Perennials
Herbaceous perennials are plants that come back year after year. Perennials - particularly the cottage garden favourites - are what you will find most of at Bridge Farm Plants, the majority grown at Suffolk nursery Katie's Garden Plant Centre.
We have young plants in 1 litre pots for those on a budget, priced £3.29 - £3.99, as well as a huge selection of more established plants in 2 or 3 litre pots: most priced £4.99 - £6.99.
Among our extensive range are hardy Geraniums, hardy Fuchsias, Lupins, Penstemon, a wide choice of Salvia (sage family - including 'Hot Lips'), Verbenas (including the ever-popular ‘bonariensis’), Delphiniums, Hemerocallis (day lily) and Erysimum (shrubby wallflower).
