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
Collections of Helenium and Centaurea and we always
bring more varieties of these than you are likely ever to see anywhere
else.
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.
All our plants are hard
grown in the open as we think this gives a better plant to establish in
you garden. We don't force things on in polytunnels and greenhouses.
You can order plants to be brought to an event
at no extra charge and it is always advisable to ring or email to ask us to
bring the plants you want as we can't bring all full range to every event..
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

Our garden is open for the NGS in 2012 plus some special events as well. For details of opening times click

and other beneficial insects.
