Giveaway #171 : Win flowery bags for life from Tesselaar International - closed - winners @NickHopkins1234 @tinkertink2010



Tesselaar International have offered to give away some big sturdy bags for life featuring some of their fabulous plants : Tropicanna and the Bluestorm Agapanthus.


TROPICANNA BLACK® canna from international horticultural and marketing company, Tesselaar International, joins TROPICANNA canna (var. ‘Phasion’) and TROPICANNA® GOLD canna (var. MACtro ) to complete a spectacular trio of plants. TROPICANNA BLACK’S combination of colours is truly striking. Contrasting the magnificent shades of its purple and black leaves are the rich scarlet and orange flowers that appear from spring through to autumn. The canna genus is native to the new world, from the southern United States to northern Argentina. Despite these exotic origins, however, the plant is tough and versatile and will thrive with minimum care and attention once established. This makes it possible to combine TROPICANNA BLACK with TROPICANNA and TROPICANNA GOLD to create a visually stunning garden display.

With a suggested retail selling price (SRSP) of £5.99, TROPICANNA BLACK can be found at garden centres across the UK, including DIY stores such as B&Q and Homebase.  Prices may vary depending on container size and retail outlet.


BlueStorm™ Agapanthus, a patented agapanthus from Tesselaar International launched to the UK in 2007, offers lots more of what gardeners love agapanthus for. 

The abundant-flowering BlueStorm™ Agapanthus consistently blooms longer than most agapanthus, flowering on average 70 days per season (up to

two-three weeks longer than other varieties).  It is extremely floriferous, producing an abundance of light violet blue flowers.  When mature, this vigorous plant bears up to 100 flower stems per plant per season, all bursting forth together in a mass of long-lasting blooms.  

              
BlueStorm™ grows to a compact 70 to 85 cm, a preferred height for landscapes and container plantings.  Most other agapanthus are either much taller or shorter.
