Begonia corms are dispatched from mid February until late March. These are started into growth (not dormant). Corms should therefore be potted as soon as you receive them according to the cultural information you will receive with your corms.

Keep at a temperature of around 16°C. Keep compost moist, pot on as necessary, preferably with a soil based compost, e.g. John Innes No. 2. Removal of the first flower buds when the plant is small will mean larger flowers later on.

22nd February 2021 we can not except orders from outside the U.K.

Tropical Hibiscus are native to China but are widely grown throughout the tropics & sub-tropics where they can reach up to 2m. They are tender in Britain and grown as

house/conservatory plants where they can be kept in check with pruning and if grown in good, natural daylight have large, showy flowers through summer & autumn.

ORDERS WILL BE SENT THE WEEK OF 12TH OCTOBER.

Our range of Conservatory plants give a cross section of colour and scents for year round interest. Most tender shrubs and climbers can be grown in containers of varying sizes and types outside for the summer months and then transferred back into the conservatory for the winter.

In some cases however, tender plants are kept in the conservatory and wall trained or grown to provide a canopy to shade other plants and to create an environment that is comfortable to live with.

ORDERS WILL BE SENT THE WEEK OF 12TH OCTOBER .

These easy to grow perennials come in an assortment of colours and are suitable for both dry shade or full sun. Exceptionally hardy, they are ideal cottage garden plants

for mixed borders and can make great companions for ferns in shady spots, giving colour where it is much needed.

Pelargonium orders for 2020 are now closed.

We hope to reopen orders in November for dispatch in March 2021.

Please note after end November 2020 we will no longer be able to send orders outside the UK

The Species Pelargonium is a half-hardy shrub first collected in South Africa and brought to Britain in the mid-seventeenth century by sailing ships from the Dutch East Indies Company.

We now have four distinct groups of Pelargonium from no more than 20 different species, from over 200 collected and by the hybridisation done by head gardeners of wealthy landowners in the 18th century. From spontaneous sports, sub-groups have developed, such as Angel, Double Zonal, Miniature, Dwarf, Cactus and Stellar.

Most Pelargoniums like a sunny aspect and can be grown in pots, hanging baskets, window boxes and open ground. In the right compost and fed regularly with a high potash feed, they will flower from spring right through to late autumn. If protected from frost during the winter months they will continue to thrive for many years. All mail order pelargoniums are grown and sent out in 6cm biodegradable pots and are ready to put into their final positions.

Nomenclature: The Botanical name of the plants featured in this section is Pelargonium. We do not use the name Geranium at all, although they are often referred to as this. The name Geranium rightfully belongs to a group of hardy herbaceous plants native to Great Britain, Northern Europe and North America.
