Shrubs
The plants in this product group are grown both field grown in the ground (bare root or root ball) and in conatiners. We also offer some organically grown shrubs. Our shrubs are ideal for use in mass planting beds, as ground cover and underplanting.
Did you know that a significant proportion of the shrubs at Boot & Dart Nurseries are grown in biodegradable pots One of the few nurseries in the Netherlands to do so.
Roses
View our ‘Top Roses‘ booklet
The ‘Queen of Flowers’ is also a very popular plant in amenity planting , partly because of its colourful flowers and long-lasting blooms. Boot & Dart only grows roses on their own roots, meaning there is no need to prune off suckers from the rootstock. Our modern shrub roses excel in terms of their health and abundance and have high road salt tolerance. Boot & Dart roses attract many bees, butterflies, and other insects, thereby helping to promote biodiversity. Our roses are field grown at our own nursery in Boskoop, where the unique peat-rich soil guarantees superior quality of the plants . We also grow Roses in containers in Zundert. Several of our rose varieties have been awarded the prestigious Excellence Roses label, which makes us rather proud. The Excellence Roses label guarantees healthy, floriferous roses for public spaces.
Perennials
Perennials are increasingly popular for use in public planting , and for good reason. Perennials provide colour, variety and biodiversity. Moreover, our perennials are low maintenance. With its Fleur Robuste© package, Boot & Dart offers a series of strong and floriferous perennials that are highly suitable for use in urban greenery. We also supply organically grown perennials. Please browse the new cultivars that our R&D department has developed.

Introductions
Plants for the future
Boot & Dart’s Research & Development department are trueinnovaters in ornamental Horticulture. We are one of the very few companies that specifically breed for public and amenity planting . Through hybridisation and selection, new cultivars are developed that are not only stronger and healthier than their predecessors, but maintain their ornamental value for longer and require less maintenance.
Low maintenance is an important criterion in selecting new cultivars for public green spaces. Our approach is as follows:
- We select plants with a uniform and compact growth , so pruning is rarely needed;
- We breed plants with dense foliage with high disease resistance, which effectively suppress weeds;
- Our selected single and semi-double flowers, shed their spent petals naturally.
- We take climate resilience into account by breeding plants that are tolerant to drought, excess moisture and heat.
- We prioritise biodiversity benefits when breeding.
- We do not rush to achieve best results. Selecting and trialling the best plants is a process that takes many years. We start with thousands of seedlings, of which perhaps only one, will meet all our exacting criteria and be introduced to the market as a new cultivar.
Our new introductions are strong plants that are future proof, enhance biodiversity and thus contribute even more to a greener and sustainable environment.
Please take a look at the cultivars we have introduced and our investments in the future of greenery.

Biodiversity
Boot & Dart has created our ‘Biodiversity’ booklet for all landscape professionals who promote biodiversity. It provides a complete overview of suitable trees, shrubs, roses and perennials, to promote biodiversity. Thanks to their nectar, pollen, seeds and fruits, these plants serve as a food source for insects, birds and small mammals, providing them too with shelter and nesting places.
