Perennials and Salvias
available by mail order all-year-round
Welcome to Seaflowers Nursery!  If you are looking for unique plants sent direct to your door then you've come to the right place. Plants are sent all over New Zealand from my nursery based in Whanganui.

After around 30 years of growing all sorts of different plants I established my nursery in 2014, initially from my home on the Thames Coast, and more recently in Whanganui. The plants I grow are mostly perennials, with an emphasis on rare and unusual or hard-to-find species and cultivars. Salvias are a favourite of mine - with so many to choose from there is one for almost every spot in the garden, and of course they are loved by bees and other insects too.  I have a large collection which I am always adding to, and am just beginning to dabble in a little plant breeding of my own, in the hope of breeding some new varieties suitable for New Zealand climates.  I also sell a variety of special bulbs in mid-late summer, many of which are collectors items, plus in spring and early summer I sell hard-to-find annuals in large, re-useable punnets, to use as fillers in gardens. Many of these are suitable for pollinators as well. (Please note that the nursery is mail order only and not open to the public sorry). 

My plants are grown from seed, cuttings, or by division, and are sent to you well-grown and ready to put in the garden. Potted plants are sent by courier, snugly packed in their cartons all over New Zealand.  Pot sizes are listed on each variety on my online shop (see the Perennials page). Bulbs are sent when dormant, packaged dry, in paper bags.
