Wyevale Nurseries will be unveiling its new printed promotional catalog at the Horticultural Trades Association (HTA) National Plant Show this month after a break of two years due to Covid. The company's new 2023 catalog includes 22 new plant promotions and will be available to collect at the plant show at Stoneleigh Park in Warwickshire on June 21 and 22.
Andy Johnson, Director at Wyevale Nurseries in Hereford, said: "We're delighted to be returning this year to the National Plant Show after a two-year absence during the pandemic when, understandably, everything went online. It's back now and bigger and better than ever. It's brilliant to have the opportunity once again to meet our retail customers face-to-face. To coincide with the show, we're launching our full color, printed edition catalog, alongside our digital version too."

"Our 2023 catalog very much reflects the latest trends that garden center customers are looking for, such as plants that are suitable for urban gardens or can be grown in containers on patios, so we're providing interest for those who don't have large gardens with borders to fill. There is also increasing demand for plants that provide food or a haven for wildlife. We've included some plants to help inspire the millions of new gardeners who joined our ranks during the past two years too."
Hydrangea' French Bolero Pink'
With 22 new promotions added to the range for 2023, including seven of the company's entries for the New Plant Awards at the National Plant Show this month, they continue to develop and enhance its offering.
Hydrangea' French Bolero Blue
Echinacea SunSeekers' Purple Cabbage', which has a compact habit with black stems, holds the most intense pink single flowers of giant proportion.
Potentilla fruticosa ‘Mango Tango’
"Other highlights include Hydrangea' French Bolero Pink' and Hydrangea' French Bolero Blue,' Potentilla fruticosa' Mango Tango,' which is perfect for smaller gardens, Cordyline australis 'Charlie Boy' – a vibrant statement plant and ideal for container planting. And Senecio' Orange Flame', which has vivid orange pompom flowers on silver-grey, waxy foliage and is a magnet for butterflies."

"We've also included the 2019 winner of the European horticultural show, IPM Essen in Germany, Pyracantha coccinea' Red Star'. This new variety has masses of pure red berries from autumn onwards and has 80% fewer thorns compared with other pyracanthas. It's suitable for containers, hedges, or for covering a wall."

Andy concludes: "Product development is critical to meet future market demands and availability. We're always looking at emerging trends and seeking alternatives for disease-susceptible varieties. We have formed strong relationships with young plant breeders and are now at the forefront of introducing new varieties, which will be sustainable long into the future."
