Advice on Looking after Heuchera

Posted on by

– Urszula B

Hello. I’m very sorry to bother you but I have just ordered some heucheras from you. I’m going to plant them in containers/for the patio display/. What kind of compost should I use? /Multipurpose or multipurpose with John Innes/.Should I also mix the compost with some potting grit? How often do I need to feed my plants and what kind of food is the best for them/ slow release or liquid food every week/? I have heard that heucheras do not like a lot of food.
Many thank for your advise.
Urszula.

Hi urszula
Thank you for your orders
Hope your enjoying your plants.
Any type of multi purpose compost no need for John innes
You can put grit in the bottom as that aids drainage
Your right Heucher as don’t need too much feed ..We think the best feed is a bit of slow release in the pot and a feed with liquid seaweed once every couple of months to make them grow beautifully xx
Hope this helps
Kind regards
Vicky

Is it free postage for big orders

I would like to buy more plants but most are out of stock. Do you offer free postage for larger quantities, if so, how much?

Hi Jacqueline
We don’t do free postage we just have 1 price for all so the more you order the cheaper it becomes postage per plant
Sorry some plants are unavailable at the moment but it’s impossible for a small nursery like us to have everything ready all the time
Hope this helps
Kind regards

RHS Malvern Spring Show 2018

Posted on by

RHS Malvern show didn’t disappoint this year, it was a beautiful, well thought out show with a HUGE flower marquee for us all! We were happy our educational display took home a gold medal, as always it’s a lot of fun discussing differences between our plants and how best to look after them.

A big thank you to each and every one of you who took home a plant as well, we are really pleased with how the plants are growing this year with their beautiful bright leaves ready to go into your garden.

This year potential new exhibitors came around to have a chat and see what show life is all about, 2 lovely groups of nurserymen and growers!

We always like doing these recaps of the shows and share photos as we know so many people would love to go but may not be close enough to attend. It seems the displays get more spectacular every year. Next up is our biggest show of the season, RHS Chelsea!
