Latest additions to our plant range


We've just added Tumbelina Double petunias to our web range and they are already in demand! We know these plants very well as I used to work with the breeder David Kerley when we were both at Unwins. I remember David showing me his first double one summer - nine months later we had sold over 100000 ! David and his wife Priscilla are gifted plant breeders and have some excellent sweet peas to their name too. Their petunias are some of the best around and they have also raised Belarina Primroses and Candy Drops Cape Fuchsias. See more at http://www.kerley.co.uk/

Back on the nursery we are busy as ever and work has resumed on the new glass. The cold weather delayed us but we hope to have a roof on by mid Feb.

Next project on the web is pelargoniums and we hope to have something to show in a week or so....

Looking Forward




Still very wintry here but we are definitely looking forward now! Plant production continues apace and we've already made quite a few deliveries to wholesale customers.

To offset the winter blues have a look at a couple of the more interesting varieties we trialled last summer - a very interesting fuchsia with simply masses of tubular flowers and a great new intermediate sweet pea which bears loads of blooms and grows strongly to a height of about 3ft.
