NEW PLANTS AND PLANT LIST

RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2010 - New Plant Introductions 

The Chelsea Flower Show is the premiere gardening show in the world and plants are launched here from all corners of the globe. Hillier have seen the launch of many world-beating plants like Choisya Aztec Pearl and Ceanothus Blue Mound over the years. This year is no exception there are two new fabulous new plants on show.

Digitalis 'Serendipity'

This is an exciting new digitalis hybrid raised at Hillier Nurseries by expert propagator and plantsman Alan Postill; one of series of crosses involving the ground-breaking Digitalis 'Saltwood Summer' shown in The Artist's Garden in 2002. 

'Serendipity' shows the fascinating split tubular flowers and delicately waved petals which give this strain of foxgloves their orchid like appearance. It forms a strong rosette of mid-green leaves and produces tall flower spikes reaching 1.2m or more. 

Planted early in the season it will establish quickly and can either be left to bloom and set seed, some of which will be fertile, or it can be cut back immediately after flowering to form a multi-headed rosette which will produce several spikes the next year. 

Naturally flowering in June it is a lovely plant for naturalistic planting schemes or to associate with roses and perennials in a mixed border. 

Philadelphus maculatus 'Sweet Clare'

A wonderful new Philadelphus with slender stems and small, narrow, silver-green leaves, forming an airy shrub up to 1.2m in height. 

The arching stems carry delicate, downward-facing, white flowers softly blotched with deep crimson in the centre of the flower around golden stamens. 

The scent is heavy, sweet and delicious and stronger than that of most other mock oranges. The plant requires no regular pruning; some of the flowering stems can be removed immediately after flowering every few years to preserve the airy nature of this wonderful shrub. 

An excellent plant for an open sunny position, good on dry soil, excellent on chalk but will grow on any soil type. 

'Sweet Clare', named after Maurice's  daughter, was discovered in the garden of plantsman Maurice Foster by John Hillier. Managing Director Andy McIndoe spotted the plant's potential after planting it in his garden.

Both plants are available in small numbers this year, Sweet Clare from just Hillier Garden Centres and Serendipity from selected Hillier Plant Stockists. Call 01794 368944 or order online at www.hillier.co.uk.
