Senecio ‘Angel Wings’ wins new product award at Glee

STAFF at Wyevale Nurseries were celebrating yesterday (September 12, 2017) after their new plant Senecio ‘Angel Wings’ won a Glee New Product Award.

Wyevale Nurseries entered the plant into the Best Plants, Seeds and Bulbs category at the trade show at the NEC in Birmingham and were delighted it was named as the winner.

Ben Gregory, Product Development Manager at Wyevale Nurseries in Hereford, said: “We’re thrilled that such a stunning plant has won this prestigious award. Senecio ‘Angel Wings’ is a fantastic plant, fully hardy and suitable for a whole range of garden settings.

“It has extra-large silky and silver-white coloured leaves, which provide a dramatic impact for this easy to grow the plant. Senecio ‘Angel Wings’ also scooped a Bronze Medal at Plantarium 2016. It’s a great tub plant and easily combined with other plants.”

“We have featured the plant in our 2018 promotional catalogue supplement and we’ll have plants available in three-litre pots for May 2018.”

The product selection available from Wyevale Nurseries is enviable across the industry and the talented team regularly introduces new, award-winning plant varieties.

Its main business is to supply garden centres, landscape contractors, local authorities, foresters and landowners with a comprehensive array of trees, shrubs, hedging, herbaceous and specimen plants.
