Willingham Nurseries

Willingham Nurseries have been supplying growers and gardeners with young plants and rooted cuttings for over twenty years. Our on-line 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.

Here are just a few of the Honeysuckle (Lonicera) plants available from Willingham Nurseries. Rooted cuttings (when available) cost only £1.00 each and young plants in 7 cm pots start at only £2.50 per plant. The photographs are shown coutesy of The Dutch Plant Collection - well worth a visit.
