With Mother’s Day looming in a few weeks (10 March), Mr Fothergill’s counter-top display of sweet pea ‘Mumsie’ looks a natural order for stockists of the brand.

The unit holds 30 packets, SRP £1.99 each for 20 seeds and has a reversible header board, so sales can be extended through March and into April.

‘Mumsie’ has large, bright pink highly-scented blooms borne on long stems.  Seed has been bulked up for a number of years and this is believed to be the first time the variety has been offered commercially.

The eye-catching display, designed for till-side positioning, will generate impulse sales and appeal to keen gardeners looking for a variety they may not have seen before. It makes an inexpensive gift for those on a tight budget.
