About

We offer a collection which is a mix of new varieties, or old resurrected plant varieties that are rarely found for sale in catalogues.  We hope that you will find something that you may not have seen before or that you thought wasn't available to buy anymore.

Please use the wish list for any plant not currently in stock to be notified immediately when back in stock.

New plant varieties will be added to the website on a regular basis so please check back often.

For any specialist plant requests, please use the 'Sales Enquiry' on the contact us page.
