We have been growing our plants with great passion since 1976. We are therefore proud that the third generation is now at the helm of our family business. All plants and trees we supply come either directly from our own nursery or from fellow nurseries that work in partnership with Heijnen. Through our close cooperation with various skilled growers, plant importers and other professionals, we guarantee products that are as fresh and high quality as possible. What this means for you is healthy and beautiful plants and trees straight from the nursery at competitive prices.

Height at time of delivery (cm)
Height at time of delivery (cm)

'Height without root ball' refers to the measurement of a plant or tree where the height is measured without taking into account the underlying root ball of roots and soil normally present when the plant is moved. When measuring height without root ball, only the visible part of the plant above ground, such as the trunk/stem, branches and leaves, is taken into account, while the root ball that is normally below ground is excluded from the measurement.

Mature height (cm)

Mature height (cm)

The mature height of a plant is the height the plant reaches when it is mature. It is also called the maximum height. This height is given in centimetres and refers to the height of the visible part of the plant above the ground. In other words, the trunk/stem, branches and leaves. The root ball that is (normally) below the ground is excluded from this measurement. Location and soil type also affect mature plant height.

Genus
Show more
Genus

The genus is a taxonomic classification that includes several closely related species. Genus is a rank that is above the 'species' rank. The spelling of the genus name always includes one scientific name beginning with a capital letter. A genus cannot be ordered as a product; a species or variety can be ordered.

Positioning
Positioning

By positioning, we mean the number of hours of sunlight at the spot where the plants are to be placed. There are three categories for this, namely:

  • Sun - more than 4 hours of sun per day
  • Partial shade - up to 4 hours of sun per day
  • Shade - less than 2 hours of sun per day

The type of soil is of minor importance in most cases, unless otherwise stated for the product.

Growth habit
Growth habit

Growth habit is the way in which the plant grows and what general shape the plant has. Roughly speaking, we can divide our plants into the following categories:

  • Bushy spreading growth habit - in this growth habit, the plant grows bushy in both height and width.
  • Climbing growth habit - as the name suggests, a climbing plant. Suitable for positioning against a wall, fence or pergola.
  • Creeping wide-spreading growth habit - relatively low-growing and ground-covering plants that spread considerably, especially in width.
  • Upright growth habit - these plants grow mostly straight up and with virtually no overhang.
  • Upright to bushy growth habit - these plants tend to grow straight up and, especially as they grow taller, may overhang slightly.
  • Clump-forming and upright growth habit - these plants form a single clump from which stems, leaves and flowers grow. The taller the plant, the more the leaves and stems may overhang.
  • Clump-forming growth habit - these plants form a single clump and remain somewhat more compact in shape
  • Sod-forming growth habit - these plants form a dense carpet. Stems and leaves grow very closely together. You could compare this to the growth habit of a lawn.

Application
Show more
Application

By 'application' we mean how the planting can be used in the garden. In this, we distinguish between the possible applications below:

Border: also called a bed, this is a strip of ground (part of the garden) intended for planting. Due to the construction of paths, terraces and lawn, a garden often consists of multiple borders:

  • Group planting: plants that are at their best when placed together in small or large groups and can be easily combined with other garden plants if desired.
  • Edge planting: mostly low-growing plants that are suitable for use at the edge of borders and so provide a nice progression from low to tall plants.
  • Underplanting: mostly shade-loving plants that can be planted under large shrubs and trees.

Solitary: a plant (usually a larger shrub) that does best when planted alone and not with several of the same variety together. A solitary plant is a real eye-catcher and also provides 'body' to the garden. You place a solitary plant in a border in combination with (relatively) low-growing plants, for example.

Pot: a plant that grows well in a pot.

Planter: plants that are perfect for use in planters.

Hedge: plants that grow particularly tall and branch nicely through pruning. This makes them ideal for use as a natural screen (hedge). We offer hedge plants for both low and tall hedges.

Pergola: plants that are ideal for planting and growing against a pergola.

Fence: plants that can be grown against a fence or placed in front of a fence.

Wall: plants that can be grown against a wall or placed in front of a wall.

Trellis: plants that can be grown in a trellis to create more greenery and privacy in the garden.

Slope: plants that are ideal for planting on a slope.

Winter hardiness

A winter hardiness zone, also known as a USDA zone, is a classification system used to categorise climatic conditions based on winter temperatures (susceptibility to frost). These zones range from 1a (coldest) to 13b (mildest). These winter hardiness zones can help you find the right plants and trees that are sufficiently hardy for your region.

