Our Plants
In addition to Beacon™ Impatiens we have also added some new summer petunias to our line-up: These are delightful and will brighten up any garden.
Petunia Lightening Sky, Thumbelina Candy Floss, and Phantom. Please come and check them out. Worth a visit just to see them!!!
Three new Petchoa – an ideal choice for the pot and patio, they are more weather resistant and recover from rain much faster than standard Petunias, with exceptional colours. A combination of the best features of Petunia and Calibrachoa, these are set to be the New Beauty Standard for patios, terraces, and balconies.
Come and see these beautiful specimens!
This year sees the launch of a new improved Impatiens (Busy Lizzie) called Beacon™. Impatiens Beacon™ offers season-long performance and brings back fast-filling colour to the garden ... without the disease risk! Since the widespread outbreak of impatiens downy mildew some years ago, many garden centres hesitated to stock this key bedding plant and gardeners have been mourning the loss of a much loved garden favourite. Now, through devoted breeding efforts and collaboration that has spanned the globe, Beacon™, a new impatiens that is highly resistant to downy mildew has been developed. In the spirit of bringing light – and happiness – back to gardens all over the world, a donation of a portion of Beacon™ Impatiens global sales will be made to The OI Foundation by the distributors. This is a less-widely known charitable organization which sets out to improve the quality of life for those living with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a genetic bone disorder characterized by fragile bones that break easily, also known as brittle bone disease. Give them a try this Summer and give a boost to a worthy cause…. Sounds like a look good with feel good factor!
