ABOUT US ...
Mill Farm is a true hobby nursery ... not a garden centre ... so don't come with expectations of anything other than sellers of hardy perennials and shrubs ... and with this in mind don't expect pretty plants on the benches ...
perennials are the backbone of every true garden, ... creating magical natural borders throughout the spring, summer and autumn, to die back late in the year,
regenerating over winter, to create bigger and better plants the following year
... ... and because perennials do there best in the garden, their apprearance in the pot can be little other described than 'scruffy' - 'pots' to perennials are merely a means of transportatation from grower to border and they cry out to be planted up as soon as can be
.... buying from the garden centres will give you a 'pretty' over tended, over fed, induced plant, that may look lovely in the pot, may even be flowering ... but once it hits your under nourished, dried out, barely turned soil will instantly rebel to a lesser self if it doesn't give in all together !
....... whereas our hardy specimens will cry out to be in your garden, and with a good watering will settle in within a few days to only look forward.
Buying a perennial with a flower on may satisfy your curiosity ... but remember .. in most cases once you see it flowering its more than likely reached the end of its season... so won't flower again until next year ... so do try and choose a variety of flowering seasons to get the best from your garden.
