Call to enter competition
We, at the horticultural conservation charity
Plant Heritage, are calling for garden and plant enthusiasts across the UK to enter our “Threatened Plant of the Year
2021” competition.
Now in its second year, the competition showcases rare and unusual garden plants that are not currently available commercially or haven’t been consistently available to buy from garden centres or nurseries.
They must be named cultivars that have been grown or sold in the UK or Ireland prior to 2005.
Anyone can enter this competition (you don’t have to be a Plant Heritage member) and cultivars from any plant group can be entered, so long as the entry requirements are met.
The competition runs until Saturday, May 15, 2021.
To find out more and to enter, visit www. plantheritage.org.uk/ conservation/threatenedplant-of-the-yearcompetition
After applications close, a shortlist will be drawn up by an expert panel from Plant Heritage.
Those shortlisted will be displayed at the RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival in July (Covid-19 allowing), where the winner will be crowned and will receive the Threatened Plant of the Year 2021 trophy, a winner’s certificate and a special plant label.
