Calling all planteria teams and plant buyers. Make sure you stop by Hall 10 to see the nurseries at the Green Heart with the latest plants and availability for the coming season.

Michael Perry's collection of Future Plants includes some intriguing new introductions, such as the purple leaved Hibiscus Carousel Ghost with white flowers and heavily scented Cyclamen ambiance. But it's not all about the newness. "I also want to show plants which will succeed and cope with the challenges of the future and of climate change," said Michael.

Particular favourites, which Michael would recommend garden centres to stock, are Rose Scentifall Lemon, great for hanging baskets and containers where its delicate yellow flowers can be fully appreciated. It's one of the last to come from Thompson & Morgan's own breeding programme and as its name suggests, it also has fragrant blooms with several other colours in the pipeline.

Sundavilla Double Blush - in a soft pink - is one of many now being propagated in the UK by Kernock . "This means the supply is completely in the UK which has come at the right time for the market," said Michael.
