Exciting Website News

It's time to say hello again and welcome back. 

After a long and wet winter we are now pleased to be seeing longer days, more sunshine and less cold, although its still pretty wet here in west Wales.  It doesn't seem to have put the plants off though, and many of our herbaceous perennials are now peeking their heads above the soil and showing good signs of growth.  Our evergreen shrubs and Phormiums are looking good too.  

We have been making good progress with our website and would like to say a massive thank you to Jake for all his hard work in the background helping us with all the technical stuff in getting ready for its launch.  We are pleased to tell you that after many hours work and much problem solving our website is now live.  

You can find us at:

We are updating our stock as it becomes available and will be adding new many new lines in the coming months.  Larger plants are available on click and collect, or if you would like to visit us at the nursery by appointment then please contact us at: 
info@daisychainplantnursery.co.uk and we will be happy to make arrangements.  

Looking good at the nursery this week:

Corydalis 'Blue Heron'

Heucherella 'Sweet Tea'

Euphorbia 'Baby Charm'

Autumn has Arrived.

The Welsh countryside is ablaze with burning fiery colours right now.  Autumn has well and truly arrived.  

Our team is busy indoors working on preparing our website so if you're too far away to visit us, you'll still be able to buy from us.    Unfortunately at this point in time we will only be able to deliver to mainland UK, but will be looking at supplying a wider area in the coming months, so we'll keep you up to date on that one.    

This week we have been busy getting ready for the cooler days that are arriving soon and the impending winter frosts.  Plants have been inspected and tidied up, foliage trimmed where needed, and the greenhouse tidied, cleaned and new staging put in ready to take the more delicate tender plants.  

Our plants have been treated with Nemasys Vine Weevil Killer before the soil temperature drops too low.  This is a completely natural organic treatment in the form of microscopic nematodes (Steinernema kraussei) that seek out and destroy those pesky little Vine Weevil grubs that are munching their way through the roots of your prized plants.  It'll be too late to treat them this way once the temperature drops below 5 degrees Celsius, so if you are thinking of treating your plants, best do it now.

Our Heucheras at the nursery continue to look good, adding beautiful colour to autumn borders.  Heucheras are perfect for those winter displays and do well in pots with other plants like winter pansy's, evergreen grasses, baby shrubs and bulbs.  Or why not plant a container of contrasting heucheras, or even just one variety to a pot.  You may need several plants the same if it is a large pot.  

Heuchera 'Marmalade' 

 

Heuchera 'Sugar Frosting'

Heuchera 'Green Spice'

       
Thank you for reading our blog today.  Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.  And don't forget if you're living in the UK, British Summer Time ends this weekend, so don't forget to put the clocks back by one hour before you go to bed on Saturday night.  

Happy gardening
