Summer is the time to see the best of British breeders' and suppliers' ranges, says Gavin McEwan reporting on UK bedding trials.
Despite retiring in 2009 after 46 years working mainly in the public sector parks service, Nigel Bishop is still putting his immense horticultural knowledge to good use.
The latest thinking on plant marketing was on display at the recent Flower Trials in the Netherlands, Gavin McEwan reports.
Examining how you got to where you are can help you work out where to go next, says Leslie Kossoff.
Both as bedding and a perennial this plant is a good doer in the garden, says Miranda Kimberley.
What went wrong for garden retail sales with a season that started with so much promise? Gavin McEwan investigates.
A drop in sales volume over last year has been compensated for by price increases.
Local deal websites and specialist platforms are widening marketing opportunities, says Leslie Kossoff.
Retailers looking to extend the bedding plant season must use innovative approaches to inspire gardeners to buy, maintains Graham Clarke.
Despite a slight market slowdown companies continue to innovate, says Matthew Appleby.
