What Happened to Blooming High After Dragons’ Den?
Blooming High appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2010, Series 8 Episode 4. The business was a plant stacking container with watering tube. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2022.
The Pitch
Lisa Marshall and Shelene Mitchell walked into the Den in 2010 with a plant stacking container with watering tube. They were asking for £50,000 in exchange for 15% of the business.
Despite their best efforts, the pitch didn’t convince the Dragons to open their wallets.
The Deal
No deal was made. The Dragons weren’t persuaded to invest, and Lisa Marshall and Shelene Mitchell left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Blooming High did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2022, some 12 years after the pitch.
This is not an unusual outcome. The majority of businesses that appear on Dragons’ Den, deal or no deal, don’t make it in the long run. The show can provide a platform and capital, but it can’t substitute for a sustainable business model.
Is Blooming High Still in Business?
No. Blooming High is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
