Poyntzfield Herb Nursery does not currently have an on-line sales facility. One reason for this is that we like to communicate with our customers about orders, since some plants will only be available at certain times of the year.
Open and fill in the order form and send it to us. We will reply giving information about which plants and seeds are available at the moment, along with the delivered cost of your order. To make a card payment follow the link on the invoice or a bank transfer can be done with the details below using your surname as reference. This will reserve the plants and seeds for you. We will inform you of when your order is likely to be delivered If you are going to be away at any time, let us know and we will avoid those dates.

Cultural Notes:
Planting - as soon as possible after arrival, except in frosty or drought conditions in which case find a temporary situation. Carefully clean off the moss wrapping the roots, give the roots a good soak and keep watered in dry weather until established.
Most plants require a sunny site, a well drained moderately fertile soil, and shelter from winds.
Ensure that perennials do not encroach on each other.
Fork in a light dressing of organic compost every year.
Add lime if necessary. Most herbs prefer near neutral soil conditions. (pH 6.5 to 7.5)
To dry herbs, cut just before the plant is due to flower, in the morning just after the dew is away. Hang in loose bundles, or spread on hessian trays in a warm dark airy place.
Those plants that are suitable for the house, should be grown in a moderate compost, avoiding overwatering and overfeeding.

Seeds and plants of native species are almost all of local origin, but of course, propagated in the nursery.
