Welcome to our reasonably complete (Continually upgrading) list of the plants growing in our gardens.


This list is subject to the seasons, as far as the Annuals go, but at some time of the year all of these plants are populating our gardens.

As we only sell the seed and plants that we grow here we can tell you, first hand how they grow, how they are responding to the climate and often, but not always, what could be wrong.

This list is arranged alphabetically using the COMMON NAME for your convenience, but common names vary hugely so some may differ.

The BOTANICAL NAME listings on the next page are as accurate as we are able to be at present and the family names are always subject to change.


A: Annual | BA: Bi annual | P: Perennial | HP: Herbaceous Perennial | DP: Deciduous Perennial.


If we have seeds or plants available from the list, the hyperlink on the right will take to you to the page on our main site.

If the name has no link, that is because:
- we either have only small amounts of seed that may be available.
- they are difficult to strike from seed and we don't want to set anyone up for failure.
- the plants are not old enough to produce huge quantities of viable seed.
- we just have not had time to list them yet.
- it is not legal to sell them.

 


If you are interested in anything on the list that has no page yet, please email us.
