RHS hardiness zone H3/H4
Our plants are grown outside or hardened off before sale, and despite frequent gales and salt spray, they thrive as permanent specimens in our garden.
Tantalus Plant Nursery & Flower Farm is based in Kinsale, Co. Cork. We grow most of our stock from seed, divisions and cuttings, all propagated here in Kinsale. Our online retail store offers herbaceous perennials, biennials, annuals and shrubs for delivery either by courier or in-person pick up by appointment at the nursery.
We regularly add to our plant list as we find and trial new items. We only use our own photos (to avoid copyright issues) so it’s worth giving us a call if you’re looking for something that’s not yet been updated online.
Our location falls within RHS hardiness zone H3/H4, where we ensure that all our plants are hardened off or grown outside prior to being offered for sale. Despite frequent gales and salt spray, all our plants are grown successfully as permanent specimens in our own garden.
We supply cut flowers and foliage to a number of local retail outlets and hospitality clients. Individual customers who wish to purchase a market bouquet are welcome to call us to see what’s available. We can supply limited amounts of foliage as well. We can also grow to contract for future delivery.
If you like the idea of locally grown (zero air miles) plants and flowers which have been raised peat free, and without too much mollycoddling or too many artificial chemicals, give us a call or check out our plant list.
