Our Plants:
We
propagate and grow over 95% of our plants here at Hankelow. Plants are hard
grown - no heat and little glass cover.
We think this produces a better plant for the garden, but it does mean
that some plants aren't ready first thing in the year. We normally start
sending out mail order plants from April onwards. Some plants take longer to be
ready and are marked Available
Summer Onwards in the catalogue. You may
order these plants at anytime but we will hold your order until all
plants are ready. If you want some plants earlier it is best to place
separate orders. All
plants are produced in very small numbers. If we sell out we are normally
try and propagate some more.
We
use reduced peat composts mixed here to our own recipes. Currently our mix
is more than 50% peat free. We are
constantly looking for a peat free mixture that doesn't involve increased
watering or fertiliser input. The little brown or blue spheres you may
find in our compost are controlled release fertiliser granules. The blue
grains are vine weevil control powder. All plants are treated against vine weevil and
therefore are not edible and must not be planted in ponds or water courses
without first washing off all the compost.

and our honest advice if required. Plants on the nursery may be larger and

proportion of our takings is donated to the NGS charities. |
