Aquatics like the water violet, shallow-water marginal plants like flowering rushes, bog plants like primulas - you'll often find numerous varieties of a single species, as well as some very rare specimens. There are over eighty different types of water lily alone.

Many of these plants, including unusual varieties, are propagated by Longstock Park Nursery, so that visitors can enjoy them in their own gardens.

The nursery is also home to the NCCPG National Collection of Buddleia - there are over 100 different varieties, many of which are displayed for sale in the nursery's beds. If you would like to look round the collection when you visit, just ask our staff for directions. We can propagate some of the rare and tender varieties to order. The nursery has a vast selection of plants, including a wide choice of aquatic and water-loving species. And, while you're deciding which plants to take home as a souvenir of your visit, you can enjoy a cup of tea or coffee in the nursery's tea room.
