Marco ten Hoope and the Salvia Magical River serial
We asked Kolster ’s breeder , Marco ten Hoope , what makes the three new serial publication different .
Salvia Magical River SeriesTen Hoope : " The force of the Salvia Magical River Series lies in its hardiness and recoverability . The flowering time period is very recollective , from June until the first frost . After a period of uttermost weather condition , which we experience more and more often , this Salvia series grow and blooms smartly again . " Ten Hoope outlines another advantage for growers : " This Salvia series has a very short polish period . In just 10 weeks , the cutting grows into a efflorescence industrial plant . Once in the garden , the Salvia grow into a solid plant . "
The 16 cultivars can be recognized by their name : they are all name after a river , such as Salvia Magical Danube or Yukon . By the way , these two cultivar were awarded a bronze medal at Plantarium|GROEN - Direkt .
Diervilla Magical Series
Diervilla Magical SeriesAnd what makes the Diervilla series limited according to Ten Hoope ? " We have four different cultivars , each with its own colors . This hardy shrub , which grow about 75 cm tall , has flush that contrast nicely with the leafage , especially the two dark - allow for cultivars , Magical Dark Delight and the almost black Magical Starry Night . I also always see lots of bee on our Diervilla , which is an important aspect for us as well as for the consumer . What I also like are the seed seedcase . These give an extra decorative value to the plant life after flower . "
This serial publication also had prize winners at the novelty trials at Plantarium|GROEN - Direkt last August . Both Diervilla Magical Dark Delight and Green Dragon gain bronze .
Nepeta Magical Mr. Blue Sky
Nepeta Magical Mr. Blue SkyFinally , Nepeta Magical Mr. Blue Sky , named after the seventies run into by Electric Light Orchestra because of the sky disconsolate color of its flowers . Ten Hoope says : " This garden plant also attracts dirt ball . It has an unprecedented long inflorescence menstruation from early May to September . The plant is strong and wind - resistant , with a wide erect growth of up to 120 centimeter . The plant makes horticulture easy , as its dense leafage prevents sens growth . What I also like is the benighted purple calyxes that continue to give ornamental value to the plant after flowering . "
Nepeta Magical Mr. Blue Sky also make headway swag , during the Summer Days in Boskoop .
" For all the plant mentioned , they look gravid in borders but also do well in a pot on a terrace . In plus , these robust plants are very desirable for public greenery , " Ten Hoope conceive .
Brenda Sleeuwenhoek
Sleeuwenhoek agreeably surprisedBrenda Sleeuwenhoek is also pleasantly surprised about the attention to the knickknack : " After I started as Marketing Manager at Kolster in January , it is slap-up to see that the Marketing activities are yield fruit . We do n’t do this alone but want to encourage the product together with our client . For example , we underpin them with professional visual stuff , flora label and catchy description of our Magical Garden plant cultivars . Everything to make it as easy as potential for our relations . At the same clock time , we also get confirming feedback from growers . We welcomed hundreds of growers to our glasshouse during the FlowerTrials and several wizardly days this year . We heard first - hired man what they find crucial . And we like to build on that both in terms of fostering and marketing . "
