Ordered 60 Pearlwort plugs in mid-July as a low maintenance alternative to grass. Packaging and protection was excellent and plugs were in superb condition. I split each plug into 4 and planted directly into the soil which had been well prepared beforehand. The somewhat warmer summer meant more frequent watering to ensure the plugs settled into place. By next summer I anticipate the soil between the stepping stones in the garden to be completely filled with pearlwort. It is planted in direct sun and deeply shaded areas but all are growing and spreading well. Most of the plugs flowered and the spread has been quite amazing. Because of the layout, a lawnmower or strimmer would not fit so an alternative had to be found. Victoriana Nursery provided the perfect solution - a low maintenance grass alternative which also produces small white flowers. Everyone who sees it loves the look and the idea of no real maintenance. Victoriana Nursery has a range of unusual plants so I will definitely be after future purchases and spreading the word to those who are curious or are 'green fingered'. Great value for money. Keep the area weed free as the plants spread and weeds will be a thing of the past.

Citrus Fruits
Our Citrus trees have been specially selected to bring you some of the best varieties of lemon tree, orange tree and lime tree available.
Taste is the most discerning factor throughout our selection. All citrus trees listed within this category can be grown in containers; for many this is essential as they require protection and heat throughout the year - and if in containers they can be moved around under protection as required. More...
You don't have to live in a Mediterranean climate to enjoy Citrus trees all year round - as long as you have a warm, sunny spot inside or under cover (think greenhouse, glasshouse or polytunnel), you're all set to grow your own citrus fruit. Whether you're specifically after a lemon tree, orange tree or lime tree, you can look forward to your first home-grown yield with one of our young container-grown trees, supplied direct from our family-run nursery in Kent. All the Citrus trees that we sell are self fertile (self-pollinating) and can be grown as single trees in containers. Depending on the variety they should produce fruit from around early winter through to spring.
Lemon trees, lime trees and orange trees - in fact, all Citrus trees - require fertile, well-drained soil and a warm, sunny position. Lemon trees, lime trees, orange trees, and grapefruit trees are not hardy, with frosts and cold weather causing irreversible damage to blossom, fruit and foliage. This means that in Britain, any citrus fruit needs to be grown under protection during the winter.
And although we've done our best to provide you with Citrus trees that produce the best-tasting fruits, it's worth noting that the amount of heat that a Citrus tree receives can have a profound effect on the taste of the fruit. Growing your Citrus tree in a container will enable you to move the tree around during the year - bringing it outside to a warm, sunny spot in summer if required, and moving inside to a suitably heated position - but make sure that the plant is never allowed to completely dry out. Likewise, a waterlogged citrus tree will also fail to thrive!
