A good selection of hardy perennials are also propagated at our nursery, especially alpines.

Pineview Plants is run by Colin & Cindy Moat and the nursery offers a wide range of perennial plants ranging from rare, new or unusual, to easy, interesting and reliable. The extensive range primarily reflects plants that are of interest to us and that we believe to be of outstanding garden merit. These include mainly hardy herbaceous perennials and ornamental grasses, which complement them, plus an extensive range of shade-lovers.
