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. In the autumn the leaves turn purple again.From May - June the small creamy white inflorescences stand out harmoniously from the purple, yellow and green foliage. 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.

A small variegated Schizophragma ideal for very shady walls  Bright, creamy-white variegated foliage that brightens up shady areas Large, flat inflorescences of fragrant white flowers in July  A delicate little climbing vine that clings to its support by itself

An unusual climber with multiple, intensely blue bell-like flowers Sollya 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.

Perfumed flowers in summer and a superb coral-red foliage in winter In winter its stems and foliage acquire a pronounced, beautiful and decorative coral-red all through the height of the plant.In addition to its winter colours, Trachelospermum jasminoides Winter Ruby® has other advantages over typical jasmines. Its elegant foliage is livelier and brighter. It resists frost better (as low as -17°C), is more persistent and retains its leaves better which don't dry out in winter.Its generous white flowers bloom slightly earlier (between May and July in full sun, from June to September where it's partly shaded) and are all just as perfumed. It doesn't grow as tall (2 to 3 m) as typical jasmines (up to 5 m or more).For its compact form, its natural branching and abundant flowering, Winter Ruby® is an ideal variety for growing in pots with supports of 40 cm to 1.5 m.

Resistant to the Dutch elm disease, our towns and countryside have found the elm again. Tested by INRAE, this hybrid is the result of cross fertilization of six French varieties, plus an English and a Chinese one. It is resistant to the Dutch elm disease.Its bark is smooth. The leaves are quite similar to the common elm tree: asymmetrically toothed, with a rough underside. The deep green foliage is dense. In the autumn it has a beautiful golden yellow tint.In March, before the leaves, grow discreet flowers in the shape of little red globules without petals.Its slender trunk gives LUTECE® a perfect aptitude for a high-stem training, better than Ulmus RESISTA® 'Sapporo Gold'; growing naturally its habit is regular and homogeneous. It also makes a very good shrub. It is fast growing.Perfectly adapted to landscape hedges, this cultivation is equally interesting planted in groups on an embankment for example, but also as individual tree or grown in line if it has been grown as a full standard.The name of LUTÈCE® was given to it in recognition of the help provided by Parks and Gardens Department of the city of Paris for having taken care of a field of experimentation in the Vincennes Park.

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.
