Ferns
No longer relegated to the wooded or wild garden, ferns are back in vogue!
We grow over 20 varieties of hardy fern and many of these are British natives. Some still crave the moist damp and darker areas of the garden whereas others are perfectly happy in the border amongst other perennials and shrubs.
Indeed, many of the ferns that we grow will tolerate surprisingly dry places in summer. All are virtually trouble free with rarely a pest or disease attacking them.
Grasses
Ornamental grasses are an integral part of the trend towards more relaxed, more natural looking flower gardens.
Steppe and prairie planting styles rely heavily on ornamental grasses but many grasses and sedges have a place amongst shrub and perennial borders where they compliment the brighter colours of herbaceous perennials so well.
We grow at least 40 varieties of grasses and are always on the look out for improved forms.
Bamboo
Bamboo has the ability to provide seclusion, filter street noise, provide all year round interest, reflect light and provide movement in the garden. Bamboo plants can also provide a focal point in the garden around which other good foliage plants can be grown for contrasting look and texture.
You don't have to have a bamboo garden to grow bamboo because they fit right in with other shrubs and perennials.
Black bamboo and golden bamboo varieties are the most popular but we have a range of bamboo plants that are selected for their clump forming characteristics in the garden.
Bamboo, often very large ones, are available all year round.
