Swinging in flower garden

Description:Palmstead Nurseries, which sells plants to garden designers for households, commercial gardens and public spaces, says the plant has fallen out of favour. Many nurseries have stopped stocking it entirely, and even large suppliers have seen numbers plummet, as buyers shun the plant for fear of what it means. Most nurseries which still sold them said they tended to sell the Pumila variety, which is a, smaller, "dwarf" version of the larger plant. Nick Coslett, the company's marketing manager, said it had fallen out of fashion in part because it was seen as a signal that swingers lived in a house. It grows to around five feet 1. A decade ago the firm, based in Ashford, Kent, was selling an average of of the plants every year.
