A POPULAR garden centre is backing the Scotland football team in this summer’s European Championship by growing a plant that has TARTAN coloured leaves.
The unique tartan plant has been secretly developed by horticulturists at Cardwell Garden Centre, near Gourock, working with renowned Spanish gardening expert, Professor Raol Di Folpays.Plant leaves get their colours from four types of pigments – chlorophylls, anthocyanins, carotenoids and betalains.
“The horticulturists at Cardwell have done a wonderful job to create the world’s first tartan-coloured plant leaves.” “As soon as news of this amazing experiment came out, supporters from the Tartan Army came up with the idea of planting hundreds of Tartanium Hilaria in Munich’s English Garden, so for at least for the duration of the tournament it will become the Scottish Garden.”Retail general manager at Cardwell Garden Centre, Paul Carmichael said: “We’ve definitely scored a winner with this amazing plant, as it’s extremely popular with the Tartan Army.
