Bedding Plants to Order

We hope you are enjoying this glorious spring weather, and remembering to protect your bedding plants and tender vegetable plants such as peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers and courgettes from the frost  – we’ve had a sharp frost the last two nights.

Here is an update on the availability of bedding plants at the moment. It is proving to be a challenge getting sufficient stock in to satisfy demand, as the growing process as been badly affected by lock-down measures, however we have a good selection in stock right now.

 Tub & Basket Bedding Plants

We now have these back available again at £2.50 each or 6 for £12. These are mixed plants and we are unable to pick out specific varieties for you as they have come to us as a mix. Your mix might include Bacopa, Fuchsia, Verbena, Callibrachoa, Nepeta and many more varieties – all looking good and strong and ready to go.
We have teamed up with Scottish Growers Pentland Plants and can now offer colour themed carry packs as a basket kit. These come in the following colours:
Blue Shades
Pink Shades
Hot Shades
There are 6 plants to a pack and they are £12.99 per pack and are looking gorgeous.

Fuchsias
We now have some beautiful Fuchsias in stock. Our upright, bush fuchsias are in 1 ltr pots and are good sized, bushy plants in bud and flower and look amazing. They are £4.99 each or 3 for £12.
Trailing fuchsias are in smaller pots and are £2.50 each or 6 for £12.

Nemesias
These lovely scented bedding plants are also available in two sizes and are in bud and flower and are £4.99 each or 3 for £12 for the larger 1 ltr pot size and £2.50 each or 6 for £12 for the smaller 9cm pot size. These make lovely plants for containers and to fill gaps in the borders.

Marguerites 
These are also known as Argyrathemeums or Crazy Daisies and make quite a large plant, covered with daisy like flowers over the summer months. We have them available in Red, Pink or White, and they make wonderful feature plants in containers and in the garden. They are easy to grow, and reliable to flower, whatever the weather. These are £3.99 each.

Variegated Zonal and Ivy Leaf Geraniums
These are sold as individual plants and are £2.75 each or 4 for £10. Ivy leaf geraniums are the trailing ones and look really good in window boxes and containers – you might have seen them in your travels in France and Italy (in the days when we could go there!). Variegated Zonal geraniums are the ones with attractively patterned leaves, and these make a good central feature plant in a mixed container and also make a good houseplant on a sunny windowsill.

Scented Leaf Geraniums
These have strongly scented leaves and the two varieties (or flavours) we have are Sweet Mimosa and Cola Bottles, which really does smell of the fizzy drink. These look great in pots in a sunny spot outdoors and also do well as indoor plants. Perhaps a good way to get the children involved with gardening.

Surfinias
These are the trailing petunias that everyone loves in their hanging baskets. We don’t have a huge amount available, so once they’ve gone, they’ve gone! Colours are blue, purple or red. These are £2.75 each or 4 for £10.
We also have some red petunias ready planted up in hanging pots – all you need to do is hang them up somewhere, and you’ll have an instant display of flowers. These are looking really lovely and are £12.99 each.

Bedding Packs
We have a selection of bedding plants available in packs, and the current choice includes:
Alyssum in pink or white (12 per pack)
Busy Lizzies (these are a new disease resistant variety) (4 per pack)
Red salvias (6 per pack)
Cosmos in White, Pink or Mixed (4 per pack)
We also have limited numbers of Nicotiana Mix or Appleblossom, French Marigold, Antirrhinum (Snap Dragon).
These are all £3.50 per pack or 4 packs for £12.

We also have packs of bedding geraniums at £3.99 per pack or 4 for £15. There are sold as 4 per pack.

HERBS & STRAWBERRIES
We’ve had another delivery of herbs today, and the smaller pots of herbs are £2.50 each or 6 for £12. The choice includes:
parsley, rosemary, catnip, mints, lavender, pot marigold, sage, artichokes, thymes, fennel, oregano, lawn chamomile, curry plant, alpine strawberry, basil and tree spinach. Quantities are limited to a maximum of 6 per variety when ordering.

As larger herbs for immediate impact we have Lavender Munstead, Lavender Hidcote and Lavender Vera as well as golden Marjoram and Trailing Rosemary. These are all £4.99 each or 3 for £12. Numbers are restricted to a maximum of 8 per variety when ordering.

If you would like larger quantities of herbs please email me on emma@woodsidegarden.co.uk and let me know how many you require and I’ll try to order them in for you.

We also have a few more strawberry plants available at the same price as the small herbs; Hapil, which is an early variety, Red Gauntlet and Alice which are mid-season and Sophie which is a late variety. Numbers are limited and these will sell out soon.
We also have parsley available in packs of 6 at £3.50 per pack, which is excellent value. These are part of our vegetable pack range which also includes lettuce, cabbage, oriental leaves, calabrese, leeks and cauliflower, as well as peas, French Beans and Runner Beans. Most of the vegetables are sold in packs of 12 and you can mix and match packs 4 for £12.

Meconopsis
I think I forgot to mention on the last email that we have Meconopsis sheldonii available just now as a 3 litre pot plant at £8.99 each. These amazing blue poppies do really well in our area, and enjoy a humus rich soil in semi-shade. A “must” for any garden. They associate really well with rhododendrons and we still have some of these available too, which are just coming into flower.

A Reminder

We can only take telephone orders on 01835 830315 10am – 12pm, and 1pm – 3pm Monday to Saturday, and 10am – 12pm on Sundays. Saturdays and Sundays are usually the quietest days, so if you’re struggling to get through I would suggest you try then. Home deliveries may take up to two weeks, but we now have a collection service too – which is usually available the next day, please let us know when you order whether you can collect or are shielding and need the delivery service.

Once again, thank you for your continued support.
