Flourish plant trials!
Some of the plants we feature in the Flourish range are new to us, so we would love you to tell us how they do! Easy as pie: just fill in the form below and submit!
It's helpful for us to know in how sunny a site you grew the plant, the type of soil, if you have had experience with the plant family before, and how experienced and confident you would consider yourself as a gardener - we are as keen to hear from the beginners as we are the experts!
Bear in mind that some of the Flourish plants have been annuals and patio plants that were expected to be shortlived.
You can also email photos to [email protected]
Scroll down further to let us know what types of plants you would like to see featured in the future!

Flourish plant flashback!
It's been four years since we launched our club and we have featured dozens of different plants in that time.
Can't remember what plants you had? Let us jog your memory with a few photos! We are keenest to hear about the Salvias we have featured. Many are classed as half-hardy, meaning it is marginal whether they will survive an average East Anglian winter. Click on the photos to open the slideshow and see names of plants. |
