Plant Name Rudbeckia hirta Enchanted Sunburst

Entrant Farplants Sales Ltd

Breeder Thompson & Morgan

Plant Description

Bred by Thompson & Morgan, Enchanted Sunburst bears stunning

long-lasting, semi-double, gold and black flowers. These appear from July through to October on a vigorous and bushy plant. The flower colour gradually deepens in colour as they age so the result

is a multi-tonal tapestry of colour that will provide long lasting interest, just when many summer plants have finished blooming.

The flowers are always busy with pollinating insects, making this a great choice for a wildlife garden. Enchanted Sunburst makes the

perfect patio container plant and they look fabulous planted en

masse in beds and borders. The Enchanted series all grow to a height of 50cm and spread to 45cm. So whatever your planting style, these reliable annuals will fit in perfectly!

Special features which aid growing

The Enchanted series are all propagated by tissue culture so the

plugs are vigorous and uniform and get off to a flying start in their final pots. Most other Rudbeckia hirta types are grown from seed which will never perform quite as well as plants from tissue

culture. So for a grower, the Enchanted series promise a superb final grade-out at despatch.

Special features which benefit

the consumer

The Enchanted Series arrive on Garden Centre in July just when

customers are looking for instant colour to brighten up their late summer borders and patios. Being propagated from tissue culture,

plants will establish quickly in the garden and because the

Enchanted Series are all the same height, customers can mix and

match the varieties together. They are an amazing magnet for

pollinating insects and the public are now increasingly seeking out plants that are insect friendly. Rudbeckias also make very good cut flowers for indoor use with strong stems and a long vase life.

Plant Description

'Good Night Kiss' is a wonderfully exciting novel colour adding to the

Calibrachoa Cabaret® series. The punchy two-tone purple flowers feature a

striking and stable yellow star centre. 'Good Night Kiss' sets a new

benchmark for what is already considered one of the best programmable

Calibrachoa series on the market. Like all colours in the Cabaret® series it is

closely matched for timing, habit and flower size. The well-branched,

mounded and trailing plants have a full centre, are covered with many

flowers on dark green foliage and provides outstanding garden performance

in all weathers. At lower temperatures they are less sensitive than most

other Calibrachoa. Cabaret can be grown in 9-12 cm pots and is one of the

earliest flowering Calibrachoa on the market. Good Night Kiss will make an

excellent ingredient for exciting plant combinations or planted in its own

right in a hanging basket.

A punchy colour with a stunning novel colour effect. The well-branched,

flowers on dark green foliage. More tolerant than any other varieties of hard

tap water, so unlike other Calibrachoa, the leaves of Cabaret remain green

and do not turn yellow easily. Also more tolerant of cool, damp conditions

than most other varieties. Outstanding in baskets and patio containers in

mixed plantings or stand alone. Flowers June to end September. Height and

spread 30cm. A real all round winner for the home gardener!

Plant Name Heuchera villosa Berry Timeless


Breeder Walters Gardens

Plant Description

This is a revolution in Heuchera genetics! You’ll be amazed at the

unbelievable flower production of ‘Berry Timeless’. A myriad of

light pink flowers which age to a deeper rose red are produced in

tight wands on 45-50cm stems. What is so remarkable is what happens when the flowers are over. Similar to a Statice, the flowers dry in place on the stems instead of falling off and leaving

bare stems. These everlasting flowers were the inspiration behind the name – Timeless. You’ll get a two toned look of light and dark

pink flowers on the same plant for a strong show of colour. Even

better, this plant blooms and re-blooms continuously, not in waves, from early summer to the first frost! The foliage is nicely

marked too to add to the effect and of course like other Heucheras, it is incredibly versatile around the garden in sun or

light shade.


growing

Like most other Heucheras, plugs come from tissue culture so are virus clean, uniform and vigorous. Therefore, they establish

quickly and will grow in a wide variety of nursery facilities. Heucheras will need less watering than many other plants and

slug and snail damage won’t be a problem.


the consumer

Berry Timeless offers gardeners a very long period of interest each year with flowering for months and almost year round foliage

appeal. So it represents very good value for money. Its versatility

around the garden means that Berry Timeless can be grown

almost anywhere – in sun or light shade and also in containers. Heucheras are also quite drought tolerant, once established, and are generally untouched by slugs and snails. So this variety would

be perfect for new gardeners.

Breeder Botanic Experience b.v.

