Kernock target awards for two new plants

Visitors to the Kernock Park Plants stand Stands A46, 47 and 49 at Four Oaks at the Four Oaks trade show next week will see some of the 50 new plant introductions from their 2013/2014 catalogue. 

Some are interesting innovations, others a twist on garden favourites. “We strive to bring exciting new varieties to the UK market, and our network of breeders have really shone again to make the 2014 catalogue another exciting selection.” said MD Bruce Harnett.

Two of them will be entered for Four Oaks new plant awards – Bidens ‘Rockstar’ from Proven Winners and Agastache ‘Blue Boa’.

‘Rockstar’ has extra-large flower heads and a more upright habit that has transformed the role of this bidens from a trailing filler into a patio pot centrepiece plant.

Already proving popular with growers, ‘Blue Boa’ has spikes of deep violet blue over deep green, well-branched but upright foliage. The plant is described as having an excellent habit, with no staking required and most suitable to add deep blues to the mid border. “It’s a quality plant for growers as it will look good in pots on the garden centre bench as well as in the garden.” says Harnett.

The catalogue includes further additions to the Grasses, Alpine, Herbaceous and Summer Flowering Patio Plant ranges
