When Armitage’s was established 175 years ago it was as a seed merchant, and so this is one aspect of our business that we are extremely proud of. We know the satisfaction gained watching a plant grow under your care from a small seed to a fully formed plant, and our extensive experience means we can advise you on just how to get the most out of your seed selections, as well as having all the necessary equipment for you to nurture your seeds.
We also stock an amazing variety of bulbs, and they can have a very attractive effect on your garden. Bulbs can survive through the least pleasant weather conditions, as the only time they peak their heads above the soil is when they flower, before disappearing under the soil to regenerate themselves for the next year. This means that bulbs are a type of plant that frequently survives frosts and cold winters, so if you live in a chilly area and your garden is suffering, bulbs could be the safest way to add colour to your garden
Planting your bulbs and seeds at the right time means that come spring your garden will be awash with colour. Creating a display of complimentary bulbs is great fun, and what better way to cheer yourself up when the weather’s starting to cool down than by envisaging next summer’s garden. Plant bulbs in clusters for maximum effect, and make sure the bulbs you choose are fresh and that you plant them deeply enough (4-6 inches below the soil is recommended). Why not ask the staff instore for some more hints and tips for how to get the best out of your bulb arrangements.
