Plant Directory

This is a compendium of plants for exotic gardens.  I don't suppose it will ever be completely finished, as there are always new plants to try; in the shorter term I will be chipping away at the text over the coming months so do bear with me and keep checking.

To facilitate the loading speed, I have split the list into separate groups - some of my favourite genera such as agaves have separate pages devoted to them.  Many of these plants I have grown for  years, some I've never seen before only heard about - the text will say which applies, but as my research continues I will keep this directory updated.  If there is one of your favourites I have missed out or got wrong please Email me to let me know ! 

Pictures

Where this camera symbol appears, follow the link to see a picture.  Some entries have a date in brackets at the end - this shows when I planted one out in my garden.
