Hi Peonies1. Our stock changes wuickly. We are wholesalers so normally look at emails and then bounce the info straight back to you. Any enquires welcome. We supply lots of show gardens at all the major shows including Chelsea and Hampton Court. We are competetive and friendly!
Thanks for the comment, re: tricks for show plants, i think the best advice is to keep it simple. Only use plants that are doing there 'thing' at the time of the show. forcing or holding back plants can be difficult and v-time consuming.
The only plants that i had to do anything to were some Geranium phaeum 'Saturn' which got a cut back about 5 weeks before i think. Otherwise potting up everything into 4 and 5 litre pots 7 weeks before the show and some occasional deadheading was all i did.
Having enough plants of each type can also help, that way you can really pick the cream of the crop. I also never fed any of my plants, there was enough food in the compost for this year. Being fairly mean with any kind of plant food is a good idea, stressing plants out so they flower better can somrtimes help.
