Herbaceous Perennials
We have just finished potting up our perennials. These plants come to us as small plugs from a UK grower, we then pot them on and grow them on under cover ready for spring sales. They have a topping of 'potting bark' to keep the weeds off and the moisture in - it saves on chemical weed control. We will have to spray over the next few weeks to keep any fungal diseases at bay, other than that we sit and wait for the weather to warm up. The covered area is not heated so they do have to combat the cold - but not (chance would be a fine thing) the wet!
The range is not exhaustive but there are some good garden standbys in the range, Aster x frikartii Monch, Nepeta Six Hills Giant, Geum Mrs Bradshaw, Verbena bonariensis to name a few.
If you have not already planned to fill those holes in the border or go for a fresh redesign then get in touch or visit the Nicholsons Plants site where we will be putting up availability lists of what we have in stock. Be aware things move fast so place your order early and we will keep the plants for you!
Keep watching this blog and we will post fortnightly pictures of their progress!
