Willingham Nurseries have been supplying growers and gardeners with young plants for over twenty years. Our online catalogue lists over 300 varieties of garden plants with prices starting as low as £1.50. Although Willingham Nurseries specialises in growing climbing plants - Clematis, Honeysuckle (Lonicera), Jasmine, Hops (Humulus), Passiflora, Ivies and others - we do grow a wide range of other plants such as Bay and Olive Trees. If you can't find what you're looking for in our lists please email us and we'll do our best to locate it for you. In order to keep postage costs to a minimum (see postage rate guide) we supply young plants in 7cm and 9cm pots and mature specimens in 1 litre pots. All our plants are well established and ready to shoot away as soon as they are potted up - given the right conditions you should have well established plants within a very short time. For help and advice on gardening visit the Willingham Nurseries Library.

Hops

Hop variety 'Santiam' is available now. Vigorous growth and a heavy yield can be expected from this German Tettnanger x Cascade hybrid. The aroma resembles that of a Noble hop - herbal, floral and is an ideal choice for decorative hop bines and as a dried flower for 'sleep pillows' - and of course making beer! Typically used as an aroma hop in German lagers and ales this is an excellent replacement for Tettnanger. For those of you who also like to eat what you grow then this vigorous plant will produce an abundance of young shoots in the spring - ideal for making dishes like 'Jets de Houblon'. Plants are well established in 9cm pots.
Leycesteria formosa also known as Himalayan Honeysuckle or Pheasant Berry. Shrub which grows to 2 metres, flowering mid-summer to early autumn. Pendant spikes of deep red bracts with white, delicately scented flowers and red-purple berries. Very popular in Victorian gardens and now enjoying something of a revival.
