French Lavenders just about ready too.   Please note that we do not have the resources to regularly update lists, so some plants might be sold out at this point. Please do not order patio & basket plants, climbers, trees, roses, lavenders, bulbs or fruit bushes that are not listed. If they are not on these lists we do not have them at this time - please check back later in the season. As our stock changes so rapidly in May we cannot guarantee exact varieties - we reserve the right to make close substitutions.

Our spring bulb season always starts with Snowdrops and ends with Alliums, Camassia and Gladioli - this year is no different, with the latter three coming into bud and flower now. All on offer 3-for-2. 
Our choice of vegetable and salad plants is limited this year, so take a look at our lists below before placing your order. Many of the herbs are getting to a good size now, although some will need a little cossetting if you order them now.
We have a great selection of healthy young Clematis and climbers that are growing at a pace. Many of the Clematis are now in bud with a few in flower. Go for vigorous early-flowering montanas, for obelisks and pots look at the Boulevard range, or treat yourself to a classic large-flowered Clematis. Happiest in part-shade, there is though a Clematis for every situation. For fragrance our young honeysuckles (Lonicera) are getting to a good height now; we also have Jasmine and a limited number of Trachleospermum - also known as Star Jasmine and Evergreen Jasmine. The climbing Hydrangeas are still a little short but they are such strong-growers we are happy to send them out into gardens now. Take a look at what else we have in the range:
 We regret that due to overwhelming demand we have had to temporarily close our order books whilst we catch up.
In the meantime, please take a look through the lists and suggestions in previous posts, and our Summer Patio Plants and Plant Packs pages, to help you prepare your order. We hope to be able to start accepting new orders from early May. We apologise for any disappointment. Our little Iris Amber Queens (bottom right of picture) seem to be in a hurry to flower. Limited numbers of these in 1 litre pots at £3.29. The rest of the bearded Iris are starting to bud and should be in flower for May. All in 2 or 3 litre pots priced £6.99. This sort of Iris should be planted with the corms just above the soil's surface so they can soak up the sunshine. Especially good for cottage garden schemes and gravel gardens. Ideally plant in clumps of three or more. Heights roughly 1-2ft. Bulb plants that should come back year after year. Good in dry soils, but not overly fussy. Very popular with the bees. Dot around your flower borders or grow in pots. Great as a cut flower, and a dried flower. All bulb plants 3 for the price of 2 Allium hollandicum Purple Sensation - rich purple colour, height 3ft, £3.99 in 1.5 litre pots (two bulbs per pot) Allium christophii - huge silvery-blue flowers, £3.99 in 1.5 litre pots (two bulbs per pot) Allium Miami - shaggy flowers, height 3ft, £3.99 in 1.5 litre pots (two bulbs per pot) Allium sphaerocephalon - small drumstick flowers, £2.99 each in 1 litre pots (multiple bulbs per pot) Allium (Nectaroscordum) siculum - very unusual appearance and scent. Also known as honey garlic, £2.99 each in 1 litre pots (multiple bulbs per pot) We don't have time to list all the pots we have available, so please take a look at our supplier's website to see sizes, prices and designs of many of those we are able to deliver: 'Sandringham by J Chamberlain' - note we do not have the white pots nor the 47cm size pots. 'Balmoral' - note we only have the CYLINDER and CONE shapes, and do not have the 48cm cylinders. Note we do not have any other designs from this supplier Minimum spend of £20 on plants to have pots delivered.  Just opening out into flower are the pretty Primula denticulatas, also known as Drumstick Primroses. Lovely little plants for gravel, rockeries and alpine collections. Come back year after year. Choice of colours including white, blue, violet, magenta. In 11cm pots - £2.59 each, special offer 5 for £10. Our wild primroses - Primula vulgaris - are coming to the end of their flowering but they are forming seed heads. So plant now for lots of bonus plants for future years. Especially good on banks, slopes, under trees and in dappled shade. Special price 5 for £10 (£2.99 each) Pair them with native English Bluebells, which should come into flower in a few weeks time. £2.99 per 13cm pot, all bulbs 3-for-the-price-of-2. Photos for illustration only - not of current stock Better known as Thrift, the Armeria are tough little plants that thrive in coastal areas and do well in most sunny spots. As you can see, they are also butterfly-friendly. Available in 1 litre pots at £3.29. Available pink, white and red. While we are in the A section we will also give a mention to the Aubretia. Pictured are Kitte Blue in 1 litre pots for £3.29, still in flower. Our other Aubretias are beginning to come to the end of their flowering period but can still be planted out for future years: red, pink and pale blue - £4.50 each.  Don't miss out on these oh-so-pretty Viola Freckles. Just coming into flower now, the delicate speckled flowers make you want to get down low to truly appreciate them. Easy to grow and easy to care for. Nip out old flowers to encourage new ones - although you might want to leave some to drop seed. They look lovely in perennial borders, gravel, rockeries and in pots, and come back year after year. In 1 litre pots, priced £3.29 each. Make your borders look as warm as it feels at the moment, with these Geums and Erysimums. Both are long-flowering perennials that come back year after year. Best in sun and well-drained soil but not especially fussy. Geums are good for planting amongst other perennials as they have a small 'footprint' compared with the area the flowers fill above, meaning you can really maximise the space. Snip out old flowers to encourage new ones. Shrubby wallflower Erysimums are bee- and butterfly-friendly and fragrant to boot. When first blooms finish chop down the entire plant to just a few inches and it will soon regrow and you could have flowers well into autumn time. Those pictured are in 2 litre pots, priced £5.99 each. We also have Geum Koi (scarlet), Sunrise (yellow), Lady Stratheden (yellow) and Mrs Bradshaw (red) in 1 litre pots for £3.29 each.  We are getting lots of requests for Lavenders at the moment, and why not when they are so well suited to East Anglian conditions. It will be a while before the 9cm Lavenders are ready, but we still have a good few in 2 and 3 litre pots, including our most popular varieties: Munstead and Hidcote. Other English varieties available include Melissa Lilac, Little Lady, Grosso, Platinum Blonde, Folgate and white Edelweiss. Some have not been potted for a huge length of time but are big enough to plant out. If you are after French Lavender, our 'Fathead' plants are coming into flower now. All 2 and 3 litre Lavenders £5.99 each  |
