A great success for gardeners and landscapes is to find a nursery that sells plants of excellent quality, accustomed to any vagaries of nature from childhood, the assortment of which would be unusual. Nursery "North Flora" - this is such luck.
Brief introduction to the nursery
The Northern Flora (Gatchina Nursery) was founded in 2002 near an old Finnish settlement - the village of Paritsa (from St. Petersburg - 50 kilometers, from Gatchina - 5). On an area of about 1 hectare, it was decided to grow plants in containers (with a closed root system). They should be suitable for cultivation in harsh conditions of low nutrient loamy soil and capricious weather.
The nursery does not resell alien plants, does not produce landscape work - only flowers and shrubs of amazing beauty are grown here, monitoring their quality and purity of the variety.
Every year the variety of green products expanded. Today it is over 1000 varieties of perennial flowers and more than 150 varieties of shrubs of ornamental species, which are grown and put up for sale only in containers from half a liter to 1.3 liters - perennial flowers, in containers up to 1.5 liters - ornamental shrubs.
The company works both with small wholesalers and companies performing landscape work, and with a retail buyer: plant lovers and collectors. Here, plant lovers are always welcome, ready to share the features of the agricultural technology of their green favorites, give the necessary advice.
Plant Assortment - Great Collection
Northern Flora specializes in the cultivation and sale of a wide variety of plants, the purpose of which is to decorate our gardens. The richest collection of groundcover plants is represented by two dozen varieties of awl-shaped phloxes, arabis, tenacious and saxifrage, stonecrops and thyme, which fill the whole district with an indescribable aroma.
Slender panicled flowers soar up elegant astilbe and loosestrife, New Zealand delphiniums and derbenics. A modest charm spreads over a collection of bells and geraniums. Perennial asters with multicolored eyes look curiously at the world, waiting for their customers. Ready to decorate the shady corners of the gardens of incense, bruners, hosts.
Northern Flora has gathered all this splendor for the curious look of plant lovers: just come, admire, choose, buy.
Pride of nursery - phlox
From early spring to late autumn, phloxes bloom in the nursery - a special pride of the nursery. Over 200 varieties of luxurious phlox! The open season of beauty is spread and table-bearing - in June, and panicled - in October.
Between the flowering of ground cover and panicled inflorescences, the spotted and Caroline phloxes, which are not very common in domestic gardens, flare up brightly. These beauties were presented to lovers of phlox by the flora of North America , where they grow in the wild: spotted - in moist places (in meadows and by the river), Caroline - in open forest glades to the sun.
Spotted and Carolina phloxes differ from panicled panic in domestic gardens with narrower and denser inflorescences, which give plants a special elegance and sophistication.
The agricultural technology of their cultivation is simple: to feed plentifully, to water in hot weather, to qualitatively mulch the soil.
Ornamental shrubs
Northern Flora is a true paradise for those who are looking for ornamental shrubs to decorate their gardens.
More than two dozen varieties of incredibly beautiful spirits, five elderberry varieties, drocks and broom plants, vesicles and Tatar honeysuckle with fragrant inflorescences ... Shrubs are amazing with a variety of opening flowers. Hydrangeas manifest themselves in all their splendor.
Accustomed to the domestic climate, weigels, keri, action and forzition are a godsend for those who seek to acquire something refined, unusual, but at the same time viable and not requiring excessive attention in terms of care.
The collection of willows is magnificent, there are more than 20 varieties here - for every taste, to any landscape design. In the nursery they are represented by bushes and trees. A native of Scotland - dwarf willow Boyda, dense pillows of creeping forms of willow, gray and Aurora, which is widespread in Finland, spherical dwarfs, tree-like shrubs, tall trees with various crown shapes. Admires the variety of leaf colors: green, gray, silver, variegated. What a reverent attitude to nature must be possessed in order to collect such species and varietal diversity in one place!
Where do the news come from?
The peculiarity of the Gatchina nursery is that around a novelty that has successfully proved itself in the Spartan conditions of harsh winters and hot summers, a varietal collection is gradually being assembled.
A significant part of the foundation of the collection is made up of representatives of domestic selection. At the same time, the flora of Northern Europe also plays a significant role in the formation of varietal and species diversity of plants collected in the nursery. Perennial flowers purchased in Europe pass the probationary period, getting used to the new place of residence. For each plant, conditions are selected in which they can prove themselves in full force. Then the plant multiplies, is cultivated and only after that it is put up for sale.
