The 'Active List' is the online version of our current paper catalogue. It contains a large selection of rare bulbs, corms, rhizomes and tubers for ordering now.
Orders are only accepted from the active list, as this is our current stock.
The content of our active list may change according to the seasons. Flowering is in Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer.
We leave the 'inactive' list accessible online for you to see our full range. However the inactive list is not available for shopping or purchases. You can see what we have in it by using our 'search facility'. Plants in our inactive list will always display as "out of stock", reflecting seasonal availability. We cannot accept orders for such plants as we do not have them available for sale.
We have downloads available for you below in the most popular formats. There is no charge for these downloads.
Due to size restrictions and bandwidth costs they do not contain the coloured illustrations which are included in the printed version.
The downloads are updated at monthly intervals to take account of stocks which sell out. New additions in the form of a supplement are listed in September, though such additions are of course, available here on the website as we know of them.
Our latest online offerings are always up to date and available here on the website.
In addition we produce a paper catalogue twice a year in JANUARY and JUNE.
The catalogues are also available for download (free) once they are ready, however their content, and more, is available on the website already.
If you buy a paper copy of our current list you get a free copy of our next list when it is issued.
The two lists contain very different collections of plants and you really need the pair (spring and autumn), to see our full range.
You can purchase catalogues online (below), by phone or fax using your card or by post using card or cheque.
The prices quoted are for a copy of our current list plus a FREE copy of our next list when it is issued.
Publication is in June and January each year, so you will get one sent now, and a further free one sent when the second one is issued.
We cannot give the lists away for free as production costs and postage are high but we charge only to cover part of the cost of printing and postage.
The part of the site where you can see any current discount vouchers which are available.
This is also where you can buy an attractive coloured gift card/voucher.
Lower down the page we also offer 'make a payment'. This are for when you simply wish to send us a payment.
You may have ordered but not had your card handy, and you now wish to pay online. (14 day timeout still applies to unpaid orders)
This is also the place to pay for a forgotten CITES certificate, an unfinished order or pay the difference when an incorrect postal rate has been chosen.
We do not issue a printed wholesale list.
We do offer surplus or well-stocked retail items in this section, from time to time. These are available to all customers.
For nurseries, landscapers and local authorities we are happy to supply or quote for specific plants that you are interested in obtaining wholesale. Do please enquire for an exact quotation, without obligation. Can we again stress however that there is no wholesale list to peruse, we deal on a personal basis for these quotes, quoting for your exact needs.
As a very approximate guide we offer wholesale discounts of around 30% (depending on the species and availability).
Wholesale terms are available ONLY for prepaid orders which exceed £500 (to enable you to calculate, this £500 is based on the retail price and before discounts are applied) and 10 or more of each species or kind.
