THE BRESSINGHAM GARDENS Welcome to our Spring 2017 catalogue where we have 22 new, previously unfeatured varieties for you to choose from as well as 43 that have been given the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit. This means that they have all been thoroughly trialled and tested by them at Wisley Gardens and been found to be the best of the best and have been deservedly recognised so that gardeners can be assured of their pedigree and performance. Our front cover this year is devoted to a wonderful new Aster that we have had on trial in the Gardens here at Bressingham for the last two years. Aster ‘Small-ness’ was found by Dr Hugh McAllister of the famous Ness Gardens on the Wirral in Liverpool. Thought to be a three species cross between A. laevis x A. lateriflorus x A. dumosa ‘Professor Kippenburg’ it successfully combines the best characteristics of all three. It produces an unrivalled display of light pink, red centred flowers that completely cover a compact, neat mound of foliage. It is drought tolerant and is completely free mildew, the bane of many Asters, all in all unbeatable. Also new is the beautifully pastel, multi coloured Echinacea ‘Cheyenne Spirit’ that has the depth and breadth of colours seen in many of the new cultivars from the USA but with one important characteristic that they miss, that being it is completely hardy and reliably perennial, creating a magnificent display year after year. Two new bright Coreopsis ‘Sterntaler’ and ‘Garnet’ will not disappoint with all summer long displays of bright yellow and intense pink flowers respectively, both well suited to the garden or patio container. Brunnera macrophylla ‘Looking Glass’ com- bines both foliage and flower to stunning effect forming a neat mound of bright, fully silver foliage over which delicate sprays of sky blue flowers are held in mid to late spring, makes a fantastic patio container as well as garden plant. We also have two new selections of Salvia, Salvia ‘Rugen’ which is a densely compact selection with intense, vivid blue spikes and Salvia ‘Schwellenburg’ which has more open, fat, fluffy spikes of rose-purple in summer. Both are long flowering and highly attractive to bees and butterflies alike. This gives you but a small flavour of what’s new in the catalogue this year with many, many more wonderful perennials and grasses available on our website www.bress- inghamgardens.com As many of our existing customers will know all of our plants are supplied as established 2 litre pots and are supplied at some of the keenest prices available in the mail order perennial market today, indeed many other mail order com- panies are more expensive than us for 9cm pots. We have this year kept our prices the same as they have been now for many years providing you with the best value and quality for your money. However with increased input prices over many years now we will be having to put up our prices moderately next year to reflect this.
