Hill House Nursery - Landscove, Devon

This is my fave so far!


If you're off down there for a break, leave the luggage at home so that you have space in the car. Prices in person are cheaper than the web site too. I came back with a few, but as an example I got a nice sized Cantua buxifolia for £4.75.

Three others that I came back with...........

 

Mmmm, love that last one

 

It's a solid bloomer Louise, but the plant is tender.
This place would make a nice day out from where you are...........

 

it's one of my favourite nurseies too, good for unusual plants and only a few minutes off the A38.

Another good one is hardy exotics co uk down in the depths of Cornwall near penzance. I always try and call in there when i'm passing, though I do have to restrain myself a little.

 

Scillonian - I'll have to check that one out when we go down next year!

 

I agree - I think it is an excellent nursery - especially for unusual things.

Longk - please do tell us what the plants are.

Is the first Lobelia laxiflora?
I can't place the second. It looks like a cross between Agnistus australis and Iochroma cyanea.
And I assume the third is Salvia discolor.

 

Peter S - I can't believe that I didn't tag them!!

You are spot on with one and three, and so very close with number two - it is Iochroma grandiflora.

 

First time I saw Salvia discolor was at Edinburgh Botanic Garden such a fantastic striking colour

 

Had plants mail order from Hill House, big thumbs up from me.
