Prunus ‘Kojo no Mai’
I hate to play favourites but this might be one of mine! Prunus ‘Kojo-no-mai’ is currently boasting some gorgeous spring blooms and, come autumn, we’ll be treated to its stunning foliage.

Alpines
The alpines have arrived and we have a great range in. Alpines can bring some wonderful Spring colour to the garden and are low maintenance.
With alpines, your main concern is drainage. You’ll want a 50:50 mix of compost and grit, which is why they’re often better suited to containers,
Alpine containers also make great fairy gardens for young gardeners. Simply add a pebble path and let their imaginations run wild!
Clematis
Looking to add a little colour to your patio this summer? Why not try building your own patio clematis feature pot? We have some great varieties of clematis in at the moment so please feel free to pop in for a chat about the best clematis for your garden.
Hydrangea
The ever popular Hydrangea is well suited to our area and makes a great addition to the garden. You may know that they can change flower colour depending on the acidity of your soil.
For more information, or to find out if a hydrangea is best suited for your garden, please pop in and see us or get in touch!
Rhododendrons
They’re a woodland garden classic - Rhododendrons are acidic plants suited to our local clay soil. We recommend planting in March/April or October and mixing acidic organic matter, like ericaceous compost, into the area in which you’re planting.
For more information, please pop in and have a chat with our team!
Magnolia
You’ve likely seen a magnolia or two in bloom this spring and, with such a range of sizes available, there’s likely a magnolia perfect for your garden.
