What makes a good greenhouse watering can?
Growing under glass opens up new growing possibilities, but you're also in charge of all the watering. Without rain to help out, that often means daily trips between tap and staging, reaching back benches, and switching between a fine mist for seeds and a faster flow for established plants. When watering becomes routine, comfort and control start to matter more than you'd think.
The features that make greenhouse watering easier work just as well out in the garden. You want a can that feels balanced and comfortable when full, enough reach (or a long-reach spout) to water properly without strain, and a good rose.
Roses are essential for greenhouse growing. We make a full range in solid brass or brass-faced finishes, letting you switch from extra-fine misting for seeds and seedlings to coarser spray for mature plants as your needs change.
Our plastic cans are lightweight and robust, handling daily greenhouse watering and humid conditions without complaint. Our metal cans, made from galvanised steel, solid copper or brass, and powder-coated steel, offer the precision and balance that serious growers depend on (even Monty Don has been known to use a Haws watering can).
One good can with a couple of roses is really all you need to start.
