Kniphofia 'Royal Standard': we don’t know whether this old standard has ever been so good. Given an Award of Garden Merit by the RHS, and introduced by Prichard’s Nursery in Christchurch in 1921, it is still one of the best as it approaches its 100th anniversary. Plantsman Maurice Prichard of that family was manager at Blooms from 1963 to about 1980 and encouraged us to start showing at the Chelsea Flower Show around 1965. ... See MoreSee Less

This week we had a drone flying over the gardens to capture footage for Channel 5's The Great British Garden series, going out in the autumn or next spring. We thought you might like to be reminded of what the gardens look like from a bird’s eye view, so here is some previously filmed material with some lovely music (which as far as we know, birds don’t usually listen to!).

And now that we are open on a limited basis, if you can plan a visit soon, you won't be disappointed. Book online at https://bressingham.merlintickets.co.uk/product/ADOUTSIDEONLY ... See MoreSee Less

Autumn Moods, Fall Magic

Hydrangea arborescens ‘Annabelle’

Image: Hydrangea arborescens ‘Annabelle’ planted with Kniphofia ‘Tawny King’ We will be discussing new plants much more on our website, but the adage that ‘new is not necessarily better’ is certainly borne out by one of Adrian Bloom’s Best selections, Hydrangea arborescens ‘Annabelle’; discovered in the 1700s, yet only now becoming known and appreciated for the […]

Autumn Planting

Image: View of Adrian’s Wood Time was when gardeners did more than 50% of planting in the autumn – but that was before the container-grown revolution which started in, where else, but California in the late 1950s.
