(1)

Here at Hampshire carnivorous plants we have been growing carnivorous plants for some thirty five years and for the last fifteen of those years, exhibiting at Royal Horticultural Society shows around the country. During this time we have been awarded in excess of 100 R.H.S. gold medals (this includes 19 consecutive Chelsea 'Golds') attaining both the Witan and Anthony Huxley Awards in 1998. Since 2000 we have won 'Best in Show' awards at Gardening Scotland, Malvern Autumn , BBC Gardeners world live,RHS Tatton Park and National Amateur Gardening Shows.Our highest award to date was The Tudor Rose Award at the 2004, 2010 and 2011 Hampton Court Palace flower shows. We have recently moved to our new site in Horton heath where the plants are now housed in 1/4 acre venlo greenhouse, the plants get uninterrupted sunlight from sunrise to sunset which is great especially for the Sarracenia and venus fly traps which colour up exeptionally well during the growing season. We sell an extensive range of top quality carnivorous plants, books, composts and sundry items for both the 'beginner' and the keen enthusiast. We use an efficient courier service - when plants leave us they arrive with you the next day, and in most cases are sent ready potted. All of our plants are packed with great care, and can be sent out at all times of the year if you wish. Once your order is received we will acknowledge it by email, so be sure to include this information, together with a contact mobile telephone number, we can then advise you each step of the way, right through to dispatch and arrival date. Any special instructions, like say, where your parcel should be left should you not be at home, or any particular day you would like it to arrive can be accomodated. (With the exclusion of week-ends and Bank Holidays) If you would prefer to visit the nursery to pick your plants up yourself please call Matthew on 07703258296 or 01489860987 to arrange a day and time to come over, we have many varieties that are not on the webshop!

Collecting a few of the last remaining Venus flytrap seeds here at the nursery! 🌱

Just showing how easily the ripe black seeds come away from the dried seed pods.

Ideally, we should have collected these a while ago, as most have already dropped naturally. Once they’re ripe, they don’t hang around for long!

Collecting Sarracenia seed from our bog garden today, 15th October. 🌱

Knowing which pods to pick makes all the difference:

🟤 Brown, dry pods, just beginning to split at the seams, are ready to collect—catch them before the seed falls out!

🟢 Green, firm pods need more time. Leave them on the plant to finish ripening.

Check the actual seed capsule in the centre of the old flower. Brown petals alone don’t mean the seed is ready!

Collect on a dry day, and go by the condition of each pod rather than the date—they won’t all ripen together.

🌿 Sarracenia ‘Ruby’ ❤️

One of our own hybrids and a lovely addition to the collection. Definitely one worth growing!

It really comes into its own later in the season, producing beautiful, deep red pitchers that just get better as autumn approaches.

A cracking plant and one we’re really pleased with!
