As we are at Mallow Home and Garden Festival and Bloom in the Park from 23rd May until the 2nd June the nursery will be closed.
Mail ordered plants will be sent out from the 4th June on.
T. Rex is one of the very best architectural plants for your garden with huge ornamental foliage. Perfect with ferns for that prehistoric look garden! Is hardy enough in ' in southern and western areas, it may need protection in cooler areas, just mulch the root area with leaves/bark etc. leaving a small gap around the stem. It will grow back from the base if cut back by sharp frosts, otherwise will grow into a small tree. It certainly grows better in sheltered spots, being a natural woodlander type of plant, so a nice fertile and well drained soil will suit it perfectly.
It suckers readily, giving plenty of the dramatic foliage and can grow to about 4 metres in height. Deciduous. Supplied in a 11cm square pot, it will grow quickly from the spring on using a good quality compost and plant out in the late spring where it should grow very rapidly.
