Campanula… the list goes on and on!
We can provide flower arrangements for functions, weddings, churches etc.
Seeds & Bulbs
Our seed collection is comprehensive including vegetables and plants - perfect if you wish to grow your own.
