The title of the garden’40 Sunbury Road’ also celebrates Peter’s 40 years as gardening correspondent for The Sun.

“The Chelsea Flower Show is the perfect chance for the general public to see what new varieties we have that will be appearing at their local garden centre this May and June and how they can be used in their own gardens.

“The new plants we supplied for HTA’s Chelsea Flower Show garden included:
  • Salvia Little Kiss a new bi-colour salvia.
  • Scabious Kudo White an extremely floriferous new white flowering scabious perfect for patios offering colour from May until frosts.
  • Hydrangea ‘LA Dreamin’ a new bicoloured Hydrangea that produces pink and blue flowers on the same plant.
  • Hydrangea ‘Doppio Bianco’ a beautiful new white double flowering Hydrangea that opens as a lacecap but fills out into a mophead.
  • Lavender ‘The Princess’ a fantastic new hardy French lavender. Bright, fat, vibrant deep pink flags and is a true garden performer.
“We also supplied Ligustrum Sunshine, a bright golden dwarf shrubs that illuminates landscapes. This plant was launched in 2016.”
