Look out for new varieties of Roses, Cordyline and Erysimum wallflowers among many others – the colour and scent will be truly amazing! Britain is home to some of the best growers in the world, and every year the quality and choice of varieties gets better and better. At Squire’s we always try to support local growers, in fact 80% of our plants are grown in Britain, many from nurseries that are very local indeed. This promotes our brilliant British nursery sector and reduces plant miles.”
