July Newsletter
The nursery is now closed to visitors except by appointment or to collect orders until September. We will then be open on Thursdays and Fridays until the end of October, 10am to 5pm, closed around 1pm for a half hour lunch.
Featured Plant Persicaria virginiana 'Lance Corporal' A plant that is little known but loved by all who see it, bright lime green leaves with a dark red chevron (hence 'Lance Corporal') on the 20 cm long leaves, grows to around 60cm in foliage and maybe another 30cm in flower. Atop the stems the small dark red flowers are produced in masses during September and October. Doesn't run or become invasive but will die down over winter.
Plant News- Lots of new plants becoming available plus some old favourites like Hacquetia epipactis 'Thor', Heuchera Lime Rickey' Epimedium 'Red Beauty', Podophyllum Kaleidescope' Thalictrum delavayii 'Hewitt's Double' and many Digitalis. New plants include Brunnera 'Emerald Mist', Heuchera 'Electric Lime', Heuchera 'Fire Chief', Digitalis 'Spice Island' all available now and half a dozen new Astrantia that will be listed in the next month or so plus too many other things to list here. We have further stocks of Roscoea 'Red Gurkha' for anyone that wants this astonishing plant.
On the nursery
Rain has been promised but little has fallen in the last month.The first six months of this year have been the driest since 1929, oh could we do with a proper day or two of steady rain! Masses of potting going on with many new lines coming through, we divide many plants in July as they establish quickly with the warm weather. Spring taken cuttings are ready and the last of the seed germination from the spring. All these plus deliveries of a few tissue cultured plugs are keeping us busy, we struggle for space for everything! Now the nursery is closed to visitors for a couple of months we can concentrate on producing plants for next year.
Thanks for reading and have a great month
Nigel Rowland and the team
