New 'Astilbe' Collection & 'Lychnis' For May
 

The Warwickshire based family company, Hawkesmill Nurseries, will be bringing a kaleidoscope of bright hues to their customers in 2018, with a brand new Astilbe Collection and also a super new Lychnis, in May.

The Astilbe 'Younique Collection' consists of three colours of this excellent variety and is supplied with large lock-in labels and colour bed card.  With feathery, soft plumes these Astilbes are stunning and contrast beautifully with their deep, green, dainty foliage.

The gorgeous 'Lychnis coronaria atrosanguinea' has evergreen rosettes of silvery, woolly leaves. On top of the upright stems are vivid, velvety magenta flowers, resplendent in their glory!

Garden Retailers can contact Hawkesmill Nurseries for more information about their new varieties, as well as general availability by phoning them on 01676 532334 or by emailing them on sales@hawkesmillnurseries.co.uk.
