Upright branches covered in a profusion of pure white flowers in spring
Exochordas are shrubs that will delight in the spring with their extremely pure white flowers. The variety MAGICAL SPRINGTIME® is a recent selection whose branches are upright and covered from top to bottom in flowers in April and May. Its straight, lightly spreading habit differenciates it from the variety 'The Bride' whose branches are more arched and habit more weeping. This shrub requires no maintenance. It flowers on both the current year's wood and on older wood, and with the right conditions will flower again in the summer.
The pyramide shaped maidenhair tree.
Its moderate dimensions and its pyramide shaped even growth allows this beautiful Ginkgo selection to be used in gardens, planted in rows and grown in large containers.'Blagon' is spectacular in the autumn due to its golden yellow colour. For 30 years, the original stock plant has still not told the secret of its «flowers», meaning we still don't know if it is a male of female tree.It is rustic, resistant and adapts well to urban conditions.
The most narrow of the Ginkgos'Menhir' is of special interest as it is very narrow. Its column shape and its reduced width allow it to be planted in rows or individually, in public parks as well as in smaller gardens.Its growth is vigorous and robust from an early age on.The fairly serrated leaves are of a blue shade of green-grey. Their golden-yellow tint in autumn is long-lasting.A male variety, without production of 'fruit'.
Bright shades of pink and purple.DOLCE® Gipsy is bushy and well branched, producing an abundance of flowers.It has average growth and a round shape.In June and July, this very floriferous shrub is covered in flowers of an original shade of pink, thanks to its many flat flower heads. The large crown of sterile, white, pale pink and then dark pink flowers, contrasts with the large darker ring of smaller fertile flowers.The the young purple leaves complete the harmony.In shrub beds, Farfalle, Fragola, Gipsy and Kiss, all of them part of the DOLCE® range, blend in harmoniously. They can also be grown in pots to embellish terraces and balconies all through the summer.
SO LONG®: a range of re-flowering hydrangeasEbony: a cultivation with black stemsEbony 'MONMAR' presents the characteristics of the SO LONG® range grouping the hydrangeas capable of flowering on current year's growth.The ball-shaped inflorescences of 15 cm diameter are supported by solid, allmost black stems. The corymbs are composed of numerous sterile flowers of approximately 3 cm, violet pink in alkaline soil or blue in acid conditions, flowering for three weeks. When wilting the flower heads turn green, spattered with creamy white and can also be picked to go in a dried flower arrangement.This variety is of vigorous growth. Associated in particular to SO LONG® Rosy, Ebony embellishes beds or containers all summer long.

Handsome creamy white panicles contrasting with upright dark red stems
Candlelight® has large creamy white cone-shaped panicles on upright dark red stems. The contrast between flower and stem is striking. The open panicles carry both sterile and fertile flowers. As summer advances, the flowers take on soft shades of gentle pink which become increasingly pronounced until the panicles are a strong dark pink. The Hydrangea paniculata CANDLELIGHT® is a particularly upright and branched shrub. Thanks to its vigorous and vertical growth, its flowers remain firm all summer. Growing no higher than 1.5 m, it can be planted either in boxes or in the ground, singly or in mixed beds.
