Clockhouse Nursery Ltd products

We have all kinds of bedding plants at Clockhouse. Most of the plants that fall under this heading are sold from number 1, 2, 3 & 4 greenhouses during the months of April, May, June and July. Generally speaking these groups of plants are not hardy or at most half-hardy which means that they are for summertime selection. The majority are annual plants, meaning they survive one year.

Climbing plants do not really need a definition as their group name is fairly self explanatory. These plants will climb, clamber or ramble up or over walls, trellis etc. Some will ‘self cling’ and others will need a little help initially with the tying of stems. Some will twine or twist themselves up and around a structure. Self clingers will have aerial root systems which morph or change into clamps that will suck to brick work or fences. Gardeners can use the tendency of climbing plants to grow quickly. If a plant display is wanted quickly, a climber can achieve this. Climbers can be trained over walls, pergolas, fences etc. Climbers can be grown over and through larger shrubs and trees to provide additional attraction.

A hedge or hedgerow is a line of closely spaced shrubs and tree species, planted and trained in such a way as to form a barrier or to mark the boundary of an area. Hedges used to separate a road from adjoining fields or one field from another, and of sufficient age to incorporate larger trees, are known as hedgerows. It is also a simple form of topiary.

A perennial plant or simply perennial is a plant that lives for more than two years. The term is often used to differentiate a plant from shorter lived annuals and biennials. When used by gardeners or horticulturalists, perennial applies specifically to winter hardy herbaceous plants.

Amongst our wide repertoire of plant species, we regularly endeavour to include a selection of rare, unusual or more exotic examples. Although these types of plants are not specifically within our area of expertise, we find that offering such plants, helps us to keep our selection interesting & increase the appeal of our stock to a wider audience.

Whether you need to support a ‘floppy’ perennial plant as it grows or secure a new tree when planted, we have a support solution for you. We offer a wide range of custom supports to suit most applications & budgets. If you need to build a runner bean cage etc we offer bamboo canes sold individually rather than in packs like most other retailers. This means that you can buy exactly the amount that you need without having left overs. For something with more longevity, we also have the plastic coated alluminium alternative.
