Filling up for spring!

It's a long time till summer bedding plants can go outside, so if your winter displays have run out of steam treat yourself to pops of colour with low-cost spring flowers.

We've got lots to choose from at less than £2 a pot, including primroses, polyanthus, pansies and violas, with Bellis daisies just a little more.

We are very proud of our Suffolk-grown plants which are much chunkier than many other places sell, thanks to bigger pots, quality compost and long-release fertiliser.

As an alternative, alpines are the easy way to container garden as they give year-round colour, survive the frosts and need little watering

If you're looking for easy displays or gifts we have got some very pretty planters made up with alpines and other spring flowers.

The Roses might not look too exciting at the moment but get them planted now to enjoy fragrance and flowers in the summertime.

Fragrance can often be forgotten about but we have a whole table of suggested plants including sweet box, Pieris lily of the valley shrub, Buddleias and more.

Look out as well for scented Dianthus, sweet williams, sweet peas, wallflowers and more

March and April are probably the most satisfying months for planting perennials.

Put them in now barely an inch or two tall and by summertime most will be at full pelt, full of flower and completely transforming your beds in just a few short months!

Our selection is steadily growing at Monks Eleigh, with lots of cottage garden classics and lots for shade too.

We are waiting for even more to be ready from the Katie's Garden nursery, so let us know if you would like to put your name to anything!
