Farplants will be exhibiting at stand 349/360 at the National Plant Show 2026 - easy to find as they’re neighbouring the HTA Village.
Among the highlights will be two new plant introductions entered into the New Plant Awards:
Verbascum creticum Walberton's® Beeline™ has been bred in the UK and features multiple branching flowering spikes carrying rich yellow blooms with distinctive burgundy centres above glossy dark green foliage. This sterile variety flowers continuously throughout the summer, delivering exceptional garden performance and long-lasting colour. In the morning sunshine, the flowers release a lemony scent, while their nectar-rich flowers prove irresistible to pollinators. Drought tolerant, floriferous and highly attractive to bees, pollinators quite literally make a bee line for it – hence the name!
Also entered is Nepeta x faassenii EarliBlue, an outstanding new variety that flowers significantly earlier than comparable Nepetas. Large, dense flower spikes rise above strong, healthy foliage which remains lush and green throughout the season, without the yellowing often seen at the base of older varieties. EarliBlue offers continuous colour, exceptional weather resistance and a robust, tidy habit, with sturdy stems that resist splitting or flopping open after summer storms.
In addition to these award entries, Farplants will also be displaying a seasonal range of new plant introductions, giving visitors an opportunity to view the latest additions to the Group's portfolio.
The National Plant Show will also provide the first opportunity for customers to learn more about an exciting new venture from Farplants. Whilst full details remain under wraps, visitors to the stand will be among the first to discover how this new initiative will help customers unlock additional sales opportunities and broaden their plant offering.
Looking ahead to the festive season, Farplants will unveil its Christmas 2026 collection, including a curated range of wreath designs alongside a collection of festive planted gifts and seasonal container arrangements. With an emphasis on quality, careful design and contemporary styling, the collection has been developed to offer a more premium festive proposition for garden centres. Designed to deliver strong visual impact and seasonal appeal, the range provides retailers with products to help drive Christmas sales and inspire festive gifting.
Visitors can also learn more about the practical support Farplants continues to provide its customers. Recent initiatives include a market-leading approach to Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), where Farplants assumes responsibility for EPR reporting and fees on plants supplied by the Group. Customers can also discuss Farplants' approach to managing rising transport costs, with the business continuing to absorb the majority of fuel-related increases on customer deliveries.
