LONG ACRE PLANTS

Plants are the reason for this business and with a very few exceptions we grow what we like, for all the usual human reasons of association, perception of what is beautiful or just inexplicable love. Stocks of some plants which are in short supply are no longer listed here but are obtainable until sold out from our online shop or from the sales area in the nursery.   Click here to sign up for our free email newsletter.

GERANIUM (Geraniaceae)
The number we offer has grown without realizing, largely because they are such easy good garden plants which in many cases flower all Summer. Too many forms have been named (60 Geranium x oxonianum forms in last year’s Wisley trials) but here are some good distinct plants. 
Geranium ‘Blue Sunrise’ Compact growing with a yellow flush to the foliage and pale blue flowers. £3.50
Geranium ‘Brookside’ AGM I think this is one of the best introductions of the last ten years, compact habit with clear blue white eyed flowers over a long time. £4.00

Geranium ‘Ivan’ Compact psilostemon hybrid, manageable and repeat flowering, typical screeching pinkish red. £4.00
Geranium ‘Jolly Bee’ The debate continues, is it distinct from ‘Rozanne’? I believe it’s ended up in the courts, anyhow like Rozanne an excellent wallichiana hybrid. Its flowers are huge, sky blue with a white eye, from late April to November. £4.00
