Fibrex is a family business, established by Hazel & Dick Key 64 years ago.

 Although Hazel & Dick are no longer with us, the business is now in the capable hands of their daughters Ursula, Angela, son Richard and his wife Heather. Ours is a truly family affair with Helena, another of Hazel & Dick’s daughters, looking after the Pelargonium Collection through the summer & autumn months. Cherry, Ursula’s daughter makes it a 3rd generation family company, as she now runs the office. Sandra, who has worked with us for so long now she might as well be family, looks after the mail order Pelargoniums along with Nicola and we are very lucky to have Marcus & Matt to do all of our heavy lifting.

 Still situated in the heart of the beautiful Warwickshire countryside, the nursery now boasts a much expanded range of plants, a hugely successful mail order service and an excellent reputation on the Flower Show Exhibition circuit. We also welcome visitors to the nursery to browse through a vast range of plants available for immediate sale.

 Our nursery is run on simple principles, mainly to grow the best quality plants that we can and as a family of collectors we like variety, which means there is a lot to choose from.

From March the 1st to August the 31st we are open Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.

The National Collection of Pelargoniums

 The National Collection of Pelargoniums has become the largest of its kind in the world encompassing as it does both cultivars and species. Although the main body of the collection is held within the main collection house, in truth it is spread across the entire nursery, the glass houses overflowing with colour and spilling out into large tubs outside throughout the summer months showing the true diversity of this wonderful genus. With over 2000 varieties on show you will never see another collection quite like it. Open to the public from May to September & free of charge.

The National Collection of Hedera

 The National Collection of Hedera is kept with our Show Ivies. There are 390 varieties in the collection showing a tremendous range of foliage types, habits & uses. Ivies are not only necessary for a healthy environment as they clean the air we breath, they are also essential for our native wild life. But putting all of its environmental credentials aside, ivy can be very beautiful if used in the right context.

 We encourage any person who thinks ivies are an unkempt garden menace to go take a look and see what can be done with these versatile gems.

Ferns

 The collection of ferns at Fibrex is well know in the pteridological world and so it should be as it is quite possibly the largest, most extensive commercial collection of hardy ferns in the UK. Here you can browse through our show ferns to get inspiration for your own fernery, then purchase younger versions having got the advice needed for getting the right fern for the right spot.

Named Tuberous Begonias

 Should you come browsing in the summer or autumn you can’t help but notice the Begonias in all their blousey glory.

Hardy Geraniums

 We now have a fairly large range of geraniums on offer. Please don’t confuse these with Pelargoniums as is so often the case at Garden Centres. They are not the same thing! These are herbaceous perennials and make a lovely addition to any cottage garden.

Tropical Hibiscus

 Our newest addition to the nursery is our collection of tropical Hibiscus. These have been gathered together over the last 15 years from the 4 corners of the globe and is the only commercial collection of Hibiscus in the country.
