We sell most of our plants in 1 litre pots and these are growing outside and can go straight into your garden, easy! They love full sun or partial shade.

As most Heucheras they grow very well as ground cover or plant in containers as the star of the show and when they flower in the summer the bees love them!

***EDITED*** Apologies for anyone who wanted to purchase Heuchera ‘Fire Alarm’ as shortly after our newsletter went out we have sold out for the season! Have a browse around our other lovely plants in our shop where you can narrow the search terms to colour, aspect and more to find the perfect new addition to your garden.

Our Tiarella ‘Emerald Ellie’ Loved by the Bees

Posted on by

Bees absolutely love Heuchara, Heucherella and Tiarella. As bees are struggling a bit at the moment, it’s good to put plants in your garden that they love to help them out a little. In the video above is a bee loving our Tiarella ‘Emerald Ellie’. If every garden contained a range of bee friendly flowers, trees and shrubs we could all help reverse the decline of bees by giving them food and shelter.

It’s important to plant a variety of plants that will flower at different times of the year so the bees can visit your garden all year round. If you do wish to encourage bees in your garden, avoid using insecticides, especially while your plants are flowering. This kills off not only the pesky insects you don’t want, but also the pollinating ones such as bees.
