We sat down with @the_carol_klein to find out more about the inspiration behind her RHS Iconic Horticultural Hero Garden at #RHSHamptonCourt 2023 🌱 The garden focuses on two themes: growing your own and going along with nature. Carol explains how growing from seed or cuttings allows you to experience an intimate relationship with the plants in your garden, whilst emphasising the importance of allowing the soil and habitat where your plants will live to serve as the primary source of inspiration for your garden’s design. #GrowYourOwn #gardeninspiration #gardendesign #habitat #horticulture

Plants can be lost to climate change pests and diseases, changes in plant trade or simply by falling out of fashion. Every year, @plantheritage, who are celebrating their 45th anniversary at #RHSHamptonCourt, ask gardeners to nominate unusual, rare or special cultivars not currently available commercially and in danger of disappearing altogether. The 2023 winner of RHS Threatened Plant of the Year is Chaenomeles speciosa ‘Contorta’ 💮 Originally from Japan and first imported into the USA in 1929 as the cultivar ‘Rinho’ is one of only two surviving Chaenomeles cultivars in the UK to have tortuous branches. It flowers with pink-tinged white blooms from early February until late March. Find out more about Plant Heritage and see Chaenomeles speciosa at RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival until 9 July 2023. #PlantHeritage #Horticulture #rhshamptoncourtpalacegardenfestival

Meet some of the floral favourites that are taking #RHSHamptonCourt by storm this year! 🌼 Achillea – As seen in @the_carol_klein's RHS Iconic Horticultural Hero Garden, these low-maintenance perennials come in a multitude of colours and are suitable for a wide range of soils. As well as being a rich source of pollen, achilleas also have a long flowering season... What’s not to love! 🌼 Agapanthus – These show-stoppers are enduringly popular for their stunning heads of pure blue, purple or white flowers, held proudly aloft on tall stems. But don’t let their delicate appearance fool you – these perennials are tougher than they look, and are extremely resistant to drought and heat, as reflected by their inclusion in the RHS Resilient Garden. 🌼 Penstemon ‘Heavenly Blue’ - As spotted in The Oregon Garden, Penstemon ‘Heavenly Blue’ lives up to its name with its pure blue flowers, which is unusual in a penstemon. Its short height makes it ideal for containers and for the front of borders. Discover all twelve of this year’s top plant picks via the link in our bio.
