A rising star for retail sales in 2021 introduced by Ball Colegrave. Circus Sky has an interesting colour break, quite different from the previous Sky varieties.

The rich pink flowers have a combination of star effect spotting and stripes, making this a real head-turner in garden centre sales displays.

The habit is similar to NightSky; a strong, semi-trailing habit with excellent branching, early flowering and good weather tolerance. A ‘must have’ for premium 1 litre pot and basket programmes.

Hardy Plant Focus: Crab apple (Malus) — star billing for showy fruits

Often in the shadow of the flowering cherries, crab apples should have star billing in their own right because their showy, late-summer fruits often give them one more season of interest than their blousy relatives — and provide essential nourishment for birds and other wildlife in autumn and winter.
