A favourite task for us in the Greenhouse is getting to explore the new plants that have been developed each season. With new colour options and hybrids, some of our all-time favourite annuals are those that have been created in just the last few years.
Before we consider adding a new plant to our Greenhouse, we take special care to ensure they will not only add visual appeal, but also be a strong and healthy addition to our gardens. New plants are exciting, however, they may not always be perfect. Sometimes what can look promising in a trial garden doesn’t translate well into a home garden. We take this into careful consideration when we choose our new favourites for the season so you know you’re getting the best and brightest of the new arrivals.
We’ve scouted out our favourite new plants for 2022 and we’re excited to introduce them to you!
