Good Morning

Hope I don't speak to soon but this weather is fantastic and has everyone thinking of summer although we are still in April! Begonias are now potted, you can see this years range on the web site, theres also some background by Dennis to one of this years introductions, lets hope this weather continues for the next few months so we call all enjoy these brilliant plants in the garden.

Something to look out for if you are in the South Eastern area, we will introduce a small quantity of a new family of Geranium 'Summer Twist' perfect for the pation and to add colour to hot borders, Summer Twist has spiky petals in five seperate colours, see picture of Rose, this year is a trial run with our grower in the South East if it goes well it will be nationwide in 2010.

Hello

We are well into Begonia mode now, had a walk through the propagation benches last week (a couple of pic's here), all is looking well, rooting is just short of 100% across all varieties!

These will be potted on into one litre pots this week or next and then grown on to flowering, which will be towards the end of May or early June.

Availability will be somewhat restricted compared to last year, we plan to have more growers across the country to improve this for the future.

We have two great new introductions, will get these on the web site soonest, also available will be the fabulous Peardrop, a unique bicolour bred in Cheshire.
