A well-planned border can provide a succession of pretty perennials that add colour, height and interesting shapes and structures throughout the year. An array of perennials in your garden will also prove to be an important food source for bees and other favourable insects, and if pruning and tidying is left until the very early spring, will also provide much-needed shelter for all manner of beneficial insects throughout the harsher months.

In fact, if you’re a keen wildlife gardener, then you’ll be able to introduce colour whilst supplying important beneficial insect food source with our exclusive ‘Milly’s Honey Bee Flower Plant Mixture’. Or if you revel in the haphazardly beautiful bursting borders of a typical cottage garden, why not opt for ‘Molly’s Cottage Garden Flower Plant Mixture’ for a really easy way to bulk out your borders. We have carefully chosen our perennial selection to present you with a range of plants that complement and contrast with a whole host of planting schemes, although we will admit that many of our personal favourites have made it into our listing too! We’re confident that there’s something for everyone, and many of our herbaceous perennials (and a hidden annual with a very special meaning to us) will not only prove to be a practical and attractive addition to your garden’s borders, but will also thrive alongside your garden pond, or even function as an innovative alternative to grass for your lawn.

Whilst we have tried to offer a truly eclectic mix of pretty garden perennial plants, visitors to our Kent-based nursery will appreciate that those plants listed in our online catalogue represent just a small proportion of the range of perennials that we are able to supply direct from Victoriana’s own nursery. So if you’re in the area, why not drop in and see our full selection for yourself?
