Plant Name Jacaranda Bonsai Blue

Entrant Suttons Consumer Products Ltd

Description

After 10 years of breeding and selecting a unique compact form of the enviable Jacoranda tree has been produced, still with large glorious light

blue tubular flowers and stunning green, fern like foliage like the great

specimens we see on holiday. Instead of the usual 20m height and 10-15

years to flower for the traditional tree, this new, unique form, not yet seen in Europe, will only reach 1.2-1.5m high, with a rounded shape and flowers

from a young age during early summer, resulting in the only compact

form that flowers as a young plant. As it matures, it also often repeat flowers again late summer. It’s a frost tender patio shrub, therefore will

need protection in winter, especially while young in order to thrive in

future years. Heat and drought tolerant, it’s an excellent choice for a patio

plant, so it can be brought in for the winter.


aid growing

This unique new form will now make it possible to supply a plant that will

not only fit all gardens or balconies, but also flower at a young age and

even be able to be supplied into retail as a budded or flowering plant

which we don’t believe has been possible before and due to the fact it often re-blooms in the same year, allows a couple of periods of despatch

for the ever increasing area in popularity of patio gardening



Travellers for years have wanted to grow the exotic looking Jacoranda

trees they see when away, but due to their shear size, frost tenderness and time to flower it has been difficult to achieve. Now with this new

compact form that flowers from a young age and often repeat flowers

again in the summer, all obstacles have been removed. Its dwarf and

compact, therefore can be brought in for winter for protection. For the

rest of the spring/summer, lovely fern like foliage will impress. Great for

container gardening and easy to grow with just a little pruning for shape after flowering if required

Plant Name Limonium Dazzle Rocks

Entrant Suttons Consumer Products Ltd

Description

This brand new variety is the only hardy and compact form of Limonium available in the world. Dazzle Rocks creates long-lasting, 30-40cm high

pillows of flowers in ever-popular bright blue shades from June-

September above rosettes of mid green leaves which hug the ground. The flowers are long lasting and look great in a container, the open border

andalso fresh in the vase or can also be dried for interest and colour in the

winter months. Peter van Stejn specialises in finding and breeding plants that will dazzle

both in the garden and as cut flowers. Having collected Limonium

gmellinie seed from the wild in Hungary where they exhibit wide

variations in the number and height of flower stems, Peter spent ten years

of selective crossing to develop this compact plant with many more flower

stems than usual. Unusual in being both drought resistant and fully hardy.


aid growing

Its not been possible before to grow a hardy form of this cultivar so now it

opens itself up to not only the bedding growers but also perennial and being fully hardy can be grown in lower cost structures without the need

of the inputs such as heat and there is no need to stake the flower spikes

due to its compact habit, which also aids the delivery process and cost and the transport home for the final consumer. It can now be used for

great impulse sales as a drought resistant perennial



For the first time ever these glorious blue flowers can be produced on a

hardy and compact perennial, rather than an annual. It has a really long flowering period for many months in summer and can be kept on the

plant or brought inside dried and put in a vase for autumn and winter

interest. It also produces many more flower stems than seen before so

really does make a stunning display in a container or a free draining soil in a garden. Its both heat and drought resistant and easy to grow so really is

a plant for our times

Plant Name Verbena ‘Margaret’s Memory’


Description

A wonderful plant named in memory of the late Margaret Seabrook, wife to gardening pundit, Peter Seabrook. Margaret suffered for many years

with dementia and Alzheimer’s, so this delightful variety is a fitting

memory to Margaret. Over 33% of the royalty collected will go to a

dementia charity close to Peter’s heart. The cultivar was a chance discovery, a “sport” from the well-known

‘Seabrook’s Lavender’ (a hardy verbena to –10 degrees centigrade), by

Robin and Christine Grant on the Isle of Wight. The new form also creates a bushy plant, with healthy green foliage and masses of repeat flowers

from May to November. It has a distinctive two-tone colour appearance, a

strong, dark pink centre slowly fades outwards through lilac, light pink with the outermost flower appearing almost white. A great memory to

Margaret and support to millions of dementia sufferers across the nation.

Plant Name : Mangave Mad about Mangave® ‘Lavender Lady’PBR

Entrant Javado Plant

Description

Mangave is a relatively new phenomenon, an intergeneric cross of Manfreda x Agave. These rare hybrids combine the best of both worlds: the

better growth rate and the interesting patterns of Manfreda, and the habit

and refinement of Agave. The ‘Lavander Lady’® is a unique, feminine

beauty with a solitary rosette habit and smoky purple coloration. In direct sunlight, smoky purple, ovate leaves are formed at the top of the rosette

and have subdued burgundy-purple dots. The leaves lighten to green with

age. Tiny white, fairly benign marginal spines. Cinnamon brown terminal spine.

Growers and consumers will appreciate the fast growth rate of Mangave,

these hybrids finish more quickly than Agave, thanks to their Manfreda

parentage. Hardiness Zones 9, 10. They like to be placed in well-drained soil.

and leaves of the Manfreda and the vibrant colors of Agave. During

Plant Name Mangave Mad about Mangave® ‘Mission to Mars’PBR


Description

A common nickname for Mars is the Red Planet, and this Mangave gets its

moniker due to the unique, intense red coloration from the leaves. 2¾" wide, thick green leaves are heavily speckled with burgundy red, with

spots that bleed into each other for an overall red appearance. The red

coloration is brought out best in direct UV light and becomes subdued

under heavy plastic. The long leaves form an arching habit, caused by the tips of the leaves curving downward. Margins curl upward to show off its

cinnamon spines, a nice color complement to the red.
