Marshwood Gardens have been suppling quality plants now for 30 years throughout New Zealand. As holders of one of New Zealands National Collections of Salvia it is natural to find a huge selection of these in our on-line catalogue. We also have private collections of Nepeta, Penstemon, Viola, Euphorbia, Geranium. Our plants are open grown and exposed to all the elements nature can manage. If plants can not survive with us outside we do not have time to fuss over them!
