Our other passion is the carnation...

We stock the largest collection of Border Carnations in the UK listing nearly 100 different varieties. Border Carnations are the hardy garden type, with big display flowers in an amazing range of colours and styles, some of them are also incredibly scented and a real treat to behold. Another type of carnation we grow is the Perpetual Flowering, this variety is generally grown in a greenhouse or conservatory, though at present we are succesfully using them as summer patio plants, with their fantastic repeat flowering ability they make an ideal accompaniment to the garden, and a delight when cutting your own flowers for your vases. With increasing demand we also stock a selection of Spray Carnations, we have chosen the best varieties for you to be able to grow your own cut flowers. Then of course there is the Trailing carnations which are ideal for hanging baskets.

But that`s not all... as well as garden pinks Allwoods grow a huge range of Penstemons, including many of the best garden varieties available. These summer flowering plants are ideal growing in tubs and flower borders. We also supply gardening aids, books, fertiliser, plant supports, floral accessories and gifts and much more. So please browse our website and may you get as addicted as we are....... !!

More recently with the retirement of David`s parents - who ran and owned Vernon`s geranium nursery, we have become home to their private collection of Geraniums and Fuchsias which you will now find growing alongside the pinks in the greenhouse! So many gorgeous varieties ideal for bedding, pots and containers, hanging baskets and specimen show quality plants.