Plant Description

Acer palmatum ‘Cascade Emerald’ is a very exceptional Japanese

maple. What makes it so special is the strongly pendulous growth

habit of the leaves combined with green laciniated leaves. Without a

trunk it could easily be a ground-covering plant. If you were to tie each shoot against the trunk, you would create a very narrow plant with twigs hanging down over its entire length.The fresh leaves in the

Spring are bright green coloured. Afterwards the leaves turn into a more darker green colour. In autumn the star-shaped yellow leaves

turn orange-red.

Plant Name Lavandula angustifolia Blue Jeans


Breeder Biotope 45

Plant Description

There are lots of Lavenders on the market to choose from but

what makes Blue Jeans stand out from the rest is its unusually

long flowering period – from mid-summer through to autumn. The

high-impact, deep violet flower heads appear just above fabulous neat, compact, grey-green foliage. Flowering at 40cm high, Blue Jeans makes a perfect container plant with months of patio

interest each year and also works well as a very decorative dwarf hedge. Being an ‘English Lavender’ it is reliably hardy across the

UK, given good drainage and full sun. And of course Lavenders are

very tactile to help with wellbeing and they are fantastic for bees and other pollinators too.


Our Nursery reports that Blue Jeans is great to grow because it has such a naturally free-branching habit so requires less trimming

through its development. And it looks to have a healthy

constitution too so we expect a very good final grade-out.


the consumer

An extended flowering period is a major step forward for

Lavenders which have normally finished flowering by the end of

August. Being naturally very free-branching and compact, Blue Jeans is likely to stay looking good in the garden for years longer than a great many other varieties. The strong flower colour really stands out compared to a lot of existing varieties, many of which

have quite pale flowers. Lavenders are aromatic and very tactile

so they can help with wellbeing and they are fantastic for bees

and other pollinators too.

Plant Name Prunus Pink Beauty


Breeder Pépinières Choteau

Plant Description

Cherry enthusiast and Belgian nurseryman Benoit Choteau raised this

divine cultivar from seed of the diminutive Japanese alpine cherry

Prunus nipponica var. kurilensis (or a cultivar thereof). The pollen

parent is unknown. The habit is upright-rounded and compact, with slender branches carrying great numbers of elegant lilac-pink semi-double flowers,

fading to pastel-pink. Just before senescing, the white anther filaments turn pink.

The blossoms emerge over a period of weeks beginning in mid-March.

They are followed by petite deep green, serrate leaves with bronze undersides. New spring growth emerges red. The bark develops a

lovely shiny chestnut-brown coloration with age, similar to that of the Japanese alpine cherry. In autumn, the healthy foliage turns a good

orange.


Given the seed parent, the somewhat campanulate blossom emerges relatively early in the year.



This cultivar ‘ticks every box’ and is a superb choice for all garden

sizes. As it becomes better known and more widely available, it is

likely to become very popular indeed.

leader. It is one of the healthiest birch varieties in the nursery with a

very high percentage of grade one trees. It appears to be resistant to

birch rust.

Plant Name Prunus Kalmthout Beauty


Breeder Robert and Jelena De Belder / Arboretum

Kalmthout

Plant Description

A superb cultivar with stunning spring blossom, deep green healthy foliage on slender branches and a narrow, upright habit -

making a compact tree perfectly suited to smaller modern

gardens.

Arising from open-pollinated seed of Prunus ‘Kursar' at Arboretum Kalmthout, Begium – then owned by Robert and Jelena De Belder – and a favourite of former curator Harry van Trier. The pollen

parent is unknown.

The abundant simple 5-petaled flowers are a lovely rich sugar-pink, and the petals are distinctly notched, creating a heart-shaped outline.


growing

Unlike the seed parent, Prunus ‘Kalmthout Beauty' flowers well on one year old wood - making it significantly more floriferous than

Prunus ‘Kursar' (and it's other notable offspring Prunus ‘Collingwood Ingram' AGM), and from a very early age.

Plant Description

A chance find in Oxfordshire, this apple is very special. Sweeter than Cox and with an improved, delicious, exceptional, aromatic

flavour, the apple is crunchy, crisp and juicy. Bladon Pippin can be

eaten fresh or used for cooking. It can be picked and eaten from

the tree over a few weeks from mid-September so has a long cropping period and can be stored on the tree until the end of October then in a cool place will last for a good few months. The

pretty apple blossom flowers are great for attracting bees and

pollinators to the garden and it will grow easily in all parts of the UK. The name Bladon Pippin came about because the original tree grew just a stone's throw from Bladon Church, where our Prime

Minister Winston Churchill was laid to rest in 1965 and of course, it

is a Pippin!

Bladon Pippin is very hardy and easy to grow with good compatiability on all Malus rootstocks. Will grow in a wide range of

soils and sites. Crops heavily with attractive, uniform fruit.
