To add to other people suggestions I usually look at Tortworth plants Paddock plants Dorset perennials Claire Austin Farmyard nurseries Urban jungle
I've bought plants all over the place online to many to name , small family run nurseries are best they rely on return customers be happy with previous purchases . Some websites aren't the easiest to navigate but a quick email usually gets the job done
Thanks for the replies everyone. The list isn't that extensive at the moment, but would include:
Salvia Lavender Verbena B Rosemary Wall flowers Heather/trailing plants Climbers (tbd exactly what) Rhododendron Saint Tudy - very specific here, and seems is not that widely available! - Saw this at Hyde Hall and it certainly ticked our boxes!
I'll take a look at the suggestions
My local Wilko and Morrison's have a wide range of clematis to choose from, around £3 each for decent sized 9cm plants. I noticed that they pretty much have them all year round in stock. The same with some other climbers and small shrubs (honeysuckle, camellia, etc)
Rosemary I just bought a pot from the supermarket veg section and it's been going strong in my outdoor planter.
Wall flowers I grew some from seeds (bought from Wilko again)
Interesting - how did the wall flowers from seed go? Easy?
Rosemary, yeah, we could do that, there's a couple of specific types I had in mind though, I think one was foxtail or something
My wall flowers germinated quite well. Sowed last Aug, planted out in the ground last Oct. All flowering now. But it's the bog standard yellow variety. I haven't found anywhere that sells the seeds of my favourite Constant Cheer yet
