About
Plants that suit Irish conditions
Many plants will grow in Ireland, but wet winters, heavy soil, and Atlantic wind rule out plenty of popular choices. The directory and plans here focus on varieties that cope in typical Irish gardens.
Use a planting plan to see layout and spacing, or look up individual plants for soil, light, and care notes.
