Summer Bedding Plants – Poplar Nurseries – Garden Centre – Marks Tey, Colchester, Essex

At Poplar Nurseries we are in an enviable position of having a single covered structure available for the housing and displaying of seasonal bedding.

Whilst the Plant Department does allow some of this space to be used for associated hanging basket products, over seven hundred square metres is still set aside for seasonal bedding plants.

Spring is when the Bedding House really comes into its own. Over forty varieties of Fuchsia, benches of Geraniums bursting with colour, a medley of Marigolds, parades of Petunias and more Busy Lizzies than anyone knows what to do with, not to mention the hundred or so other varieties of basket plants that are stocked.

A Small Selection Of Our Summer Bedding Plants. We have far too many to list them all! Not available to purchase online. Please contact us before making your journey to check stock availability.
