Hardiness

2025-01-25T16:35:12+01:00

The majority of our plants are either Hardy or Fully Hardy, a few are classed as Not Fully Hardy or Half Hardy; this means they can range from H3 (Half Hardy) or H4 to H5 (Hardy) or H6 to H7 (Fully Hardy) on the Royal Horticultural Society Hardiness Rating Scale.

H3 will tolerate temperatures from -5c to 1c. They are classed as hardy in mild coastal areas except in hard winters. They can be hardy elsewhere with wall shelter or a good microclimate. They should survive with artificial winter protection such as an unheated glass house.

H4 – H5 will tolerate temperatures from -5c to -15c and should survive a UK winter, except at high altitudes.

H6 – H7 will survive temperatures from -10c to -20c and can survive the severest winter.

If you suspect you have a plant in a potentially wet location, and you don’t want to move it, you can always apply a layer of bark chippings to your flower bed. This will help to protect the all-important crowns of your plants.

It is worth mentioning that all our plants have been grown in pots, outdoors with minimal protection from the winter elements in a rural and exposed site. So, they’re pretty tough.
