A serenade of brilliant coloursThe compound and toothed leaves are at first purple brown as the buds burst, then turn bronze to golden yellow and end up light green. The shrub thus shows different shades simultaneously, giving it a shimmery effect. Plant in a sunny position to show off all these colours at their best.

They are followed by black berries at the end of summer and in autumn.The shape of the shrub is erect and well branched.Among others for the decorative effect of its foliage, SERENADE is best used in beds and free standing hedgerows.

An unusual climber with multiple, intensely blue bell-like flowersSollya heterophylla is an attractive and abundant climber for gardens where the climate is mild. It flowers freely from June to September. Its blue bell-like flowers spread from the junction with its leaves. This new variety, ULTRA BLUE, produces flowers that are larger and of a deeper, more luminous blue than the typical variety. Its habit is also better branched. Its twigs and leaves are fine but dense. The whole gives the impression of a well-developed climbing shrub from which emerge numerous tiny bells of blue.It's essentially a woody plant with herbaceous vegetation. In open ground Sollya heterophylla ULTRA BLUE should be limited to sheltered gardens in mild, coastal or Mediterranean climates, since it has a low resistance to frost. Easy to cultivate, it has a good resistance to drought. Grown in a large pot, it will decorate a terrace or patio during the warm months and can be over-wintered under glass or in a veranda.

A novelty for the Sorbaria genus : foliage with long lasting colours, a growth that stays compact Concerning the Sorbaria species, where novelties are rare, PINK HOPI® 'COUSORB05' has been chosen for its qualities, different from those of 'Sem'.The compound, serrated foliage is delicate, light and harmoniously layered. It is a remarkable plant, due to its young variegated shoots which are red, pink and cream, then veined with white. Bud burst is extremely precocious, starting in early March. The shoots withstand the cold (at least up to -3° C). The colourful period lasts a month longer than in the traditional varieties, the shrub shines until the end of Mai. Later, in the summer, the foliage turns green.The shape of PINK HOPI® has the additional advantage of staying compact and this selection produces less suckers. Its dense foliage makes it a good ground cover.The white flower panicles bloom in June - July.The shrub does not need any maintenance (neither treating nor pruning). It is very hardy.

The first Spirea betulifolia dressed in pinkThis Spirea has a very compact growth like a dense pillow and a ground cover. It has bright light green foliage. This is the first selection of the Betulifolia species whith coloured corymbs. It is generous in small light pink flowers during May-June; then, if it is cut back again after the first flowering, a second, somewhat lighter one follows at the end of summer.A beautiful innovation in the small shrubs, perfectly adapted in very cold regions.

Radiant foliage with evolving colours, an even and compact formLittle Flame® is a fine improvement on the variety 'Goldflame', being neater and more compact in growth, very solid and resistant to powdery mildew. It's particularly admired for its glossy leaves of changing colours. In spring, the tips of the young shoots are bronze-orange. The leaves become yellow, then a golden green throughout the summer, acquiring beautiful coppery-orange tints in autumn. Its carmine rose flowers appear in umbels in summer.
