Hebe ‘Rhubarb and Custard’ from Tully Nurseries has been crowned ‘Best in Show’ from over 100 entries at the New Plant Awards on the opening morning of the UK National Plant Show taking place in Coventry in the UK.
With its spiky foliage, nice rounded habit and the added benefit of cream, pink and green foliage Hebe ‘Rhubarb and Custard’ is set to be a popular plant for its year round colour and lilac flowers in June and July. It is an evergreen plant which is easy to grow, and will be available for sale in 2013 in Tully Nurseries Plant Centre and all leading garden centres throughout the country. Hebe ‘Rhubarb & Custard’ is part of Tully Nurseries new Bella Bloom branded Hebe collection.
In business for over 30 years, Tully Nurseries has become one of Ireland’s largest nurseries growing over 1 million plants per annum. They have one of the best selection of plants in Ireland which they sell under their ‘Winning Plants’ brand and retail from their plant centre in North County Dublin.
Chair of the judging panel, David Gilchrist comments, “With such a huge selection of fantastic new plants across all categories the judges were spoilt for choice. Hebe ‘Rhubarb and Custard’ really stands out as an extremely saleable plant with a good shelf life that is easy to grow. With its striking foliage and lilac flowers it has the ‘wow’ factor and within a plantarea will catch the eye of the gardening public presenting tremendous potential for garden retailers.”
