Ball held its Spring Showcase 2025 this week, inviting growers and retailers to its West Adderbury Trials site to see new ranges and inspirational ways of displaying seasonal plants for spring.
Highlights included new introductions such as Primula Prima Belarina™ Tangerine, a new punchy colour to this popular series which is set apart by its extra-large and fragrant flowers. New hardy perennial wallflower, Erysimum Colour Vibe Red and Orange blooms from spring until summer displaying intense colours and is perfect for 3 litre pot sales.
The Spring Break range of 12 mixes included combinations of viola, primula, Erysimum, and saxifrage to provide long-lasting colour displays. Perfect for February to March sales in 1.5-2 litre pots, bowls, planted containers or hanging baskets they also have exceptionally long shelf life. Inspiration for colour themed arrangements has come from popular holiday destinations and include Rimini (yellow and white), Jamaica (yellow, purple and white) and Cancun (purples and violets)
