Plants
 
The nursery stocks all of the plants you need to add colour and structure to your garden throughout the year. This includes seasonal bedding plants for displays and containers, unusual herbaceous varieties, pre-packed and loose bulbs, a varied selection of roses (many of them highly scented old fashioned varieties), shrubs, ornamental and fruit trees suitable for the smaller garden.
 
We also sell a wide range of unusual hardy and half hardy annuals from our Home Grown range which are available on a seasonal basis.  Click on the listings below for more information.

The Petersham Nurseries Cutting Garden

In addition to the plants we buy in from more specialist British growers, we also have home grown plants (in organic compost) of more unusual seasonal herbaceous, biennial and annual cultivars.

 
Early Summer in the Garden 
 
In June the garden reaches as tumult of growth and opulence filled with roses, peonies, lavender and spectacular herbaceous plants such as delphiniums, lupins and hollhocks.  Careful planting can extend the season, look out for montbretras (crocosmias), knifphofias, schizostylis, heleniums, rudbeckias amongst others yet to come.
 
Good 'long players' include hybrid hardy geraniums such as G. 'Ann FoLkard', G.'Patricia', dahlias and penstemons.
 
The herb garden still looks well, but be prepared to shear lavenders back after flowering. This serves to both lenghten the life of the plant and to keep in within bounds. Some varieties may reflower, such as Lavandula Hidcote.
 
Most, if not all, of these plants are currently available at the Nursery.
 
 
Garden Tasks for September
 
* Traditionally September is the time you should be assessing your lawn and formulating a plan carrying out any major renovations or improvements throughout the autumn
 
* Cut back perennials past their best, and divide the overgrown plants
 
* Hoe off weeds in dry weather. If done when wet, the weeds are liable to re-root.
 
* Continue to water veg crops and harvest when ready
 
* Harvest early fruits
 
* Force hyacinth and narcissi bulbs for Christmas 
 
* September is one of the best months for planting as the soil remains warm so the roots of plants put in now will have time to settle before the onset of winter
 
* Collect seeds, lay them out to dry, then store them in labelled envelopes
 
We regularly update our plant pages however listings may not always be 100% accurate. Please contact us  if you are unable to find what you are looking for.
