Sales of the best-selling autumn-flowering F1 wallflower ‘Sugar Rush’ over the past year have helped to train a student.
‘Sugar Rush’, bred by Floranova and supplied by Ball Colegrave, forms a new foundation for autumn colour in flower borders and patio containers. A scented variety, it is the first dual purpose hardy F1 hybrid wallflower to flower in the autumn, overwinter and re-flower again in abundance the following spring
The plant’s launch was a unique collaboration between the trustees of the David Colegrave Foundation. A contribution from the sales of ‘Sugar Rush’ is donated to the foundation to support students training in horticulture. In the 12 months folllowing its release, almost one million seeds and plugs were sold, enough to fund a bursary.
