Sweet Pea Nightingale

This bright and vibrant Spencer type is proudly named after the 7 NHS Nightingale Hospitals that were set up as part of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and to honour all our amazing healthcare workers.

These eye-catching, bright blooms will bring a smile to your face with their marble-effect petals and even though this year has been very difficult and tough, Britain’s favourite flower will help remind us of better times and how lucky we are to have our NHS, and to them, we say thank you.
