Our plant observations are based on years of experience in the nursery and our Holbrook Garden. We only sell plants in which we have complete confidence about their abilities to perform in western UK. Characteristics may be a little different for you but we have to assume you are able to give some basic plant care especially when they are young and establishing. We will send guidance with the plants about care and management. For autumn despatched plants some will be best overwintered in their pots and some planted out - cultural conditions will be included with the plants. For spring despatched plants which are sent root washed, we recommend potting the plants into 1 or 2 litre pots to grow on in a cold greenhouse or cold frame for a month or so before establishing in the garden. If you do not have such facilities we will try and send the plants a little later and you will be able to tell us if you do not have a greenhouse etc when you place your order. This webstore contains only a fraction of the plants we grow but these are the only ones we send by mail order.
