Gardening Plants
Climbers
Climbing plants are great for adding high-rise beauty to our gardens, covering walls, fences, obelisks and pergolas in colourful flowers and foliage.
Clematis are the most popular climber and we stock a wide variety of early, mid and late flowering varieties.
Also available are beautifully scented Honeysuckles and heavenly Wisteria, as are Solanums, Hederas, Jasmines, Actinidia, Russian vines and Virginia Creeper.
Need some support? - grab some trellis as well.
Conifers & Heathers
To complement the conifer, heathers naturally associate well. Both can be grown in beds and borders and give constant value throughout the year.
We carry a great stock of conifers and heathers in a multitude of colours
Ground cover conifers will stop weeds in a border, gravel garden or bank and are easily maintained.
Conifers are perfect in a pot all year or can be used as a central focus surrounded by bedding plants. They add instant height and form and will still be there in Winter to surround with Winter bedding.
In your borders evergreen conifers and colourful heathers combine magically! Mix them in amongst shrubs, herbaceous plants and alpines to add structure and Winter form to your borders. Dwarf conifers are great for alpine gardens.
Shrubs
Shrubs are a must-have in any garden. They provide coverage and structure to your garden throughout the year.
Shrubs come in a hugely diverse range of different shapes, sizes and colours which is great for the gardener as you can easily introduce shape and structure to your garden. This great range of plants is present in virtually all gardens. Shrubs are so easy, they suppress weeds and they provide some amazing flowers and foliage too.

Alpines & Herbacious Perennials
Alpines are small and highly collectable plants, producing stunning little flowers in a range of vibrant hues. As they come from mountainous regions, many are very hardy.
Low growing alpines are ideal for front of borders or small spaces, providing ground cover and colour year after year. Excellent for banks and rockeries and look fab around a waterfall.
Many alpines will tolerate periods of drought, so are great for containers. Mix alpine grit with compost and top pots with grit for best growth.
Plant herbacious plants in borders to make your own colourful creation and sense of structure.
Aquatic Plants
Plants in and around ponds add visual interest, helping to make a pond appear more naturally blended in to it's surroundings. They encourage wildlife and can help keep water clear. Adding the right plants will greatly add to your enjoyment of the pond as well as visiting wildlife!
Aquatic and bog plants are an area of speciality and passion for us at Bow with us having one of the largest ranges in the South-West!
They are vital for adding shade in a pond, as well as using up nutrients in the water that would otherwise lead to a build up of green algae.
