Harvest

Harvest
  • Tart, juicy berries similar to cranberries
  • Packed with antioxidants and vitamins
  • Grows well in a container
  • Delicious in desserts and preserves

Packed with antioxidants and vitamins, lingonberries are delicious in pies, desserts and preserves. The tart, juicy berries are produced in late July on small spreading bushes, often with a second harvest in September. This acid-loving evergreen shrub is good for small spaces, growing well in containers filled with ericaceous compost, and with its attractive pale pink flowers in spring, it makes a lovely ornamental plant for a courtyard or patio too. The berries, which are similar to cranberries, can also be added to smoothies or eaten raw – just add sugar to taste.

Guide To Plant Sizes

Bare Root Plants: Several of our plants come supplied as bare roots. Despite appearances, they are alive and well. They have been previously grown in the ground and lifted when dormant throughout the winter months, so that when you receive them, they are strong, full of energy and ready to be planted out. This is our most economical way to buy many plant varieties including roses, strawberries, trees and bushes.


Seedlings: Seedlings are young plants that have grown from seeds and are still small, usually with just a few leaves. They are in the early stages of growth and are ready to be potted on or planted outdoors to continue developing.


Plug Plants: A wide range of our varieties come in plug size, including Strawberries, Tomatoes, Chillis, Peppers, Cucumbers and Courgettes. Grown in individual cells with a bio-degradable membrane that will break down in the soil, no need to remove before planting. Pot and grow on to form larger plants that can be planted later in the season. Protect from frost if necessary.


9cm Plants: Our 9cm plants are larger and much more established than our plug ranges, meaning they are ready to plant out straight away. These will establish quickly and produce flower and fruit much quicker than smaller plugs. Protect from frost if required.


13cm Plants: A substantial plant with many already developed flowers or even early onset of fruit if the season has been early. Great for filling in gaps or plating into patio containers.


Grafted Plants: Grafted plants are created by joining together two different plant varieties, typically by attaching the stem of one onto the root system of another. This process allows for desirable traits, such as disease resistance or better fruit production, to be combined into a single plant.
