Let’s Get Growing!

We want to make sure you get the most out of your plants. Every month we pick a new ‘Plant of the Month’ to give you some inspiration and we have lots of guides on how to care for your garden.

Plant of the Month

Hello November!

Big or small, evergreen or deciduous, spring/summer or winter flowering - There’s a Viburnum for every garden! This month I’ve picked three varieties to highlight: Viburnum tinus ‘Spring Bouquet’, Viburnum tinus ‘Gwenllian’ and Viburnum x burkwoodii ‘Park Farm Hybrid’.

If you’d like to know more about Viburnum please pop in and talk to our friendly team.

Bulb Lasagne

It’s one of our favourites! A bulb lasagne is a great way to keep colour in the garden throughout spring next year.

Why not finish your bulb lasagne off with some autumn bedding? This will extend the colour in your garden from autumn right through until your bulbs emerge in the spring.

SO Plants’ 2025 Chipping Show Garden

We created this show garden to highlight ways in which we can make our outdoor spaces more inviting to wildlife and more accommodating to our four legged friends. Whether you’re looking to help save the bees or just keep the dog from trampling your borders, this garden has something for you.

Prunus Incisa

Kojo-no-mai

Spring flowers, autumn foliage and winter interest: Prunus incisa ‘Kojo-no-mai’ has got it all! Compact and well behaved, ‘Kojo-no-mai’ is a great addition to small gardens or container gardens.

Liquidambar styraciflua

Sweet Gum

If you’re looking to add some stunning autumn colour to the garden then look no further than Liquidambar styraciflua.

While they can grow up to 20m in height, varieties such as Liquidambar ‘Gumball’ are a great choice for smaller gardens.

Japanese Maple

Japanese Maple, or Acer palmatum, is a great choice for pots and small gardens. They’re well known for their rich autumn foliage colour and for good reason!

Pop in to check out our range of Japanese Maples and have a chat with our friendly team.
