Hi guys,
I'm trying to source any of the following Australian Flowering plants, would anyone be able to recommend a Nursery/garden center/florist/wholesaler that would supply any of these?
Callistemon
Banksia
Grevillea
Manuka Flower
Villea
The only catch is they also have to be flowering, so I would be looking at a supplier that would grow in a hot house or would import from abroad.
Any help at all would be great!
thanks

Hi James. I would recommend Burncoose Nurseries in Cornwall for your plants. They have a huge range of plants from Australia and New Zealand.among the 4000+ that they stock.

Not sure what the logic behind this is? Why would the conditions they've been grown in affect their future flowering potential for you?jamesbrennan0+ wrote: ↑Wed Feb 12, 2020 1:41 pm The only catch is they also have to be flowering, so I would be looking at a supplier that would grow in a hot house or would import from abroad.

I expect they are wanted for immediate display so would need to be fooled into flowering at this time of year?

Hi James,
How soon do you want them, the first three were available at the spring show in Malvern last year. Not a million miles from you if you can wait that long. Pan Global which is even closer to you, just up the M5 would also be worth a look.

Don't Just sit there, plant something!
