Devon-grown plants for Devon gardens

A great garden starts with great plants — and at Bow, we take quality seriously. Our plants are sourced from local Devon growers wherever possible, which means they're already acclimatised to our weather and soil, and better placed to thrive in your garden. If we don't have what you're looking for, we'll normally be able to source it for you.

From cottage-garden classics and architectural statement plants to easy-going ground cover and productive fruit and veg, our plant range is one of the most comprehensive in the area. And if you're ever not sure what to choose, our nursery team are always happy to help — no question is too small.

Seasonal Featured Plants

Cyclamen

A charming, long-flowering perennial that brings welcome colour to the garden. Cyclamen thrive in partial to dappled shade and produce delicate, swept-back flowers above beautifully patterned foliage. Perfect for borders, beneath trees and shrubs, or in containers, and look wonderful planted in natural drifts.

Chrysanthemum

A colourful, long-flowering perennial that brings a vibrant display to the garden. Chrysanthemums thrive in a sunny spot and produce masses of cheerful blooms from late summer into autumn. Perfect for borders and containers, and combine beautifully with grasses and other late-season favourites.

Pansy

A cheerful, easy-to-grow favourite that brings instant colour to the garden. Pansies thrive in sun to partial shade and produce an abundance of bright, characterful blooms over a long season. Perfect for containers, window boxes and borders, and ideal for adding a splash of colour through the cooler months.

Viola

A hardy, cheerful favourite that brings welcome colour through the cooler months. Violas thrive in sun to partial shade and produce masses of delicate blooms from autumn into spring. Perfect for containers, window boxes and borders, and ideal for brightening the garden when little else is in flower.

Cottage gardens are our speciality and our passion. The tumbling, informal style that Devon gardens do so beautifully — climbers scrambling over old stone walls, fragrant perennials jostling for space, roses and lavender and alliums all mixed together. We have everything you need to create your own, whatever the size of your space.

Start with a rich, peat-free compost, choose your key structure plants first (a climbing rose, perhaps, or a vigorous clematis), then fill in with long-flowering perennials like salvias, geraniums, and penstemon. Come and talk to us — we love this stuff.
