Excellent alignement tree resistant to Dutch Elm Disease. Selected, tested and compared by INRAE, notably in a plantation in the Vincennes forest in Paris since 1983, this elm selection shows a good resistance to Dutch Elm Disease, and this without suffering damage through other agents, such as insects, pathogenes fungi or summer drought.The strong green foliage honeycombed, toothed and well veined is similar to the indigenous European elms.It is of upright growth, slimmer and higher than LUTECE®.VADA® has all the qualities of an excellent alignment tree, or planted individually.

For a country style hedge resistant to Dutch Elm Disease. Natural hybrid between Ulmus pumilla and Ulmus davidiana var japonica, first discovered in the Sapporo Botanical Gardens, RESISTA® has undergone many tests by INRAE and the Service for the Protection of Plants. It has revealed to be resistant to the Dutch Elm Disease, which has ravaged the elms in our towns and countryside. A very vigorous tree, it can reach 20 m high and 6 m wide in good growing conditions. It is slightly smaller than our traditional elms. Its light green foliage turns golden yellow in autumn. The first elm to be resistant to Dutch Elm Disease, it goes well in country style hedges without resembling the Ulmus glabra.

Small shrub with surprising contrasts: white flowers on dark foliage.This new variety, resulting from crossbreeding carried out by INRAE in Angers, is valued for its compact and dwarf form and for the contrast between its dark foliage and white flowers. BLACK AND WHITE® is the first Weigela variety with these remarkable characteristics.Of medium growth with very short internodes, this shrub stays within small dimensions.The deciduous dark green leaves gradually develop a pretty purple colouring through the seasons.In May - June, the ends of the branches are covered in bouquets of pure white trumpet- shaped flowers with a very attractive tapered purple-red base, a delicate reminder of the colour of the young leaves.BLACK AND WHITE® should be planted in pots or in small borders, together with perennials and low shrubs. It prefers a sunny position, but tolerates light shade.Trophies: Bronze Medal at PLANTARIUM 2009 (Boskoop - NETHERLANDS)

Ideal for small spaces. NAIN ROUGE® is very original due to its truly compact shape: it grows into a round bush, 0.80 to 1 m high and wide. The foliage is elongated and wavy and is very attractive in autumn when it turns bright red.The flowers in May - June are bright red and have prominent marks and white stamens, which contrast well with the colour of the petals.Its small dimensions are an asset: grown in pots, rockeries as bed edging plants... in small gardens, but also in large groups as ground cover in public gardens.

Intense charm and fragrance, with superb coppery spring foliageThis variety of Chinese wisteria is original for its young coppery foliage, which turns bright green in spring.In spring, it offers large, fragrant, violet-blue inflorescences contrasting with the colors of the foliage. A flush of flowers also appears in summer.Use along a wall or pergola.
