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 Phlox

You 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 here for our talks leaflet and click here for more details about Martin's talks at our events.

Our garden is open for the NGS in 2010 plus some special events as well. For details of opening times click here.
