We grow a wide selection of shrubby plants and for ease of reference they
are split into the following groups (they can be reached by clicking onto the
relevant navigation button):
CLIMBING SHRUBS. These shrubs will climb or scramble on walls, fences,
trees, or bankings. Some are self-clinging, others need support. Most are priced
at £3.26 each.
CONIFERS. A range of slow-growing conifers, mainly for the smaller garden.
From £1.42 to £3.26 each.
FLOWERING SHRUBS. These are shrubs that are mainly grown for their flowers.
Some varieties also have attractive foliage or berries. These are priced at
£2.08, £2.86, £3.26 or £3.78 depending on variety.
FOLIAGE SHRUBS. They may still produce tiny flowers or berries, but their
main attraction is their leaves.
ROSES. A selection of Roses suitable for all parts of the garden.
SHRUB INFORMATION:
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 shrubs 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.
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 shrub to make sure that it is still firmly planted).
Water in well and then water and feed periodically as required.
Many shrubs can also be used for growing hedges. In view of current and
proposed legislation about the nuisance they can generate if let grow out of
hand, we would suggest that you remember that there are two sides to every
hedge. Always keep them well-trimmed and in order. It would be a friendly
gesture (and save more bother in the long run) to consult you neighbour before
you plant (particularly if you don't get on too well or don't know them yet).
Also make sure that you are not contravening any open plan rules.
