With Christmas over and a new year beginning, Thompson & Morgan is looking forward to a bumper year in gardens up and down the country. So what are the hot tips for 2014 in the plant world? In 1st place - the real ‘must have’ plant for 2014 is
Thompson & Morgan’s breeding phenomenon, the fabulous TomTato™. Interest in this amazing innovation has been immense - it’s been featured in the press all around the world.
Thompson & Morgan says that orders are coming in thick and fast for this fabulous plant which produces tomatoes above ground and potatoes below! Also featuring significantly in both of Thompson & Morgan’s
New Year’s Honours Lists are gardeners’ favourites - begonias.
The company’s Big Begonia Revival (www.bigbegoniarevival.com) gets off to a great start with ‘Fragrant Falls Improved’, ‘Lotto Mixed’, Begonia ‘Raspberry
Cream’ and ‘Apricot Shades’ all making an appearance in the horticultural honours list.
Thompson & Morgan is predicting a revolution in hanging baskets this summer. Cascading begonias will be leading
the way, followed closely by the fabulous petunias ‘Surfinia’, ‘Crazytunia’ and ‘Frills & Spills’. Patio pots and FlowerPouches™ will be in for a treat too; Lobelia ‘T&M’s
Choice’, a new and improved mix, exclusive to Thompson & Morgan is so versatile - it works just as well in containers as it does in borders. Gardeners looking for a clematis that
really delivers in terms of flower power, should consider Clematis ‘Top to Bottom’. No more bare lower stems with this variety; as the name suggests, it produces flowers all the
way up the plant! Always on the look-out for plants with bigger and better blooms, Thompson & Morgan brings a couple of ‘jumbo’ choices to gardeners looking for some big impact. Begonia ‘Whopper’ and spectacular Giant Flowered Fuchsia are
conspicuous in their size compared to regular varieties. They’re also surprisingly good value.
