Haigh Lane Nurseries is a small, family-run nursery that specialises in
producing a wide range of garden plants for local gardens.
Varieties not listed: We are constantly enlarging the range we grow. Where varieties
are produced in very small numbers, or where we are not sure that varieties will be ready for sale this year,
they will appear on sale at the nursery as
and when they are ready.
Because we are a production nursery with plants at all stages of development,
from seedlings or cuttings to finished plants, we cannot allow customers to roam
freely as they do on a retail garden centre where every plant you see is ready for
sale.
HOW SALES OPERATE.
A selection of plants ready for sale is put out onto display plant-stalls.
This means that you can easily see what sorts of plants are ready. If you
can't see what you want - ask, we may have it.
When you are ready to purchase you get the personal attention of a grower
who has been actively involved in the production of the plants you buy.
We can help you to make your selection, bring out varieties you want that
are not on display, and give any advice necessary for the particular plants
you are buying.
It doesn't matter if you have come straight off the garden or are dressed
for a day out. There are no dirty pots to handle, no heavy baskets to carry,
no carts to push - you don't even need to carry the plants to your car. We
pack them for you and will happily load them into your vehicle if you wish.
PLANT NAMING:
This web catalogue is not intended as a horticultural encyclopedia and, like
Plant
News and nursery sales labels, does not necessarily follow the scientific upper/lower
case convention for plant names. We have decided, for reasons of emphasis, to
follow the traditional formatting for sales catalogues.
GENERAL PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS (HARDY PLANTS):
Container growing was introduced to allow the sale of plants out of what
was then the planting season. This minimises root disturbance when planting
and the root-ball should not, therefore, be teased-out except in special
circumstances, if directed. Some varieties can be harmed by root
disturbance.
All our plants have been container grown and can generally be planted
whenever the ground is not frozen.
After planting in a prepared bed or container the soil or compost should
be firmed down around the plant to make good contact with the root-ball.
Water in well and then water and feed periodically as required.
If the ground freezes after planting make sure that plants have not been
lifted by the frost (after the ground has thawed out, gently press around
the plant to make sure that it is still firm).
ALL OUR PLANTS ARE SOLD FOR PLANTING IN LOCAL GARDENS:
They are not sold for resale on other nurseries or garden centres.
They are not sold for use as mother stock for commercial propagation
purposes or for any other form of commercial plant material multiplication,
dissemination or distribution.
OTHER INFORMATION AND TERMS:
Every care is taken to ensure that varieties that are covered by Plant
Breeders Rights Legislation are clearly marked as such by a label attached to
each pot. Such varieties are either protected or protection has been applied for

licence is illegal.
