SPECIAL PLANTS NURSERY
...for passionate gardeners

We grow and sell unusual plants from all over the world including an amazing range of hardy herbaceous and rockery plants as well as many tender perennials for terrrace and conservatory. Derry Watkins, author of two books on greenhouse gardening has introduced many new plants from her plant collecting trips to South Africa and elsewhere. She also teaches one day gardening courses at the nursery and lectures extensiively. The nursery (open daily) is near Bath in southwest England, but we post seeds all over the world

Plants of the Moment - Heuchera 'Marmalade' and Erysimum 'Pastel Patchwork'
Both changing colour day by day, look wonderful with each other and with anything brown, like Carex flagellifera. Available now
