DescriptionWe understand how important your furry friends are, which is why we’ve created a collection of beautiful perennial plants that are kind for pets. Whether you have playful pups or curious cats, you can enjoy the beauty of your outdoor space without worry. Our pet-friendly perennials include low-maintenance varieties that thrive year after year. From fragrant Nepeta (catmint) to charming Campanula, each plant is chosen for its non-toxic properties, ensuring your pets can explore your garden safely. Our experts carefully curate your collection to ensure we avoid varieties from the latest HTA Potentially Harmful Plants list. At Golden Valley Plants our focus is growing the best quality perennial plants, all of which are produced at our Herefordshire nursery. When it comes to selecting the perfect plants for a Pet Friendly setting we have a plethora to choose from, all of which are fully established and ready to plant out in your garden. Every order is hand-picked by our team of horticulturalists who will select a good mix of the best looking plants at that time. We call this growers choice, which enables us to utilise our plant grower’s knowledge to select the most suitable range from the collection. Please note that the selection chosen will vary throughout the seasons to ensure you are always provided with a point of interest and our healthiest plants that are perfectly garden-ready. Planting Conditions To plant your Perennial Collection, prepare well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Ensure the location receives 4-6 hours of sunlight daily. Dig holes twice as wide as the root balls, placing each plant at the same depth as in its container. Space them 12-18 inches apart for proper air circulation. Water thoroughly after planting. This collection offers a diverse array of perennial varieties chosen for their resilience, vibrant blooms, and long-lasting nature. With careful selection and proper care, these perennials bring colour, texture, and charm to your garden throughout the seasons. Watering & Feeding We advise watering your Perennial Collection consistently, especially during dry spells and through establishment in your garden, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Apply a balanced fertiliser in early Spring to provide essential nutrients for robust growth and prolific flowering. We suggest avoiding over-fertilisation, as it may lead to leggy growth. Mulch around the plants helps to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. With proper watering and feeding, your collection will thrive, rewarding you with a profusion of colourful blooms and lush foliage throughout the growing season. General Care Providing quality care for plants within your Perennial Collection entails giving tailored attention to each plant's specific needs. Regular deadheading and pruning are essential to encourage continuous blooming and maintain the overall health and appearance of the plants within the collection. Keep an eye out for any signs of pests or diseases and address them promptly using appropriate methods. Since individual plants may have unique requirements, such as soil preferences or pruning techniques, it's crucial to familiarise yourself with each species' specific care instructions to ensure they thrive and contribute to the overall health and vigour within your garden.
