Tell us the spot and we will help you fill it. Filter our current stock by light, season and who you are planting for, from winter colour to the first flowers for the bees.
Every plant on the benches carries these symbols, so you can match the right plant to the right place at a glance.
A hardy evergreen shrub that is great for winter colour. Tight clusters of red buds open in early spring to highly scented cream flowers. Happy in part sun or a shady position, in moist but well drained soil. Equally at home in borders or containers.
Neat pink and white shuttlecock flowers above marbled leaves, from autumn right into winter. Lovely in pots by the front door or tucked under shrubs. Likes a cool, shaded spot that does not dry out completely.
Cheerful faces that flower through the milder spells of winter and burst back into life in spring. Plant in beds, borders or pots, in sun or part shade. Deadhead little and often to keep the flowers coming.
Smaller flowers than pansies, but far more of them, for months of colour from autumn to late spring. Perfect for containers, window boxes and the front of a border, in sun or part shade.
Low evergreen cushions smothered in pink or white bells from late winter into spring, and a vital early meal for queen bumblebees. Best in sun or light shade. Erica varieties tolerate most soils, unlike their summer cousins.
Big rosettes of cream, pink and purple that only get bolder as the temperature drops. Structural winter colour for pots and borders in a sunny spot, and a great partner for pansies and violas.
Plant in autumn for a spring show that looks after itself. Crocus feed the first bumblebees of the year, daffodils are reliably cheerful, and tulips bring the fireworks. Sun or part shade, in borders or pots.
Try removing a filter or two, or ask us in the nursery. We can usually suggest a good alternative.

Both thrive out of direct sun. The skimmia gives evergreen structure and spring scent, while cyclamen pop up underneath from autumn.
A classic cool season trio. Cabbage for height, heather for texture, pansies and violas to spill over the edge and flower for months.
Plant these three and there is nectar on the menu from the first mild days of the year right through to spring.
Snap a photo of the spot, note which way it faces, and bring it in. We will walk the benches with you and find something that will genuinely thrive there.
