SpecialPerennials.com
is a small nursery specialising in garden worthy
herbaceous perennials. We are one half of the team that organises of Plant Hunters'
Fairs - so if we blow our own trumpets don't be
surprised!
We hold the National
Collection of Helenium. (Full Status as of December 2008!) and we always
bring more varieties of these than you are likely ever to see anywhere
else. (2010 Update: we are running late with propagation due to
long winter so range will be limited at early fairs!)
Perhaps we are completely mad but
we also have
applied for collection status for Centaurea (perennial cornflower) so
expect to see lots of these..
For a small nursery (more accurately a
micro-nursery) we have an
incredible range of home-grown plants including large collections of Hemerocallis
(200+
varieties), Geum, and our other passion, Phlox as well as many other interesting and
beautiful
plants. Phlox are rarely offered by nurseries these days except a
limited range of mass-propagated types. We are collecting together a lot
of old or local varieties and growing these at our garden. Come along to
a fair in spring and be treated to a great choice of PhloxYou can order plants to be brought to an event
at no extra charge. Plants are also available by mail order. Click
here for a printable
version of our plant list but we really recommend visiting our website
for a fully illustrated catalogue plus lots of colourful information in
our Garden Diary.
We love giving talks to clubs
and societies and each year we add new talks to our range . Click

As always we will be bringing
a tremendous range of hardy perennials to:
