Thompson & Morgan mail order plants and
gardening sundries are to be brought to life on TV screens from January as the
horticultural specialist teams up with QVC UK, the leading video and ecommerce
retailer, to offer viewers a range of quality garden products through 2016.
Resident QVC gardening specialist Richard
Jackson will be joined on screen by Thompson & Morgan plant expert Michael
Perry across the year, offering a wide range of exclusive deals on the plant
specialist’s bestselling plants and gardening goods.
The new partnership starts on 2nd
January with Michael joining Richard to offer viewers the first chance to buy new
and exclusive Thompson & Morgan products ready for the 2016 gardening
season. Expect to see amazing deals on products such as new giant-flowered
Begonia ‘Majestic Mixed’ – 6inch (5cm) blooms sit above rich, luxurious foliage
to provide five months of floral colour, right up to the first frosts of
autumn. Later in the month Michael will introduce viewers to Fuchsia ‘Mr Blue
Sky’, a world exclusive for the seed and plant specialist. This fantastic new form carries true blue flowers that drip from cascading
stems. It’s set to be a big talking point in hanging baskets and patio
container displays in summer 2016.
Thompson & Morgan
Horticultural Director Paul Hansord said: “We’ve worked closely with QVC in the
past and it’s great to be teaming up with them again in 2016, it’s a perfect
brand fit. We pride ourselves on our catalogue and online offering but to be
able to show live product to viewers on screen allows us to really show their
quality and performance while providing some excellent offers for gardeners. We
are a multi-platform gardening retailer and working with QVC provides a further
outlet for gardeners to shop at their convenience.”
