Our Feedback
I’d just like to say how delighted I was with the 10 Lobelia Queen Victoria plants I bought.
My experiences of buying plants through mail-order companies has been regrettable! After each experience I vowed never to do it again... - but where needs must I took another chance and I'm so glad I did!
Because I was only paying £12.00 (plus delivery) for 10 plants, I have to say that I wasn’t exactly expecting a great deal in the way of quality... but how wrong was I! I could not believe how healthy and well established the plants were!
Many thanks,
Pete

Kiwis
Although Kiwi plants prefer warmer, sunnier positions in general, you will find that some kiwi plant varieties within our listings can actually tolerate extremely low temperatures, and so are suited to the often unpredictable British climate.
Those with limited space will find our self-fertile kiwi plants hugely practical too! Our kiwi fruit plants are supplied as pot-grown plants, and as climbers requiring support, can be grown in the same fashion as vines. More...
The Kiwi plant's fruit - also known as Chinese Gooseberries - was first discovered growing in southern China. But in the last century many new cultivars have been produced and subsequently acclimatised to growing conditions in Europe, and right here in the UK. Although growing under glass prevents any risk of damage to delicate plant blossom in spring, many varieties of kiwi plant will grow happily in a warm, sunny aspect in a domestic garden, favouring well-drained soils, but disliking acidic soil conditions.
As a climber, your Kiwi plant will require support as it grows, much in the same way as a grape vine is grown. Some of our Kiwi plant varieties can reach around eight metres in length, although this can be reduced with adequate and appropriate pruning.
We have endeavoured to provide a selection of Kiwi plants that offer the most delicious tasting Kiwi fruits, and as such you will find that our listings include both self-sterile and self-fertile kiwi plants for sale. With our self-sterile varieties, a male flowering plant is required to pollinate a complementary female flowering plant variety in order to produce fruit, with roughly one male Kiwi plant required for up to seven female Kiwi plants. But for those with less room to spare, our self-fertile varieties provide a practical space-saving solution as each plant is able to self-pollinate and produce fruits.
