Always at the forefront of garden trends, one of the highlights of the RHS Chelsea Flower Show is the celebration of new plants, which are officially launched at the show.
The latest brand new, inspiring plant varieties compete for the coveted title of 'Plant Of The Year' and, this year, one of the shortlisted varieties was a new daffodil called 'King Charles'. Its trumpet is almost orange at the tip, shading paler at the base, and its petals are pale yellow with a white central zone – very pretty.
The plants competing for 'Plant Of The Year' have been developed by breeders all over the world, and several unique varieties were created by nurseries in the US. Here, we take a closer look at those plants, what makes them special, and how you can get hold of them to add to your own backyard ideas.
It's always exciting to discover brand new plant varieties, and learn where they were developed. These particular plants, bred in Michigan nurseries, would be well suited to hot climates and desert planting. Read on to find out more.
