► Please try our Product Search to find your Plant, it is a very powerful search engine, by entering heu you would find all plants beginning with or containing heu or Heu.

All our Perennial Plants are cultivated with a 24 month Vine Weavel control and 12 month Slow Release Fertiliser. We also mix our own compost at the nursery so we can mix the soil to suit the plants which includes a dry, medium and wet compost mix. This means you won't find a plant in our nursery which likes well-drained soil growing in pure peat soil which has little chance of making it through the winter.
This ensures our plants are sold to you in a healthy state giving them the best chance of healthy growth.

Southon Plants is a working nursery, that said we try to keep our access ways open and uncluttered for disabled access.

The owner is a true plantsman so you will find many unusual plants in the nursery some may not even be on our web site as we grow new varieties all through the year. The local garden centres source their unusual plants from us. Please come and look around, we are pleased to take most credit and debit cards.
