Tesselaar mail order plants catalogueTesselaar Winter Catalogue

As the colours of Spring and Summer fade for another year and winter slowly brings its chill to the air, it is time to sit down in a comfy chair, with a nice cup of tea and a view of the garden. Relax, open the catalogue and start planning for this year's colour display!

Many people think that winter is a time of hibernation for gardeners, a time to take stock and potter indoors. But I’m sure you know better, a garden is a pleasure to tend and a gardener is never out of it for long. The autumn leaves need to be raked onto that delectable compost pile. With the weeds at bay it is an excellent time of year to eradicate them for good. There is a need to prepare for future battles by cleaning and sharpening your tools. And of course all that pruning of the various trees and shrubs, including roses. A gardener’s work is never done!

One of the most important tasks for a gardener over winter is to plan next year’s display. Whether it is fragrance or colour you are after we know there is something inside this catalogue just right for you. Below you will find the "Cream of the Crop" to get your browsing (or tastebuds) started.

Happy gardening,

The Tesselaar family and Staff.

This new Lilium is a real dazzler, producing huge flowers with both fragrance and flair.

With some love and care in the garden, the stems of ‘Prince Promise’, at full maturity, will bear 5-6 blooms. An absolute delight in the garden.
