Growing plants that are a 'little difficult' to find or to grow is the sign of the true gardener, tropical plants that just shouldn't grow in our climate, or hard to find species tulips and narcissus are all on the list of 'can do' for the plant collector. Species such as Arisaema sikokianum (picture right) is rarely found in nurseries.
Rare and Unusual Plants can be found at specialist rare plant nurseries as well as plant fairs. The Botanical Society of the British Isles maintains a Rare Plant Register that lists nationally rare plants.
Orchid species including Cypripedium calceolus is a lady's-slipper orchid are almost extinct in the wild, other plants are just difficult to find becuase they are not viable commercially, we list some of the very best rare plant nurseries in the UK |

Rare Plants in the UK
|
|
Many harde to find and unusual plants can make a great feature in the garden or conservatory.
Some plants are hard to find in a particular country, are just few in numbers, or are difficult to cultivate, however not all rare plants are difficult to grow, while some others require a degree of care.
Plant Collectors and those with an interest in rare plants or the unusual will find a great selection of interesting, beautiful and 'strange' plants at the nurseries listed on this page.
As for us, we like to grow arisaema, fritillarias and species daffodilis... usually form seed, or from plant fairs, sometimes we are successful sometimes not, but it's a challenge and a lot more interesting than watching the stock market......
