Symbol Guide
When visiting Hardy Exotics, you will enjoy a totally unique experience. Our nursery nestles below huge banks planted out with palms, succulents, puyas, gunnera, and all sorts of dramatic plants, too numerous to mention. Our symbol guide is to assist you in choosing the right plants for your own garden.
Hardy-ness Zones
We are bursting at the seams with rare, unusual, weird and wonderful species. To help you choose plants suitable for your area of the country we have developed a zoning system. The British Isles is divided into eight zones and every plant on our list is allotted to the zones it can reasonably be expected to grow in.
Our A to Z Guide
Our extensive range of over 1,500 exotic plants can be viewed in our online A to Z Guide.
