Swindon's Top Garden Centre

During autumn at John Toomers you'll find a fine selection of seasonal plants - especially shrubs, trees, conifers and roses.

Other seasonal plants include heathers and grasses, and of course our range of winter pansies and violas, with a complementary selection of patio plants and bulbs for tubs and baskets.

All with top advice too, plus everything else for your garden!

PLANT OF THE MONTH - COTINUS (AUTUMN COLOUR)

Cotinus are a very versatile shrub and one of the best for autumn colour. 

Cotinus 'Grace' has purplish-red leaves turning shades of scarlet in autumn.

Cotinus Royal Purple has deep purple foliage turning red in autumn.

Both of these shrubs provide a perfect contrast to other plants during the year, for example mixing with white or pink roses and campanulas or a hotter scheme with crocosmias and Dahlia Bishop of Llandaff.

Hard pruning in later winter will create fine new growth and keep them compact if necessary. 

We normally stock regular and semi-specimen sized plants.
