Great luck for gardeners and landscapers is to find a nursery that sells plants of excellent quality, accustomed from "childhood" to any vagaries of nature, the assortment of which would be unusual. Nursery "Northern Flora" - this is such luck.

A brief introduction to the cattery

"Northern Flora" (Gatchina Nursery) was founded in 2002 near the old Finnish settlement - the village of Paritsy (from St. Petersburg - 50 kilometers, from Gatchina - 5). On an area of about 1 hectare, it was decided to grow plants in containers (with a closed root system). They must be suitable for growing in harsh conditions of nutrient-poor loamy soil and capricious weather.

The nursery does not resell other people's plants, does not perform landscaping - they only grow amazingly beautiful flowers and shrubs here, watching their quality and purity of the variety.

The variety of green products has been expanding every year. Today it is more than 1000 varieties of perennial flowers and more than 150 varieties of ornamental shrubs, which are grown and sold only in containers ranging from half a liter to 1.3 liters -perennial flowers, in containers up to 1.5 l - ornamental shrubs.

The company works both with small wholesalers and landscaping firms, and with a retail buyer: plant lovers and collectors. Plant lovers are always welcome here, ready to share the features of agricultural technology of their green pets, to give the necessary advice.

Assortment of plants - beautiful collection

"Northern Flora" specializes in the cultivation and sale of a wide variety of plants, the purpose of which is to decorate our gardens. The richest collection of ground cover plants is represented by two dozen varieties of awl-shaped phloxes, arabis, tenacious and saxifrage, stonecrop and thyme, which fill the entire district with an indescribable aroma.

Slender panicled flowers of elegant astilbes and loosestrife, New Zealand delphiniums and loosestrife soar up. Modest charm spills over the collection of bluebells and geraniums.

Pride of the nursery - phlox

From early spring to late autumn, phloxes bloom in the nursery - a special pride of the nursery. More than 200 varieties of luxurious phlox! Open the beauty season splayed and stoloniferous - in June, panicled - in October.

Between the flowering of ground cover and paniculate, inflorescences of spotted and Caroline phloxes, which are not very common in domestic gardens, flash brightly. These beauties were given to lovers of phlox by the flora of North America, where they grow in the wild: spotted - in wet places (in meadows and near the river), Carolina - in forest glades open to the sun.

Spotted and Carolina phloxes differ from the paniculate phlox habitual in domestic gardens in narrower and more dense inflorescences, which give the plants a special elegance and sophistication.

The farming technique for growing them is simple: fertilize abundantly, water in hot weather, and mulch the soil with high quality.

Ornamental Shrubs

Great collection of willows, there are more than 20 varieties - for every taste, for any landscape design. In the nursery, they are represented by bushes and trees. Native to Scotland - Boyd's dwarf willow,dense cushions of creeping forms of gray willow and Aurora, widespread in Finland, spherical dwarfs, tree-like shrubs, tall trees with various crown shapes. The variety of leaf colors delights: green, gray, silvery, variegated. What a reverent attitude to nature one must have in order to collect such species and varietal diversity in one place!

Where the novelties come from

A feature of the Gatchina nursery is that around one novelty, which successfully proved itself in the Spartan conditions of harsh winter and hot summer, a varietal collection is gradually assembled.

A significant part of the basis of the collection are representatives of domestic selection. At the same time, the flora of Northern Europe also plays a significant role in the formation of varietal and species diversity of plants collected in the nursery. Perennial flowers purchased in Europe undergo a trial period, getting used to a new place of residence. For each plant, conditions are selected in which they can express themselves in full force. The plant is then propagated, cultivated, and only then put up for sale.
