Garden Plants

Garden plants is the umbrella category covering perennials, shrubs, climbers, ground cover and seasonal bedding. The variable across the category is hardiness rating: H4 (hardy through normal British winter, the safe pick) versus H3 (needs protection in cold snaps) versus H1 (greenhouse only). RHS hardiness ratings are on most plant labels; a plant tagged H4 in our climate will survive without intervention, while H3 needs a fleece in January or wall-side shelter. Aosom UK, Cheap Furniture Warehouse and Cheaper-Online.co.uk between them cover £2-£1,455 across the breadth. Pot-grown plants typically arrive in 9cm or 1L pots; larger 3-5L pots take longer to settle but flower the same year. Bare-root plants arrive cheaper but plant only in dormant season (November-March). Deer-resistant and rabbit-resistant labels matter for rural gardens; bee-friendly labels help where pollinator support is the goal.
