Evergreen Garden Care Expands With Bee-Friendly CLEAR Range
Following consumer demand and the brand’s ethos to become the sustainable option for gardeners, Evergreen Garden Care (EGC)’s renowned Clear™ brand is excited to introduce the Plant Shield collection: pesticide-free, bee-friendly and made from 98% natural ingredients. This patent-pending formula addresses the growing consumer demand for effective, organic and natural plant protection. Within the new Plant Shield Range, products will include: BugClear™ Plant Shield Spray, RoseClear® Plant Shield Spray, FungusClear® Plant Shield Spray.
As the UK’s No. 1 control brand, Clear™ strives to provide gardeners with innovative products designed specifically with their needs in mind. The bee and pet-friendly Plant Shield range, available from 2024, offers a ground-breaking solution that safeguards plants from pests and diseases even before they can inflict damage. The brand-new range simultaneously enhances plant strength without compromising efficacy. With its unique blend of oils, this 98%natural formula creates a natural barrier and can be used bi-weekly to provide unmatched protection against persistent threats like aphids, scale insects, and rust.
In line with Evergreen Garden Care's commitment to sustainability, the Plant Shield range features 100% recycled plastic packaging. By choosing Clear™, consumers not only protect their plants but also contribute to a greener future for the planet. The Plant Shield range as a whole effectively addresses diseases such as blackspot, powdery mildew, and rust, emphasizing the importance of regular plant checks and preventative treatments. Additionally, it offers solutions for tackling major pests, including whitefly, greenfly, blackfly, red spider mites and mealy bugs.
Janne Hansen, Brand Portfolio Manager, comments: “Consumers are continuing to be increasingly conscious of the decisions they’re making in their home and garden, with nearly 50%(1) preferring to use organic or natural solutions if available.
We’re committed to giving back to the environment and protecting our biodiversity, so it was important that the new range fit within those requirements while helping gardeners to treat their pest and disease issues fast and without compromising on effectiveness.
”Gardeners can also rely on the existing range of RoseClear™, FungusClear™, FlyClear™, MothClear™ and AntClear™ products to keep fruit, vegetables, and ornamentals free from slugs and snails, thanks to a selection of slug and snail pellets and barriers that offer both repelling and killing options. Alongside the Plant Shield range, we are also expanding the existing Clear range to include FungusClear Ultima 2 Concentrate.
