2010 ALSTROEMERIA CATALOGUE
If you would like us to send you a copy of our 2010 catalogue, featuring 14 new introductions, please contact us using the link above and we will put one in the post for you. Our on-line catalogue will be regularly updated with all the new additions and availability.
We only sell large, 1.7 litre plants, which is the equivalent of a standard 2 litre plant you would find in a garden centre.Our plants are well established which means they will flower this season. When comparing our prices, please bear this in mind. We do not send out plugs or small, 7cm or 9cm pots as we feel these are too small to plant directly into the ground. We would never send alstroemeria plants bare root, as we feel there is a strong possibility that they will not survive. There is a minimum order of £33 plant value.
DELIVERY
Plants will usually be despatched within 2 to 3 weeks from receipt of your order according to plant availability, but in extremes of hot (or cold) temperatures, plants will be held here in the nursery until the weather improves. Orders will be acknowledged personally by e-mail within a few days, giving an estimated delivery date.
P&P is £9.95 for orders up to £99 and £4.95 for orders of £100 or over for mainland UK (please see Terms & Conditions link for other areas).
NURSERY OPEN WEEKENDS FOR 2010

Look for the link at the bottom of this page to find us on Streetmap - note that we are approx. 300 yards from the crossroads - NOT the closed-down garden centre at the crossroads!
DAILY TELEGRAPH
We were delighted to be featured in one of Sarah Raven’s articles in the Daily Telegraph From Garage to Gorgeous where she encourages readers to grow alstroemeria for cutting. She also explains that the new varieties are not invasive (as the old ‘Ligtu Hybrids’ were) and they have a much longer flowering period. Please remember that the dwarf alstroemeria are wonderful for the front of the border so don't dismiss them just because you can't use them for cutting!
NURSERY VIDEOS
We are in the process of filming the content of our monthly videos, to show you what is happening here at the nursery. We have recently visited three alstroemeria breeders in Holland and another in England and will be able to bring you all the news of their latest releases once we have put all the information together in the winter. Please do log onto my website regularly to catch up with the nursery news!
