A little about us. . .We've been running Mill Cottage Plants for over 20 years, focusing our attention on the sometimes overlooked species of Hydrangea; in particular Hydrangea serrata, widely cultivated in Japan. Gradually we are acquiring more and different named forms of these, concentrating on the Japanese varieties.  Hydrangea serrata 'Kiyosumi' We don't neglect the familiar Hydrangea macrophylla however. Among this numerous and diverse species we concentrate on those that are a little special, including the Japanese forms, the 'Teller' hybrid lacecaps, and the dwarf form Hydrangea macrophylla 'Pia' that is perfect for a large container.  'Other species are also well represented: H. paniculata - H.aspera - H. involucrata, H. quercifolia - H. arborescens, and the climbing evergreen, H. seemanii. and each season we will be introducing new forms to add to the temptation.  We are also increasingly concentrating on the latest hybrids and new forms of Epimedium from China. Each year we are finding new, beautiful introductions and hybrids to tempt you - take a look!  Epimedium 'Emei Shan' The perennials and ferns we stock are mostly for shade and/or damp conditions that would complement the hydrangeas in your garden.    Aconitum 'Royal Flush' Galanthus 'Hill Poe' Rodgersia 'La Blanche' The plants we supply are well-grown and ready to plant out in the garden. We don't sell rooted cuttings, or plug plants. Our carriers (Interlink Express) have proven reliable and deliver to most of the UK mainland within 24 hours of despatch. Because we propagate the plants ourselves we do of course run out, especially of the more popular varieties. At present we are rapidly selling out of some of our special Hydrangea serrata, and many other hydrangeas We anticipate/hope many more hydrangeas will be available next June. Hydrangeas ordered now will be sent out in strict rotation when they are ready to leave home. Our garden and nursery is open to visitors by arrangement from May to September.  Garden visitors enjoying tea and cakes on a summer evening And then there's Sally's articles on hydrangeas, and finding out about the acidity or alkalinity of your soil. There will also be details of forthcoming events, so don't forget to bookmark us, and return regularly.
