Ball Colegrave have announced that the world's first seed-raised F1 series of New Guinea Impatiens has been recognised with a coveted RHS AGM for one of its colours.Divine Violet was one of just a handful of New Guinea Impatiens varieties to be awarded an Award of Garden Merit for garden excellence.
Over 100 varieties were trialled in both flower beds and containers last Summer at RHS Wisley and Kew. The Divine series put on a fantastic performance in such a large class of New Guinea Impatiens.
The F1 Divine series offers the whole bedding industry a product with great all-round performance.
As a seed-raised variety it has proven an easy, affordable and reliable New Guinea option for growers, retailers and parks to produce commercially in 9 -13cm pots and premium packs.
In the garden and containers, Divine exhibits strong branching, free flowering, tolerance of many weathers and great colour range, making this a most worthy plant for any patio or garden.
New Guinea F1 Divine is available in 10 colours and 5 mixtures (including Islander Mixed as pictured) and is supplied as both seed or plugs.
