At FOXGROVE
PLANTS, we grow a wide range of hardy and more unusual plants.
Snowdrops begin our season lasting from late January through to March.
At this time we also have a varied colour selection of HELLEBORUS
ORIENTALIS (the Lenten Rose.) Originally the stock was from Helen
Ballard and each year young plants are propagated from seed. The Lenten
rose is a superb garden plant; it is very hardy, early flowering and
the flower form is beautiful. The colour range is very wide –
from purest white through to rich plum purples, some have spotted faces
and some do not. These Hellebores will grow happily in shade and
require a well-drained soil which is not too dry in the summer. Other
winter flowering plants which associate well with Snowdrops include
Aconites (ERANTHIS HYEMALIS) and CYCLAMEN COUM.
Many Snowdrops are expensive, due to their rarity, but we also grow the
better known GALANTHUS NIVALIS, which will give an equally good display.
During the rest of the year we grow a varied range of plants from small
herbaceous plants and a considerable selection of grasses. This year
Epimedium cultivars and a small selection of Daphnes will be a
different group of plants to offer grown by Robin White from
Blackthorn.
The nursery is
family run; we propagate and grow all our own plants; the experience of
growing plants is genuine and gathered over a period of years.
Throughout the year we exhibit at major Flower shows so look out for
our stands at Malvern Spring, BBC Gardeners World Live and Hampton
Court, to name but a few. Or give us a visit, please check opening
times and refer to the map before setting out. Links to these pages on
the left.
The
plants sold are well established, of a size to produce satisfactory
results when planted by our customers.
We
hope to offer useful advice and knowledge of the plants as a matter of
course. It is important to us that we have discussed the
specific
requirements of the plants purchased in order to give them a good
chance
to establish.
Plants
can be collected from the nursery or from one of the many shows we
attend
through the season.
We have now extended our mail order service to include the addition of grasses as well as Galanthus.
We welcome enquiries from Societies and Groups to visit the nursery. Please get in touch by telehone. In February our Snowdrop collection is well worth viewing, at this time Hellebores are also of interest. Summer visits would be ideal for Penstemon and our wide selection of grasses. Please give us a call on 01635 40554.
