welcome...

...to a site filled with beautiful plants and no-nonsense plant facts. Whether you're a home gardener or a professional, you'll find the information you're looking for here.

And that's just for starters. Yes, our business is about searching the world for wonderful plants that are colorful, environmentally friendly and easy to grow with a minimum of fuss. You'd think that alone would keep us busy, but we also put a massive amount of effort into making sure our plants are as good as we say they are.

We have trial gardens around the globe, and we carry out research and development in areas such as flowering ability, disease tolerance, easy care (meaning no fancy maintenance) overall look of the plant/bush, low water use and identifying plants which grow well with less chemicals.  It is normally 5 to 7 years after we first see a new plant to do our trialing and testing before we think about it becoming available onto the market.  It's not about new (which is nice),  but they have to be good...AND proven!

Underpinning all this is a personal philosophy, based on strong ethical practices and professionalism.  It's a straightforward approach driven by a simple aim - finding exceptional plants that are colorful, best in class and so easy to grow, and then bringing them to market.

Enjoy!
