Good Morning

Winters still well and truly with us, a good but testing time for Primula!
Last week presented a small trial of our varieties to the trade press, a few pic's here of some of the newer lines.
Begonia cuttings now hitting the growers in numbers, fuel costs to root these are frightening along with the fact they need around 16 hours of light upto mid - March means electricity demands are also high - but its worth it!
We are trialling a number of potential Begonia introductions for hanging baskets and patio containers with large fully double flowers - will keep you informed as to what we think in the summer, ahh summer!

Good Afternoon Gardeners

Had a few days on the road checking out the production of BrilliantGardens.com Primula and how they are flowering and where we are upto on deliveries!
Here you can see a couple of trollies all labelled up along with a poster set for delivery.
We are now well into the early (January) flowering varieties, things like Fruits of the Forest, Double Cream, Frilly, ChaChaCha, and the new Pearly Pink and Sugar Plum, many of these will be in centres now, those following on are Champagne, Lovely Laced, Woodland Walk and many others.


................... and still to come, don't worry there are still some fantastic varieties to be delivered over the next few weeks - Cheshire Life - Forsythia Yellow - Glorious Laced to name only three!