The winter temperatures the plant or tree can withstand is noted with each product. See the overview of winter hardiness zones here:

What are grasses with purple flowers?

Purple flowering ornamental grasses are a stunning addition to any garden. These grasses, such as Panicum, Pennisetum, and Miscanthus, bring a touch of elegance with their violet and lavender hues. Often referred to as deep purple feature grasses or rich purple grasses, they are perfect for creating purple-flowering gardens and mauve-coloured borders. These grasses are not only beautiful but also versatile. They can be used in purple-flowering borders or gardens with purple colour accents. Their light purple and deep purple tones add depth and interest to any outdoor space. Purple ornamental grasses for wildlife gardens are particularly popular, as they attract various insects and birds. Grasses with purple hues, like Eragrostis and Melinis, can transform a garden into a vibrant and lively space. Consider adding flowering ornamental grasses to enhance the beauty of your garden. Whether you prefer lilac, plum, or amethyst shades, these grasses offer a wide range of options to suit any garden style.

Characteristics of deep purple ornamental varieties

Purple flowering ornamental grasses are a stunning addition to any garden. These grasses grow in clumps, spreading gracefully to create a soft, flowing appearance. They can reach a width of up to 60 cm, making them ideal for filling spaces in borders or as a focal point in a garden. The development of these grasses begins in early spring when new shoots emerge. By summer, they reach their full height, often between 60 cm and 1.2 metres. The growth is influenced by factors like soil quality, sunlight, and regular watering. These grasses typically bloom from late summer to early autumn. The flowering period can vary depending on the climate, with warmer temperatures encouraging earlier blooms. Proper care, such as fertilising and pruning, can also impact the timing and duration of flowering. The blooms of purple flowering ornamental grasses come in various shades, including lavender, lilac, and deep purple. The specific colour can depend on the variety and growing conditions, such as soil pH and sunlight exposure. While not all purple flowering grasses are known for their scent, some varieties may offer a subtle fragrance. This can be enhanced by the presence of other aromatic plants in the garden, contributing to biodiversity. At maturity, these grasses can reach impressive heights, adding vertical interest to gardens with purple colour accents. Their height and spread make them perfect for creating layered effects in purple-flowering borders or gardens with purple hues.

Purple flowering ornamental grasses are a stunning addition to any garden. The leaves of these grasses can vary in shape, often being long and slender, with a rich purple hue that adds depth to garden borders. The leaf structure is typically smooth, but some varieties may have a slight texture. These grasses usually retain their leaves throughout the winter, providing year-round interest. However, in colder climates, some may lose their leaves, depending on the species and environmental conditions.

When it comes to winter hardiness, purple flowering ornamental grasses are generally resilient. They can withstand low temperatures, but prolonged frost can affect their growth. The choice of species, wind exposure, and soil conditions all play a role in their frost sensitivity. In terms of being evergreen, many of these grasses keep their foliage all year, but some may shed leaves annually, influenced by the specific type and local climate.

These grasses are also known for their heat and drought tolerance. Originating from regions with dry climates, they often have a waxy coating or fine hairs on their leaves to reduce water loss. A deep root system helps them access moisture from the soil, making them suitable for gardens with less frequent watering.

Regarding safety, purple flowering ornamental grasses are non-toxic and safe for gardens with children and pets. They pose no danger when used in typical garden settings. Additionally, these grasses contribute to biodiversity by providing habitats and food for insects and small animals. Their long-lasting blooms and native-like characteristics support a balanced ecosystem, making them ideal for wildlife gardens.

Uses for purple flowering grasses in moody planting schemes

Purple flowering ornamental grasses can transform any garden with their unique hues. These grasses, also known as lavender-hued ornamental grasses or violet-toned garden grasses, add a touch of mystery and drama. Here are some ways to use them in the garden:

  • Border: Create stunning purple-flowering borders by planting these grasses along the edges.
  • Group Planting: Use them in group plantings to form a lush, violet-coloured display.
  • Solitary: Plant as a solitary feature to draw attention with their striking purple flowers.
  • Hedge: Form a low hedge or boundary with these grasses for a soft, purple accent.
  • Containers: Perfect for pots or planters, they bring a splash of colour to patios or balconies.
  • Wildlife Gardens: Ideal for wildlife gardens, they attract beneficial insects with their vibrant blooms.
These grasses with purple hues are perfect for gardens with purple colour accents, offering a range of shades from light purple to deep purple. Consider adding them to your garden to enjoy their beauty and the wildlife they attract. For those looking to enhance their garden, consider the option to buy purple flowering ornamental grasses.

