Plant selection for Thompson & Morgan’s 2020 spring range is well underway. As always, full details are kept secret until the launch, but a source at the company has highlighted a couple of plants that promise to be amongst the stars of the new range. Namely, Begonia ‘MacaRouge’, a bright red variety with golden yellow stamens, and to add to the Busy Lizzie ‘Wild Romance’ range, a double-bloomed red and a white version of this popular impatiens. The first in the range, Busy Lizzie ‘Wild Romance Pink Blush’ will be available again for the 2020 season; all three will be sold separately and as a trio collection.
