Around the Nursery

Tile Barn is a small family business run from the home of it's founders, Peter & Liz Moore. It takes its name from the barn adjacent to the traditional Kent Oast House in which they live.

How we grow our plants

At Tile Barn we have a large collection of specimen stock plants that are used for breeding purposes and to provide the seed from which all the plants sold at the nursery are grown. All our sales plants are propagated at the nursery, we do not buy in sales stock.
Peter Moore has raised a number of named cultivars, many of which have set the standard for enthusiastic growers and for the specialist show bench. Most of these cultivars are available on the current sales list, though some are only produced in very limited quantities and are not available every year. New named cultivars with exciting leaf forms have been developed and are being bulked up ready for release over the next few seasons

What you get

All Cyclamen are raised from seed from our own stock plants at Tile Barn Nursery and grown on in 3 inch pots ready for sale as shown here. Almost all plants will have flowered for one or two seasons prior to reaching sale size. All plants despatched outside the United Kingdom are removed from their pots, whilst those ordering for delivery within the U.K. have the choice of receiving plants in pots, though of course the carriage (shipping) costs are higher.

So that you can see what you will receive, we have assembled a series of pictures of each packing process from selected plant to completed order. Please note that tuber sizes can vary, not least from species to species.
