🪴 Houseplants 🪴

In need of a new home!

We have a beautiful selection of plants that have just arrived. There is a plant for each space in every room in your house starting at just £1.99.

My top 3 picks this week are

🥇 Orchid (Tiny dolls. A miniature multiflora orchid packed with vibrant blooms)

🥇 Dizygotheca (striking in its fine, serrated black foliage)

🥇 Monstera Thai Constellation (Cream and green foliage with bright speckles)

A houseplant really does make your home. Don’t miss out!!

🌳 There’s a tree for every space 🌳

Choosing a tree for any space depends on your specific layout, light levels, and whether you are planting in a pot, a narrow side yard, or an open lawn. Compact, slow-growing, and column-shaped varieties allow you to successfully add striking vertical elements, seasonal blossoms, or fresh fruit to even the tightest areas.

We have a new delivery of trees in stock. Can’t decide? Speak to one of the plant team and discuss your options.

Dibleys Stunning Gold Medal 🥇 Winning Streptocarpus come to Pentland!

I just love a Streptocarpus so I have managed to get an order from the best growers in the world!

Dibleys in Wales have won 36 Gold medals for their displays at The Chelsea Flower Show.

They have also won 200 RHS gold medals over the years. They probably have more medals than any other UK grower! I`ve already chosen mine so hurry along to get the pick of the bunch!

Streptocarpus make ideal houseplants!
They like a bright position but not full midday sunshine. Water moderately, then wait until the compost feels dry to the touch before watering again. Feed regularly with a high potash feed - either slow release tablets or a liquid feed.
Remove flowers as they die. Streptocarpus should flower for a very long period, usually at least from May - October.

During the summer grow them indoors on an East or West windowsill or anywhere that is bright but without strong sunshine. During the winter months keep your plants in as bright a position as possible to prolong growth and the flowering season.

Water from either above or below when the compost becomes dry on the surface and to a depth of 1cm. Water lightly from above onto the surface of the compost or sit the pot in shallow water (1-2cm deep) for a couple of minutes.
They prefer to be on the dry side and it is important not to overwater them.

We have just had another delivery of fantastic seasonal colour in our outdoor plant area so pop in for a look!

🚨 🔔 Calling all gardening groups, community gardens and charities 🔔 🚨

We have a few trollies of plants to donate for charitable causes. These will help many of you continue to bring floral cheer in community projects in the local and surrounding areas.

We are too busy to respond to messages and cannot hold plants back. Once they are gone…they are gone.

Please head to the till point and a member of the team will point you in the right direction.

🪴 🌺 NEW IN THIS WEEK 🌺 🪴

Another busy day in the garden centre with a big delivery of plants to supplement all our home grown shrubs and and perennials.
I’ve managed to source some plants you’ve all been looking for plus lots of instant colour so the plant area is once again full to the brim!

There’s so much in bloom just now and the plant area looks absolutely amazing!
Some of my favourites are Hebes, Hydrangeas, Astrantia and Scabious but there’s lots more.

The perennials that bloom later in the summer are starting to show their pretty faces. Billy’s picks are Crocosmia, Achillea, Echinacea and Anemones. You can really see why can’t you, they are so showy and really add impact to borders and containers.

Climbers add another dimension to your garden covering walls and fences with flowers and perfume. Passion flower and Clematis like a sunny spot and Hydrangea Petiolaris and beautifully scented Honeysuckle will take partial shade perfectly.

Some plants have been out of stock through the early summer but I was delighted to be able to source them this week. Evergreen Azaleas seems to be on everyone’s wish list as do Camellias. We now have a lovely selection of patio fruit trees and Lilacs.

Happy planting 👨‍🌾 ☀️ 🪏

Some tasty option on our weekly changing specials starting today! What would you choose?
