Plant of the week

Chrysanthemum

Looking for a pop of late summer colour? Chrysanthemums are the perfect plant to add to your garden now when many other flowers are fading. They will bloom all the way through September and October, especially if you keep up with the deadheading. Easy to grow and low maintenance, chrysanthemums enjoy a warm, sheltered spot with fertile, well-drained soil. Good planting companions include other autumn-flowering border plants such as salvias, sedums and asters.

Peat Policy

We stock a wide range of composts including a growing selection of peat-free alternatives. Barton Grange Garden Centre shares the concerns of gardeners and the gardening industry about the effects of global peat extraction on wildlife habitats and the wider environment. Consequently, we fully endorse the research and work being done to find viable alternatives.

Plant Policy

Barton Grange makes a conscious effort to carefully source all foreign imported plants from Xylella fastidiosa disease-free areas. We have signed and pledged our agreement to not knowingly purchase any host plants originating from regions where the disease Xylella is known to exist. Our suppliers are thoroughly vetted to ensure compliance with these standards.
