spring Preview
It’s all about colour. Vibrant perennials are attracting
the attention of the new and
seasoned gardener alike.
The trends are also to the revival
of the retro, often with a twist.
A ‘re-make’ of varieties of
yester-year demonstrated by
the phenomenal success of
the new ‘Magnifi-scent’ Pinks®,
‘retro’ is ‘in’. Thanks to the
talents and perseverance of
our dedicated plant breeders
we continue to be able to offer
the gardener varieties that last
longer, are more compact and
appropriate to the urban or
‘limited space’ garden, and flower
to a far greater extent than older
varieties.
