Johnsons Seeds
New for 2023 from Johnsons Seeds
Twenty-eight varieties have been added to the Johnsons range this season including: Exclusive Verbena Scentsation Red - a highly scented, compact selection ideal for baskets and Gomphrena Atomic Purple, which produces striking coloured flowers for containers, borders and cut flower displays. Antirrhinum Cherry Twist introduces new colourways for snapdragons, with a modern twist. With an upright habit, Celosia Sharon’s feathery flowers provide a lovely contrast in mixed borders.
Perennial Cimicifuga racemose is good for areas of partial shade and Marigold (African) Buttercream F1 offers a sophisticated shade of pale yellow, for both beds and containers. Introduced to support Fleuroselect’s Year of the Salvia, Salvia verticillate is favoured by garden designers for the vividly coloured flowers.
Three new organic flowers have also been introduced: • Organic Coreopsis tinctoria, ideal for cut flowers and a wildlife garden. • Organic Lavender multifida Oregano is an unusual form of this versatile evergreen, great for containers. • Organic Tagetes lucida - a fragrant, anise scented plant with a mass of bright, long-lasting flowers.
New vegetable selections include high quality Aubergine Patio Baby F1, producing numerous egg-size fruits whilst Brussels Sprout Brechin F1 has been introduced for its high yields. Compact Cabbage Marquess F1 is a sweetheart type, perfect for small spaces. Extremely productive and with disease resistance, Courgette Dynasty F1 is a bush variety with smooth-skinned fruit. Pepper (Hot) Jazz provides medium heat and is ideal for container displays on a sunny patio and premium Spinach Amador F1 shows good resistance to bolting and mildew. Popular in rural France, Tomato St Pierre is an heirloom variety, packed with flavour and suitable for outdoor crops. Dwarf French Bean Atlanta is fast growing with outstanding flavour and texture and Coriander Filtro is a reliably productive variety, even in cooler conditions.
The ever popular Johnsons Microgreens seed range now includes Cress and Mustard, providing a traditional taste, perfect for salads and sandwiches.
New to the Johnsons Jekka’s Herbs collection are Bergamot Lemon with intense lemon-scented leaves and unusual Spinach Tree Spinach, for salads. Alyssum Oriental Nights is a star pollinator plant, ideal for summer bedding displays and chic Aster Tower Chamois, a fashionable, stellar explosion-style of aster have both been added to the Johnsons Sarah Raven range.
