I`ve been using a damp afternoon to take basal cuttings! These cuttings are cut from the very base of the plants in the borders, just below soil level where the stems meet the roots. These cuttings have huge rooting potential because they are so close to the root system of the plant. You have to be quick though, a few more days left on the mother plant and they may be too long!

If you go down to the woods today you’re sure of a great delight.
Visit now to see a charming carpet of bluebells in the woods where our plant nursery is nestled. Come along for herbaceous perennials, shrubs, trees and hardy annuals, and linger a while for our gorgeous location.

Euphorbia palustris (Marsh Spurge)
In late spring zingy bright greeny yellow flowers are produced on the tops of soft, upright stems. Its leaves turn shades of yellow, orange and red in autumn.
This Euphorbia likes a moist soil in full sun or light shade (palustris means ‘of marshland’). It is fully herbaceous, dying back to ground level each winter and popping up again in spring. *Note* the sap of all Euphorbia can burn skin, so wear gloves and eye protection when handling

The plant pictured is Omphalodes `Starry Eyes`, a great low carpeting plant for a shady spot!
Lamprocaponos spectabilis (formerly Dicentra and known as Bleeding Heart) bears pink-red, heart-shaped flowers with white tips. They hang from arched flower stems in spring and early summer.
After flowering the plants dies back to hide from the summer heat and emerges again in early spring.
It thrives in partial shade but will grow in full sun if the soil is kept consistently moist. With a spray of fern-like foliage Lamprocaponos spectabilis can reach up to 1m tall.

A couple of weeks ago Billy and Norma took down some old rotten tables and created a new ground level growing area.
The new space means we can fit more in, see stock easily, and water more easily too! The fence will help to keep deer out.
Swipe for the before and work in progress and visit @stottsnursery for herbaceous perennials, shrubs, trees and hardy annuals.

The fern, Matteuccia struthiopteris.
And scroll for a tour of the nursery in the stunning Spring sunshine today. We might be biased but we truly believe @stottsnursery is a special place to be.
Matteuccia struthiopteris is a deciduous fern known for its tall fronds that resemble ostrich feathers or shuttlecocks. It thrives in moist, shady, woodland and waterside conditions.

At the nursery with Billy and Cornus – the coloured stemmed Dogwoods.
Generally growing to around two to three meters tall, their best colour comes if you cut them back hard every year or couple of years. It’s the newest growth that has the best, most vibrant colour.

Ribes laurifolium
One of the earliest evergreen shrubs to flower – tassels of white green flowers grow against dark green leathery leaves with red stalks and stems.
It should be grown in full sun, in well drained soil with some shelter.
