COLOUR YOUR GARDEN Stand GPF/16 in the Great Pavilion
22-26 May 2007

Notcutts garden for the 2007 Chelsea Flower Show is based on Colour Combinations, showing foliage and flowering plants of contrasting colours, displayed together in small garden settings. The show will also be used to showcase two of our Nursery's specialities: Mattocks Roses and Waterers Ericaceous.

Notcutts Landscapes Director, Jason Lock, has designed this years' exhibit, assisted by Chris Deakin, one of our Senior Designers, based in Woodbridge. Jason has been responsible for the design and staging of Notcutts exhibits since 1998 and so has a wealth of experience in what it takes to make an eye-catching display.

The exhibit makes use of long vistas through the planting, along tranquil formal water features and through spectacular arches clad with colourful climbers.

Mattocks Roses will have their own dedicated part of the exhibit to show the range of forms and colours available. Full details of the range, together with other useful information can be found at www.mattocks.co.uk

The Waterers brand covers ericaceous species such as Rhododendrons, Azaleas and Camellias and draws upon over 175 years of expertise to bring the customer the very best in healthy and vibrant stock, backed up with informative labelling and a new website www.waterersnursery.co.uk

Some of the new plants that we will be displaying on our stand this year are:

Rose 'The Wren' - A Floribunda variety with medium-sized, full, slightly old-English style soft pink blooms that are slightly fragranced. Repeat flowering. This variety has glossy mid-green leaves and has excellent resistance to common garden diseases Grows to 80cm tall. Named to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the formation of the WRNS.

Hydrangea macrophylla 'Zorro' - a new award-winning variety with stunning, almost jet black stems that are a perfect foil for bright blue flowers and mid-green foliage. (Flower colour will change depending on the soil type).

Physocarpus opulifolius 'Summer Wine' - attractive wine-coloured foliage is a feature of this plant, coupled with a dense, compact habit, drawing the best from both parents ('Nana' and 'Diabolo'). White button-like blooms appear in Spring. Grows to 1.5 x 1.5m.

In addition to our plant launches, we are also using the opportunity offered by Chelsea, to help The Dauntless Association to celebrate 90 years since the formation of the WRNS in the First World War. Some details about The Dauntless Association are included in our Chelsea leaflet, available on our exhibit.
