Good Morning

The weather has decided to conspire against us but don't worry its only a blip!

Walked through one of the Begonia crops last week, this year we have a grower in the South East and one in the West Midlands, plants are looking good although running a little late!

The trial varieties look promising, these will be assessed inside and outside in July, selections will be made and decisions as to how quickly we can produce a suitable quantity of mother stock (we produce all these varieties from cuttings) at the same time they will go to the lab for disease testing to ensure we start with the cleanest possible material.

A few pictures below, the new Lemondrops, Blue Sky Appleblossom a flower of Peardrop and Flamboyant showing just what its capable of!

Hello

Welcome to the blog of http://www.brilliantgardens.com/ we specialise in new varieties of Primula and Begonia, check out the web site for a variety overview and lots more!

We are heading rapidly towards summer and according to the forecasters we are in for a good one, the Begonia production is growing away nicely, you can't beat a Begonia for performance and colour particularly in the UK.

The Begonias will be in garden centres from early June through July along with the new Geranium Summer Twist in the South Eastern area (another picture attached).

The stockist page on the web site will be updated over the coming weeks, however availability will be somewhat limited compared to last year.

We have around 50 lines in trial for potential new introduction in years to come, this covers a whole range of plant habits, flower and foliage colours, flower types etc so we should have something for everyone given a little luck!
