The following lists give an impression of the plants we grow, we are not large enough to hold all varieties in stock at the same time. All of our plants are grown in 7cm pots, using peat based compost with the latest products for pest control and nutrition.

Many of the plants listed may at first glance appear as not hardy, however most of the plants that we grow have been trialled outside here in Lincolnshire. We are happy to share our knowledge with you. With the exception of Aeoniums, all plants are grown as hard as possible in either polythene or white netting tunnels. Plants grown in netting are later to break in the spring, but the advantages far out weigh the disadvantages of soft early spring growth. where possible all deciduous shrubs and perennials are grown in netting.

Availability of plants

We are happy to grow to order, and each year a higher percentage of plants are grown this way. If plants are forward ordered we will do our best to let you know when they will be available, and reserve them for you. Some plants are only grown to order because of shortage of stock material, or because they will not hold well in a 7cm pot. To ensure you get what you require please contact us. 

Photo Disc

We have produced a CD with photographs of many of the plants that we grow, this is available to our customers for their own use, a link to our web page would be appreciated should the pictures be used on line. We will reciprocate with a link to your site. All pictures remain property of Liners & Young Plants Ltd. Part of the reason for producing the disc is to show people what we grow, and is arranged in plant types such as shrubs, perennials,etc. The disc is in Picasa format and as such can be viewed by all.

We will confirm your order by email, as soon as we process it, normally within 48 hrs.  Please note that acceptance of order is not a guarantee of supply.

Plant names

Every effort is made to name plants correctly, but this cannot be guaranteed, we are always pleased to hear if you know better. Sollya may have had its name changed but most people know it as this, so we use it. Buddleia named after Mr Buddle, can someone please explain why there is a j in Buddleja but not in Forsythja. What grass is Stipa arundinacea, there at least 5 other names, in fact one could have a full time job updating this one. Give me a job swilling lager on the international plant nomenclature society panel. (this could explain Buddleja)

Hardiness of Plants

Many factors come in to play when deciding if a plant is hardy. We are lucky as we have free draining grade one silt soil, and drainage affects winter tolerance.  Our garden is sheltered, but still exposed to cold winds from the North and East. The climate here is affected by The Wash and North Sea. We do get frosts usually from early November, light at first followed by gradually colder temperatures, recently the coldest winter temperatures have been -9C. The initial frost followed by reducing temperatures is I believe why many of the temperate plants survive here, as they gradually aclimatise and become dormant, and the wood hardens allowing it to withstand much lower than expected temperatures. House walls are an excellent bonus, but we are running out fast of wall space. climatic change is very evident here, as 20  years ago one would struggle to over winter Ceanothus and Cordyline. Now Acacia, Callistemon, Mellaleuca,Myrtle, and Echiums thrive here. We only know this by putting the plants in and seeing what happens. Many of the plants are of hardier species, and I not claiming to be  part of the Australian Outback , or an Island off Madiera, but with a little care it is surprising what grows.

The photographs used are all taken in and around Holbeach in Lincolnshire
