Purposeful Propagation
The Nymans Nursery serves three key purposes: propagating plants to plant out in the garden, propagating rarer plants to conserve them and propagating plants to sell in the shop as part of the ‘Nymans Collection'.
A key task for the year is sowing seeds for our famous summer borders. This started at the end of January and will continue to the end of March. Already we have our first seedlings appearing - Rudbeckia hirta ‘Cherry Brandy’, Antirrhinum majus ‘Madame Butterfly’ and Celosia ‘Fresh Look Orange’ - a welcome sign of sunnier times ahead.
Nursery Team
With 5,000 plants to grow for the summer borders alone, seeds need to be ordered and the nursery needs to be ready. Additionally, in order to propagate more than 2,000 plants a year for our shop, pots and peat-free compost need to be ordered well in advance.
