Home grown plants!
Thousands of the plants on
sale are grown on our own production nurseries.
Easy to grow plants that complete their lifecycle from
seed germination to maturity in a single growing season and then die. Most
bedding plants quickly produce a mass of colour, primarily in Spring, Summer or
early Autumn (depending on the variety!) and are therefore ideally suited for
transforming an otherwise dull border in a very short period of time. |
 |
Spring or Autumn bedding plants such as Pansies or Polyanthus can withstand
frost. Summer bedding plants such as Lobelia or Marigolds will not survive
a frost at all.
|
 |
Why is there such a big difference in the prices of
pot grown bedding plants such as Geraniums and Fuchsias?
Like all things in this life "you get what you pay
for!"
The cheapest plants are those grown from seeds. Plants
produced in this way will not be identical to the parent plant or to other
plants from the same batch of seeds. This is the type of plant generally
sold in "discount" nursery outlets - but we have some too!
|
 |
| You will pay more for a
plant that has been grown from seed if it has been specially bred to provide
the best flowers or leaf colour, because the breeder owns the "copyright"
and charges a Royalty Payment for allowing production to take place.
The very best bedding plants have been specially bred,
(the price includes a Royalty Payment) and to make certain that the young
plants are identical to the original, they have been produced from cuttings
taken from the parent plant. This is the premium type of Geranium as sold at
the Chelsea Flower Show... |
