Independent plant breeders’ agent Plants For Europe has entered two plants from its client portfolio in the new plant competition at this month’s Plantarium trade show (Boskoop, Netherlands, from 26 August).

Eryngium ‘Neptune’s Gold’ (pictured on cover page), bred by Neil Alcock and winner of the Best New Perennial at the UK Grower Awards 2015, will be entered by Rijnbeek and Son Perennials. ‘Neptune’s Gold’ is now being sold in the US and Japan as well as in Europe.

Salvia ‘Love and Wishes’ (pictured left), bred by John Fisher in Australia, third placed in the new plant competition at Chelsea 2015 and winner of Best In Show and the Visitor Vote at the UK HTA National Plant Show 2015, will be entered by Florensis, who are offering all three varieties in the Wish series, including Ember’s Wish which won a silver medal at Plantarium 2014. PFE expects the series to be immensely popular with garden centres in 2016.
