IJsselstein – Plantipp BV and Concept Plants BV participate in the very first edition of the Garden Trials and Trade. The Garden Trials and Trade is the only stop where about 30 companies are showcasing their new varieties in the area of woody plants and perennials. This offers a unique opportunity to see these innovations in full bloom in the middle of the gardening season. During the Garden Trials, Plantipp and Concept Plants will show their latest introductions and will give a sneak preview of the varieties that will be introduced in 2019.
Nine introductions are signed up for the Novelty Trials. Agastache Beelicious® Purple ('Agapd') is an eye-catcher with large, purple flowers. Because Beelicious® Purple is a rebloomer, you can enjoy this plant for a long period. A real surprise is our introduction of Ajuga tenorii Princess Nadia ('Piotrek01'). This rich flowering Ajuga has very fine, variegated foliage. The new shoots show a beautiful pink colour. Another beautiful perennial is the Antirrhinum majus Pretty in Pink ('Pmoore07'). Charming, bright pink flowers with a yellow centre with a unique shape: narrow, elongated and larger than flowers of other Antirrhinum varieties.
A new Lavandula introduction is Lavandula stoechas Dark Night ('Agri447'). Dark Night has extreme large, dark purple flowers a very rich rebloom and above all: a strong rooting system. And then there is the romantic Leontopodium alpinum Blossom of Snow ('Berghman'). This alpine flower that everyone knows from The Sound of Music, has very large flowers on long stems so they can even be used as cut flowers. And then there is our Saxifraga callosa Icequeen ('HIL201206'), a pretty plant that will lighten up your rock garden with its white flowers and glossy silver foliage. ‘Icequeen’ makes multiple rosettes which is unique for Saxifraga.
Lonicera hybrid 'Celestial' smells heavenly. And this climber flowers long and abundantly with very nice flowers in the tones of apricot. Rhodohypoxis 'Beverly' will lighten up your garden or terrace with its bright flower colour. Very long flowering period when given some fertilizer after the first bloom. And last but not least: Veronica spicata Snow Candles ('Joca 128'). A true beauty with its masses of pure white flowers. It is compact, bushy and not prone to diseases and plagues.
