Herbaceous perennials (updated January 2011)

Perennials live for many years and die back during winter ready for a fresh explosion of growth the following spring. They quickly establish themselves and can provide a phenomenal range of colours, habits, textures, shapes throughout the growing season.Foliage and flowers can be planted in schemes so that gardens are packed full of interest all year round.

Lost for inspiration? If you are struggling for ideas please browse the display gardens. You will find most of the plants that are on display in the nursery.

The key to a successful perennial planting scheme is to choose plants whose requirements match your site's conditions. If you need help and advice on planting please ask a member of staff.

Please call us to check availability of plants.
