Plants
The right plant begins with the right setting.
Plant selection connects the intended setting with the characteristics of the material. FGH SEEDS includes plants in its wholesale activity. Whether your requirement concerns one type or a broader planting brief, define the item and its size before comparing proposals.
Prepare a plants inquiry
What defines
your requirement?
Use these considerations to distinguish the material you need and compare descriptions on consistent terms.
Botanical identity
Record the botanical or variety name where available. A precise name helps distinguish plants with similar appearances and different growth habits.
Size & form
Specify the size and presentation you need. Height, development stage and container details describe different aspects of the material and can be recorded separately.
Growing setting
Light, soil and water conditions influence plant selection. Assess the actual site and seek local horticultural advice for species-specific suitability.
Quantity & timing
List quantities by item and identify the intended date. Availability, substitutions and any transport or handling arrangement must be agreed for the particular requirement.
Think beyond the first impression.
A useful plant specification accounts for both the material at purchase and the place where it will grow. Matching a name and size is a purchasing decision; evaluating the growing site is a separate horticultural decision. An agreed description should distinguish the supplied size from the mature size anticipated in the planting design.