Companion plants for purple feature grasses

Purple flowering ornamental grasses can be beautifully combined with various plant types in the garden. These grasses, with their deep purple hues, add a striking contrast to light purple and lilac flowers. Consider pairing them with violet ornamental grasses for a harmonious look. For a more vibrant display, mix them with amethyst and plum-coloured flowers. A stunning combination is purple flowering ornamental grasses with mauve-coloured borders. This creates a rich tapestry of colours that can enhance any garden. Another option is to plant them alongside lavender and lilac blooms, which complement the deep purple feature grasses beautifully. These combinations work well because the rich purple grasses provide a bold backdrop that highlights the softer tones of other plants. Gardens with purple colour accents benefit from the texture and movement that these grasses bring. They are also ideal for purple-flowering borders, adding depth and interest. In wildlife gardens, purple ornamental grasses attract beneficial insects, making them a great choice for eco-friendly gardening. Whether used in gardens with purple colour accents or as part of a purple-flowering garden, these grasses with purple flowers are a versatile and attractive addition.

Best light and soil for rich purple colour

Purple flowering ornamental grasses thrive best in full sun. Sunlight helps these grasses develop their vibrant purple hues. However, they can also tolerate partial shade, though the colour might be less intense. Wind can affect these grasses, so planting them in a sheltered spot or using windbreaks can help protect them. The ideal soil for purple flowering ornamental grasses is well-draining and fertile. Sandy or loamy soils are perfect, as they prevent waterlogging. Regular fertilisation supports healthy growth and enhances the purple colour. Soil moisture is crucial. These grasses prefer moderate moisture levels. Too much wind or sun can dry the soil, so mulching can help retain moisture. The pH preference for these grasses is slightly acidic to neutral. A pH between 6.0 and 7.0 is ideal. Soil testing can ensure the right pH level, promoting vibrant growth. Incorporating purple flowering ornamental grasses into gardens with purple colour accents or purple-flowering borders can create stunning visual effects. These grasses add a touch of lavender, lilac, and violet to any garden, enhancing its beauty.

Planting guide for success with purple grasses

Purple flowering ornamental grasses can be planted throughout the year if they come in pots, except during frost. For those with roots or clumps, spring and autumn are ideal. Factors like soil type, sunlight, and climate affect planting success. When considering plant spacing, the type and size of the grass at planting time are important. Fast-growing varieties may need more space. Typically, the number of plants per metre is listed on the product page. Proper soil preparation is crucial. Loosen the soil and mix in organic matter to improve drainage. When planting, dig a hole twice the size of the root ball. Place the grass in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil moist, especially in the first few weeks. This helps the grass establish well. With the right care, these deep purple feature grasses will add stunning colour to any garden.

Maintenance for Ornamental Grass with Purple Flowers

Purple flowering ornamental grasses add a stunning touch to any garden. Proper care ensures they thrive and maintain their vibrant colour.

  • Watering: These grasses prefer well-drained soil. Water them deeply once a week, especially during dry spells. Check the soil moisture by touching it; if dry, it's time to water.
  • Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth appears. Use sharp shears to remove dead foliage, promoting healthy growth and maintaining shape.
  • Fertilising: Apply a balanced fertiliser in early spring. Use a slow-release type to provide nutrients throughout the growing season. Avoid over-fertilising to prevent weak growth.
  • Dividing: Divide every 3-4 years in early spring to rejuvenate and control size. Carefully dig up the clump, separate it into smaller sections, and replant.
  • Winter Protection: In colder climates, add a layer of mulch around the base to protect roots from frost. This helps maintain the plant's health through winter.
  • Transplanting: Best done in early spring or autumn. Water thoroughly after moving to reduce transplant shock and encourage root establishment.
For those looking to enhance their garden with these stunning plants, consider the option to buy purple flowering ornamental grasses for a vibrant display of colour.

Decorative power of dark flowering grasses

They attract bees and butterflies, making them ideal for wildlife gardens. The structure of purple flowering ornamental grasses provides shelter for small insects and animals, enhancing biodiversity in the garden.
