Description
If it’s more “shrubby” items that you need to make a long-term structure and form in your garden beds and borders, then this selection is right for you. Here is a combination of some wonderful bushes and small shrubs, all of which are cold hardy in normal winters in the UK and Ireland. The range could include items such as Phormium, Cordyline, Clematis and Buddleja.

Growing Media and irrigation – The compost (rooting medium) we use in our plugs and pots is “peat reduced” and more commonly in the past season “peat free” medium, which is predominantly composed of coir fibres. We created the peat free media to try and replicate the qualities of traditional substrate, so it is very difficult to tell the different media apart by eye. All of our plants have a little slow release fertiliser in the plug already, to provide an initial boost for you when planting on, but they will love to be potted into a medium which has fertiliser incorporated, or added to it. The compost/media root ball itself for our plug plants is usually wrapped in biodegradable paper. The paper allows increased rooting at our stage of production and easier transplant of the plugs into your pots. You do not need to remove the paper from the plug. Our plug paper is fully biodegradable and will degrade over the course of the season once planted. The speed of the paper biodegrading depends on moisture and soil temperatures.
