With the clocks going back and the shortening days of late autumn, now’s the time to prepare the garden for winter. After clearing leaves and tidying up beds and borders, now is a good time to think about any gaps you may want to fill with plants or garden features. Longacres has plenty to inspire you over the next month – trees, shrubs, bulbs and bedding plants for winter and early spring colour are still available.

Autumn is the perfect time to prepare the ground and plant a hedge. We have a range of hedging plants in store and online. Here’s a quick guide to our top 5 favourite plants and their best features.

Autumn/winter flowering houseplants: Here are our care guides for the most popular indoor flowering plants for this time of the year – both are top sellers for their long flowering and ease of care in cool conditions.

Amaryllis bulbs: (the correct name for this bulb is actually Hippeastrum) these large indoor bulbs with very showy flowers, are planted between October and January and flower around 6-8 weeks later.
