New Evergreen Plants at Morrisons 🍁🌱

Welcome everyone. Today's video takes us to a quick visit to Morrison's where we check out the brand new delivery of plants and they've got some really lovely evergreen shrubs in stock at the moment. So not only am I going to give you guys the prices but I'm going to give you a care guide to go with it as well. So without further ado let's get into today's video. This is my local store in Cheadle in Staffordshire. So let's jump right in. So right here we have a Fertinia crossfraseri. So this is also known as a red robin. It is grown for its beautiful red foliage in the spring. It's lovely to see them in stock and they do get to a rather large shrub. They're quite good for hedgerows and things like that. £10, perhaps a touch expensive compared to some stores that I've seen at the moment but it's nice to see some evergreen stock in at the moment. So next one is viburnum variety called Lisa Rose. These get absolutely massive so just bear that in mind. Again it's another lovely evergreen shrub. It has a little berry-like flower and it opens up to a white flower in spring but it may flower a little bit sooner than that if we have a mild autumn. Next evergreen shrub then. So this is a skimmy rubella. This requires an ericaceous compost and it does rather well in a pot and in the ground. It does get to a really decent size as well but it's reasonably slow growing. It does take a few years in order to put the roots down and get growing in your garden but as mentioned it does need an ericaceous compost which means it's a lime-free soil but don't let that put you off as again it opens up these berry-like flowers in spring and it's a lovely white almost fragrance-like. So next one up we've got nadinia. Now I've done a little bit of research on these and these can be a little bit of a thug in your garden. They tend to take over a little bit and in certain parts of the US they can actually be classed as invasive so just bear that in mind. Although it's a lovely evergreen shrub they can take over when they start to get big and these guys can get absolutely massive so just bear that in mind. There's actually three different varieties in stockett morrisons at the moment from the lime green to the red what we just looked at and then this beautiful variegated variety here as well. If you do like the look of it and you're after some winter colour I'd highly recommend this but maybe think about popping it in a pot or maybe some sort of root barrier so it doesn't get too big. I apologise for the sunlight we've got low light at the moment haven't we of an evening. Next one then we've got rhododendrons. Now these aren't too bad of a price they're absolutely a brilliant evergreen for your garden and again these require an ericaceous compost exactly the same as the skimmier which means it needs a lime freeze soil. Again it does well in a pot or in the ground I just recommend you dig a bigger hole than you need and you backfill it with some ericaceous compost normally flowers in the spring as well. So moving on we'll have a quick look at the annuals so we've got some lovely sicklemen in stock £3.50 for four plants it's probably the going rate to be honest. Now these are a knot and hardy variety so they just flower through the autumn and they're pretty much done. Then we've got some basket pots just there as well so it's really interesting to see some primroses in already I can only vouch for these being more of a like an autumn bedding plant if you like whereas they tend to not to like the wet and don't do very well over winter but these chrysanthemums are quite the opposite they'll do quite well they are £6 for a tray and they look fabulous over the autumn period. There we have it I hope you enjoyed today's quick video if you got something from it then please do give it a big thumbs up it really does help me out drop a comment down below as it helps share it out to others who love gardening just like we do until tomorrow I will see you in the garden you take care.
