Our catalogue is continuously updated and includes many rare and unusual plants we are introducing or re-introducing this year.
Do come back if you don’t see what you’re looking for now - new plants will be added as they continue to grow throughout the season.
Some are only available in small numbers, so you may need to be quick.

We offer an exceptionally wide range of bulbs to pre-order in season, (January to March and May to July). We open our bulb store early and close it early! We publish two bulb catalogues online each year: • In May for Spring (& Autumn) flowering bulbs to plant in the Autumn; • In January for Summer flowering bulbs (& dormant plants) to plant in the Spring.

We aim to keep prices as low as possible, passing on the favourable 'large quantity' rates we get from suppliers, as well as selling in numbers that minimise packaging and administrative costs. Our bulbs are delivered to you fresh, avoiding lengthy storage in warm premises.In addition there are some bulbs listed in our main catalogue, which are planted and growing in pots. These can be bought at any time of the year.

Feature in 'Gardens Illustrated'
We were delighted to be featured in an article in the January edition of Gardens Illustrated on 'What Britain's best plantsmen are growing this year'. Monica Wylie, one of our design team, highlighted Aquilegia rockii, saying 'This graceful columbine stands out. It is a joy in the early summer garden and can thrive in dappled shade, as well as being an essential component of a flowering meadow, which we have used to great effect in our recent Chelsea displays.
