If we look at the modern garden plant container or patio border as possibly more like a crevice in a high altitude rock face in Chile, a shaded woodland  a dry hill slope in Japan or a sandy free draining seaside dune in New Zealand we can begin to get more of  an idea what type plants we need  and how adaptable they can be for urban living spaces. Together with this idea of what we need in this changed environment we combine the skills of plant breeders. These breeders with a lot of help from nature come up with numerous attractive varieties which give us longer lasting and more easily maintained plants for the small garden or balcony container and our long term enjoyment.  Today we have a much wider choice of plants for these close to house spaces than ever before and through the  MyPlant selection process we now bring many of these exciting plants from our own breeding and our international breeder colleagues for everyone to enjoy and decorate the new ‘outdoor room’......

We are now involved with a customer in USA and I am glad to say little by little we are making sure these plants are selling in USA Gaden Centres also. We work with a company out of Bellingham Washington called Smith Gardens and they sell to a number of the big chains there in USA but I know also a lot of our plants are now making their way more widespread along the West Coast and my Ceanothus Tuxedo has been featured in the Pacific Coast Nursery Magazine over there. Again thanks for your very kind comment.
