Seasonal - Plants for Spring Interest

Covered in buds and with a stunning array of colours, our new stock of Camellia look superb.
Camellia x williamsii ‘Donation’, a beautiful, compact form, Camellia x williamsii 'Jury's Yellow' with anemone-form white flowers and Camellia 'Silver Anniversary' are just a few of the many varieties we have to choose from this spring.

Magnolia are showing buds ready to bloom next month with Magnolia stellata being the first here and a variety which we have found to be particularly hardy over the years. Magnolia ‘Susan’ also looks great with goblet-shaped red-purple flowers in a few weeks time. If it’s a summer flowering variety you are looking for, then Magnolia 'Heaven Scent’ is a good choice.

We have our full selection of roses at the moment with plenty of choice for all gardens and a few new introductions including the rose of the year which is 'Sweet Haze',a great choice for attracting bees into the garden. There is an excellent range of shrub roses with their old-fashioned scent ideal for many different garden situations - Bonica, Cardinal de Richelieu and Gallica versicolor to name but a few. Looking for a climbing rose? - we have a better choice than ever this year including ramblers and patio climbers.

Skimmia are covered in buds at the moment and there are several types to choose from including Skimmia japonica ‘Rubella' - a great choice for scent and Skimmia japonica 'Veitchii' which is a female clone. With beautiful, large red berries at the moment, Aucuba japonica 'Rozannie' is a good choice for those looking for an evergreen.

Rhododendron and Azalea are also a mass of buds just now, poised to open over the coming weeks bringing a burst of much-needed colour. We have a huge selection from dwarf up to hardy hybrids and yakushimanum varieties of rhododendrons and both evergreen Azalea japonica and deciduous mollis types.

If you are planning to plant a tree this year there are plenty to choose from including numerous varieties of flowering cherry, birches, sorbus, hawthorn and maples. Many of the varieties stocked are suitable for the smaller garden. There is also a good selection of fruit trees including plums, black mulberry (Morus nigra), quince and apple (we try and stock apple varieties which will do well in our area).

As always, we have plenty of hedging conifers from 30cm high to 2m, just part of our wide range of conifers in general.
