At our stand we presented novelties introduced in our summer offer – new Clematis cultivars and other climbers, low ground covers and fruit shrubs. Three exceptionally promising Actinidias introduced in our offer this summer enjoyed special interest:

• Actinidia arguta 'Bingo'^PBR,
• Actinidia arguta SCARLET SEPTEMBER KIWI^® 'Mirzan',
• Actinidia kolomikta ‘Vitakola’^PBR.

In the novelty contest our Actinidia kolomikta ‘Vitakola’^PBR received honourable mention for its plentifulness and frost hardiness as well as for tasty fruit  - the largest in all Actinidia kolomikta cultivars. More about our novelties...

In the remaining part of our exposition we displayed a selection of Clematis raised by Szczepan Marczyński – a dozen most attractive ones of the recently raised, presented as Szczepan Marczyński Clematis Collection. The queen of this year's collection was 'Maria Skłodowska Curie'^PBR of stunning white double flowers. 

This year we also promoted perennial Clematis, still relatively unknown in Poland even though their easy maintenance as well as the length and abundance of their blooming delights gardeners all over the world. The Japanese cultivar 'Little Artist' of bright violet-blue flowers similar to violets conquered the visitors' hearts.

 

We had the honour to partner the showpiece garden contest, as this year the display at the entrance to the exhibition had this additional function. Palmett, the garden designer, divided the space around the green pavilion into six „front garden” stands. Our plants adorned a stand named „In the land of vines” designed by Tomasz Rynkiewicz of CELTIS. Its lush greenery was captivating. Clumps of blooming perennial Clematis (Clematis 'Little Artist', 'Cassandra', 'Pink Dwarf') and ground covers (Euonymus fortunei 'Alba Variegata') were crossed with a low hedge of a contrasting colour.  The path to the house was outlined with vines twining around metal arches  that formed the entrance gates (fruit bearing Vitis 'Zilga').
