This gallery contains the plant selections that we have been delighted to introduce to the UK market over the past 30 years.
While we do not have a breeding programme – where we set out to intentionally create new forms – we do have a selection programme where we keep a sharp eye out for possible new plants from amongst various seedlings, sports and mutations that might occur in the garden or on the nursery. This is an ongoing process and we always have a number of unnamed plants which are undergoing trial to assess their suitability for our gardens.
Our trials have a strong emphasis on plants that will perform well in the UK climate. The majority of plants in our trials do not make the grade and are discarded. But some do, and the plants shown here are the results of our work – so far.
