We have been really busy replenishing stock this week after record sales. We now have a good stock of roses for sale. We have dealt with the same rose suppliers for about 20 years now, both here at Woodside and at Floors Castle Garden Centre before that, and these are the best quality roses I’ve seen over those 20 years.

Shrubs:

We have restocked our shrub beds and have some gorgeous plants ready waiting for their new homes! Highlights this week are: Daphne Pink Fragrance, Hebe Champagne and Wiri Cloud, Rhamnus alternus argenteovariegata, Berberis Golden Rocket, Cistus procumbens, Cornus alba Elegantissima and Gouchaulti, Buddleia Buzz (compact) in Ivory, Candy Pink and Hot Raspberry, Olearia macrodonta Major (Daisy Bush) and we have Ceanothus back in stock again. We also have lots more varieties available, but these particularly caught my eye.

Herbaceous Plants:

Plenty available, but looking really good are: Chelone obliqua (Turtlehead), Eupatorium atropurpureaum, Anemone Honorine Jobert, and Anemone Wild Swan, and we have three varieties of Agapanthus – Headbourne Hybrids, Black Pantha and Midnight Star.

Herbs:

We are currently in the middle of the production “gap” that lockdown has induced, so varieties are limited – we have some lovely fresh sages, mints and golden marjoram available, but not much else just now. Hopefully production at UK nurseries will increase again, and we’ll be able to restock soon. I have however managed to source an outdoor grapevine, Merlot, so if you fancy growing your own wine you might want to give it a try!
