The Contemporary Cottage Garden Collection
Cottage Garden Plants
- The classic Cottage Garden look, beloved since Victorian times, has had a contemporary reboot. Influenced by sustainable gardening and nostalgic trends, our grower’s flower-packed collection is curated from a selection of UK grown, pollinator friendly and drought resistant perennial plants, combined with long-blooming favourites in vintage colour tones.
- You’ll get a mix of contemporary cottage garden plants which may include: geums, aquilegia, delphiniums, lupins, digitalis, salvia, nepeta, achillea, eryngium, carex, sedum, scabiosa and astrantia.
- Our growers will select the best combination of plants to ensure a natural, varied and abundant look for your garden. These will vary according to the season.
- Everything you need to create a contemporary cottage garden border (or several containers) filled with colour, flowers, foliage and texture. Plant once and you're done - these are low maintenance, fully hardy plants that are easy to grow and will be with you for the foreseeable!
- Your plants will naturalise and self seed, coming back bigger and better every year and flowering all the way from spring into autumn.
