Tender Plants for Conservatories and Sun Rooms

Our polytunnel has been transformed into a stunning space displaying tender plants for conservatories, sun rooms and patios. Most of these plants will live outside quite happily over the summer, to give your garden a lush, tropical feel, but will need to come indoors for the colder months.

Tender Plants

Here are some of the plants we have available:

• Gloriosa  with shocking pink blooms
• Hoya bella, (Wax Plant) a house plant with sweetly scented white flowers
• Plumbago – a blue flowering climber
• Aloe Vera – an easy to grow plant with healing sap
• Cannas – exotic blooms suitable for pots and patios
• Mandervilla – a subtropical vine with stunning flowers. We have 3 varieties Classic Red, Flamingo Pink, Classic White.
• Zantadeschias – in a choice of colours
• Passionflower – really big bushy plants standing around 3ft in height, full of flowers and buds. Three varieties – Clear Sky, White Passion, Violet Passion. £59.99 each
• Citrus trees – Lemons and calamondins, both carrying fruit £52.99 each.

Garden Plants

There are plenty more garden plants available this week. My personal favourites are:

• Flower Carpet Roses in 6 different colours
• Penstemon Sour Grapes
• Hosta Sting – a new variety with white stems, upright growth and good variegation
• Agastache Blackadder – a great plant for pollinators and attractive too
• Persicaria affinis Superba – one of the vey best ground cover plants which flowers from spring, through summer and into autumn.
• Hemerocallis – I love Daylilies. They are really easy to grow and keep producing blooms throughout early to mid-summer. We have 6 varieties – Night Embers (dark red double flowers), Summer Wine (pinky red), Charles Johnston (cherry red with green throat), Golden Chimes (rich gold), Stafford (deep red with orange throat) and Stella de Ora (crisp clear yellow)
• Alstroemeria – choose from Husky (speckled orange), Sundance (speckled yellow) or Indian Summer (bronze leaf and orange flowers)

As usual this is just a quick taste of what we have available. Don’t forget we also stock garden furniture, water features, decorative garden ornaments, birdbaths, pots and statues, garden vintage and antique items and much more, so do come in and take a look.
