For those of you who cherish and admire magnolias April is the best month to do so. Here are a few examples of the new and different flower colours which magnolia breeders from around the world have created in the last couple of decades. No longer are magnolias simply pink or white in flower. There is far more choice today!

New magnolias with pink and yellow in their flowers

MAGNOLIA 'Sunsation'

Golden-yellow flowers with a pink stripe. In colder parts of the country this one may not flower until later in April

Available £60.00

The very best new red flowered magnolias

MAGNOLIA 'Antje Zandee'

As you would expect from a cross involving M. ‘Black Tulip’ and M. 'Deep Purple Dream' this is an even more striking dark red colour

Available £60.00

Magnolias with blue buds

MAGNOLIA acuminata 'Blue Opal'

Cucumber tree

Spectacular blue buds striking blue buds open to a mixture of green and yellow. This is a unique colour in the magnolia world

Available £70.00

Here are a few early flowering herbaceous plants which are new to our catalogue this year, but have been on the website for a while:

AQUILEGIA vulgaris 'Greenapples'

Pale green buds opening to greenish many-petalled flowers ageing to cream. These are attractive and unusual colours to find in a 'Granny's bonnet'!

Available on pre-order £11.50 each or 3+ for £9.00 each

ERYSIMUM 'Constant Cheer'

Attractive orange-red flowers, ageing to pink-purple. Compact

Available £12.50 each or 3+ for £10.00 each

GEUM 'Mai Tai'

Semi-double apricot-pink flowers on red-tinted stems

Available £12.50 each or 3+ for £9.00 each

A new RHS science paper has recommended Cotoneaster franchettii as being at least 20% more effective than other shrubs at soaking up pollution by trapping harmful airborne particles. This is a plant to help boost the environment and improve human health in more built up areas. The berries are a real show in autumn too!
