We hope you are all safe and well and trust that even with all that has been going on you have still been able to enjoy the pleasures of your garden and the plants within it. I gain an enormous amount of enjoyment just seeing the flowers appearing on some of my favourite plants - and this seems to be particularly true at present. With spring hopefully around the corner we are hoping we do not get much extreme weather as the season starts up once again. We are well stocked with an excellent range of healthy looking plants with which we hope to tempt you with some additions or replacements for your garden. The plants we are listing are looking good, budding up and full of potential.

We hope to have sales tables at various Plant Fairs once we are able to - please refer to our “Twitter” page or look on our web site for latest “News”. We look forward to being able to welcome customers back here at the nursery but in the meantime we hope to continue sending plants to you by mail order.

We have a good range of plants available at present and many more varieties coming on for the future. Look out in this catalogue for some new additions and some old favourites. The excellent range of Petiolaris Primulas including a good stock at present of P. ‘Netta Dennis’ and P. ‘Tinneys Moonlight’ are all looking good for a shady position. A good range of European Primulas including various “Wharfedale’s” and “Lindum’s” - including the “new” lovely white flowered ‘Lindum Ibis’. A good range of Corydalis including the showy and reliable C. ‘Korn’s Purple’ which are already growing away well and should be flowering by early summer. An excellent range of Autumn flowering Gentians as well as some of the popular Roscoeas and many more of our old favourites.

We also offer a range of plant collections, these are always good value and always include our selection from the best plants available at the time of ordering. We can often quote to make up collections for specific requirements, please enquire. www.plantswithaltitude.co.uk is now available with a download of our latest catalogue. As time permits we will add latest offers and news to the site which we hope will be of interest to those with web access. A web shop was added to the web site in the spring of last year and is regularly updated with plants in short supply - well worth a look.

Most of the plants we offer are grown with little or no protection at our Nursery in the North Pennines. The plants we deliver by mail order are the same plants sold at the Nursery. We send the plants in their pots usually by either Royal Mail or a 48 Hour Carrier Service, carefully wrapped so that once received, apart from having to replace any grit top dressing that has been taken off before dispatch they should be ready to be planted out in your garden. Situated in the North Pennines we welcome visitors to the Nursery during our business hours. We hope you enjoy reading our catalogue and ordering some plants or collections. Good Gardening.

Many will tolerate sun or shade. The species which we find more tolerant of drier more open conditions include the species and varieties of Dryopteris, Polypodium and Polystichum, these would also appear to tolerate drier shady conditions for us. Most of the other species and varieties prefer moist shade. F6 Adiantum pedatum ‘Imbricatum’. A very hardy, deciduous, £ 5.00 spreading fern with delicate looking “Maidenhair Fronds”.

These bulbil raised plants are all identical. F149 Polystichum tsus-simense. An attractive Japanese fern. Fronds up £ 5.00 to 30cm. G21 Gaultheria itoana. A lovely species for an ericaceous soil, bronze £ 5.00 tinged foliage, white berries. GENTIANA (Gentianaceae) A popular family of plants with species from around the world. Most gardens should be able to grow some species as the range includes lime tolerant and ericaceous loving species, plants for a cool moist soil and those for a sunny well drained scree etc.. Most have showy blue trumpets. If you do not have the required lime-free soil for the autumn varieties, try growing them in containers. Some of the faster growing, spreading varieties like G. ‘Eugens Bester’ make very good plants for containers where they will hang over the edge and provide a good Autumn display. Plant in a lime free compost with added composted bark and some grit, slow release fertiliser and keep well watered in a dry spell. We find the Autumn Gentians flower freely in a sunny position. All the Gentians we grow are extremely hardy and are grown without protection.

Spring and Summer flowering Gentians; Most of the spring Gentians will grow in a good rich soil, with or without lime. A sunny position is generally better for flowering.
