New hanging basket plants for 2016!

We are gearing up for a busy spring on our Nursery. At the back of our garden centre, we grow a large selection of basket plants, some choice larger pot bedding plants, as well as planted hanging baskets. 

We are growing lots of new varieties this year. Here are a few plants we are looking forward to: Bidens 'Pink Princess' has a neat and compact habit with feathery foliage and beautiful bicoloured blooms. Calibrichoa 'Sunshine berry' is an excellent trailing plant that flourishes in sun and light shade and has very striking multi-coloured flowers.

Petunia 'Designer blue star' is a mound forming and free flowering novelty petunia ideal for baskets or pots. These three should be available as part of our basket plant range (which will include many more new varieties) from around mid-April.

New basket plant for 2015: Bidens Hawaiian flare orange drop

A bidens that is not yellow!!

Bidens has been a highly popular hanging basket plant for many years. They are vigorous with attractive feathery foliage and by the middle of summer they will be covered in flowers. It's popularity is rightly based on its reliability as a basket plant.

So why are we so excited by this Bidens? Because its the first one we have ever see or stocked that isn't yellow! The very attractive flowers are a mixture of sunset orange and red, and will be ideal for bright baskets for a sunny position.

We can't wait to test this one for ourselves!
