April 2026
Spring is moving the assortment towards plants that offer instant recognition and easy storytelling at retail level. This week’s selection combines familiar seasonal appeal with clear commercial roles: lilacs for fragrance and presence, a rose with long decorative value, and a raspberry line that adds edible interest to the mix.
Soft colour, long interest: Rosa (F) ‘Amirose’®
‘Amirose’ stands out with its compact, floriferous character and distinctive flowers that open from peach-toned buds into pink blooms with a darker centre. It is a strong assortment choice for customers looking for long-lasting color in a manageable format. Available in P14.
- Compact floriferous habit
- Semi-double flowers with contrasting centre
- Long flowering performance
Lilacs with seasonal pull: Syringa
Lilacs bring one of spring’s most recognizable signals to the assortment: fragrance, flower panicles and strong garden identity. This pairing offers two distinct directions within the genus, from the arching elegance of Syringa josikaea to the fuller, classic flower effect of Syringa vulgaris ‘Nadezhda’. Both are available in P9.
Syringa josikaea:
- Arching, elegant shrub habit
- Pink-mauve flowers
- Distinctive alternative within lilacs
Syringa vulgaris ‘Nadezhda’:
- Double flowers with fuller effect
- Lilac-blue tones from darker buds
- Strong seasonal lilac appeal
Edible interest with a compact footprint: Rubus Raspberry Tower (‘Hara’) PBR
Edible plants continue to create added value in the assortment, especially when they combine fruit appeal with an eye-catching habit. Raspberry Tower stands out through its upright, narrow, columnar growth and sweet red fruit, making it a smart addition for smaller-space gardening and mixed patio or kitchen-garden sales. Available in P9.
- Upright, columnar habit
- Sweet red raspberries
- Suitable for compact garden spaces
