Penlan Perennials opened in 1998 on an 14 acre smallholding in the Ceri Valley, near Newcastle Emlyn in West Wales.  In 2010 the nursery relocated to a new site, just a few miles from its original location, in North Pembrokeshire. Plants are 'hard grown' outside in open stock beds, or in a netted shade tunnel so are ultra hardy, used to heavy winter rainfall and sub-zero temperatures. Our plants are raised in an environmentally friendly way, using peat-free compost with no chemical sprays or artificial fertilisers, and the nursery is now fully organic. Recycled materials are used for packaging and these can be recycled again by you. The photo below is a typical (1.5 litre) mail order plant sent out by us with a 30cm (1ft) ruler for comparison.

Our main business is year round mail order although the nursery is open by prior appointment. In 2004 we developed one of the first online websites and in addition to supplying Botanical Gardens in several countries, the Royal Horticultural Society, the National Trust, Local Authorities, landscape and garden designers and countless keen individuals, we have also successfully exported plants to over 35 countries. We have also supplied plants for the Chelsea Flower Show, Hampton Court, Tatton, RHS Cardiff and Southport Flower Show to name but a few. It has become increasingly clear that gardening with and for nature is very important to many gardeners and we are particularly pleased with the positive and complimentary responses to our website and the quality of our plants. We are delighted to have been listed as a top 100 company in the WWF 'Green Guide to Wales' for our eco-friendly 'footprint'. Every plant displayed on this site is ready for immediate dispatch. If you have downloaded our catalogue or come through the RHS Plant Finder but cannot find a particular plant on the site then sorry but it's either sold out or it's not quite ready yet! Our site only shows plants available on any given day - that way there are no disappointments or promises we can't keep! We send out very occasional newsletters with site news, special offers and discounts which do not otherwise appear on the website. You can subscribe to this at any time and just as easily unsubscribe if you wish! See our privacy policy if you are concerned about how we use any information you give us.

Finally ~ We always try to maintain the quality of plants and standard of service we feel you have a right to expect. The person you speak to on the phone or who answers your email is the same person that grows your plants, nurtures them, does the paperwork and dispatches your order!
