Imported specimen plants
Even the largest order for specimen plants can be turned around in days and we make deliveries from our garden centre to every part of the UK and Eire every day. We offer fixed delivery dates and schedules on wholesale plant orders.
Our special lifting and delivery systems for imported specimen plants are designed to reduce downtime on site and cut out the risk of error. For example, all imported specimen plants are clearly labelled by batch and bed number.
High quality, well rooted specimen plants grown in accordance with the National Plant Specification are delivered in specially designed specimen plant stillages to eliminate the risk of damage. Specimen plant deliveries are made by a dedicated partner haulage company in curtain sided vehicles which reduces the risk of the specimen plants drying out.
Johnsons’ imported specimen plants
Johnsons of Whixley sells more speciment plants into the UK amenity market than any other grower. Our plant centre stands for fast quotations and competitive pricing for imported speciment plants from a dedicated sales team with a thorough knowledge of the industry. Thanks to one of the most highly developed imported specimen plant sourcing systems of any nursery, if we don't have the imported specimen plant you need in stock we almost always know someone who has. More and more landscape architects are specifying imported specimen plants but Johnsons of Whixley is one of the few growers in the UK to grow them on any scale.
We now produce over 150,000 specimen plants every year. That’s 50% more than we did a decade ago. All of our imported specimen plants are perfectly suited to the UK landscape and climate. Our 5 and 15 Litre ranges offer more imported specimen plant for every pound spent, and our 45 Litre spot specimen plants can transform any scheme.
