🌧️ A throwback to last week's delivery to Glasgow... and the rain we were so pleased to see! 🚛🌱

After another hot week is due, we'll certainly be hoping for a few more showers. While our irrigation systems and reservoirs help keep our plants thriving, natural rainfall is always welcome.

Whatever the weather, our team continues to deliver quality British-grown plants to projects across the UK, helping create greener spaces from John O'Groats to Land's End.

🦋 That's a wrap on this year's Big Butterfly Count! 🌿

We've loved taking part over the past few weeks, counting butterflies and watching them enjoy our plants. These beautiful visitors couldn't resist our vibrant Echinacea, making it the perfect place to pause for a nectar-filled feast. 🌸

It's always rewarding to see our nursery buzzing with life, and moments like these highlight the important role plants play in supporting butterflies and other pollinators.

A big thank you to everyone who took part in this year's Big Butterfly Count. Every sighting helps build a better understanding of how our butterflies are doing and why creating pollinator-friendly spaces matters.

Here's to many more butterflies enjoying our plants in the seasons to come! 💚

🐾🌿 Peggy's Plant of the Week 🌿🐾

This week, Peggy has chosen the elegant Salvia 'Caradonna'! 💜

With its deep violet-purple flower spikes and striking dark stems, Salvia 'Caradonna' is a real standout from early summer through to autumn. A favourite with bees, butterflies and other pollinators, it's a fantastic choice for adding long-lasting colour and wildlife value to gardens and landscapes.

Why Peggy loves it:
🐝 Pollinator-friendly
💜 Rich purple blooms with contrasting dark stems
🌿 Long flowering season
☀️ Thrives in a sunny spot
💧 Drought tolerant once established
✂️ Great for borders, prairie-style planting and mixed schemes

As we're celebrating National Dog Month, Peggy gives this one a paws-up for creating beautiful outdoor spaces for everyone to enjoy! 🐶🌸

Would you choose Salvia 'Caradonna' for your next project?

🌿🦋 There's a reason Buddleja is known as the Butterfly Bush! 🦋🌿

This week, our Buddleja has been buzzing with life, attracting beautiful Red Admiral and Peacock butterflies as they stop by for a nectar-rich feast.

With its fragrant flowers, long flowering season and exceptional wildlife value, Buddleja is one of the very best shrubs for supporting pollinators while adding vibrant late-summer colour to planting schemes.

Have you spotted any butterflies on Buddleja this summer and during ? 🦋

💜 One of nature's most intriguing flowers... Passiflora 🌿

With its intricate, almost otherworldly blooms, it's easy to see why Passiflora (Passion Flower) is one of the most fascinating climbers. Every flower is a masterpiece, with striking petals, delicate filaments and a unique floral structure unlike almost anything else.

Its history is just as captivating. The name Passiflora, meaning "Passion Flower", was given by 16th-century Spanish missionaries in South America, who believed the flower's distinctive parts symbolised the Passion of Christ. The five anthers represented the five wounds, the three stigmas the nails of the crucifixion, and the crown-like filaments the crown of thorns.

Today, Passiflora is a popular choice for commercial and residential landscape schemes, bringing vertical interest, vibrant summer colour and a distinctive architectural element to walls, fences, pergolas and green infrastructure. Its nectar-rich flowers are also a valuable source of food for bees and other pollinators. 🐝
