Streptocarpus wins top award


Well done to Lynne Dibley, whose unusual dolly mixture shaded Streptocarpus ‘Harlequin Blue’ was named as the 2010 Royal Horticultural Society Chelsea Plant Of The Year.

I tipped this plant to top the voting at the inaugural Plantsman Conference - and it polled a massive 29 votes from specialist growers.

Streptocarpus are one of those plants that gardeners either love or hate but they are surprisingly easy to grow and maintain. This one is bound to encourage converts!
