Our Plants

Palm trees
For statement and structure, nothing does better. Always very good coastal plants. Our stock will nearly always include Phoenix Palms, Fan Palms, Jelly Palms, Chusan Palms and Cordylines.

​

Bamboo

The great divider of opinions! Nothing screens quicker - or better - than bamboo. We have plenty of varieties, some that spread and some that don't. We sell root barrier too, just incase.

​

Arid plants
Yuccas, dasylirions and agaves,,, beware - spiky!! Fantastic architectural value, love the sun and must be well-drained. Very hardy and very, very, low maintenance.

​

Acers
A favourite. Graceful, and so variable in shape, form, colour and texture. A healthy range of varieties and sizes are usually available.

​

Olive trees
The classic Mediterranean tree. Available as mature trees, half standards and small shrubs.

​

Ferns
The saviours of the shady environment. Wonderful forms and textures from the graceful ground covering ferns to the imposing Dicksonia tree ferns

​

Herbaceous perennials
Well a huge group of plants, but so effective and giving bursts of colour and interest. From spring through to autumn, there is always a wide range available.

​

Grasses
We're experiencing a renaissance for ornamental grasses, and rightfully so. Much underused, but so effective at softening spaces and giving interest where other plants struggle. Very useful in exposed environments.

​

Tropical
We love the tropical plants: bananas, ensetes, cannas, gingers, taro and giant taro. These are nearly always available from late spring.

​

Evergreens
Our evergreen shrubs are divided into two groups: the practical, good for giving coverage or hedging (such as laurel, beech, eleagnus, and privet), plus the ornamental evergreen shrubs which flower on and on (bottle brush, oleander, etc).

​
Fun impulse buys
Generally available from late spring until autumn, we can never resist the colour and flamboyance of Bougainvillea, Hibiscus rosa sinensis andMandevilla. They flower forever and bring such vivid colours.​​​
