Seedlings

How are your seedlings different to other seedlings sold in other nurseries?

Our seedlings are sturdy plants grown in cell trays so each plant has a strong individual root system, they are of a size that they will transplant comfortably into your garden and given some time, water, nutrients and sunlight will develop into established plants for you to enjoy. Seedlings sold by our competitors will often not have individual root systems. This means their roots are all tangled together when you take them out of the punnet and can be damaged easily. If the roots are damaged, the seedlings are not as likely to establish well in the garden.
