AGM

Plants that from January 2002 have an Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society are indicated with this symbol. The AGM is awarded by a committee of the RHS to plants that have the following qualities:

1 Outstanding excellence for garden decoration or use

1 Available in the trade

1 Of good constitution

1 Require neither highly specialist growing conditions nor care

The AGM does not imply that the plants are suitable for the open garden; an RHS hardiness rating is given for each AGM plant. Careful readers will note that most of our plants do not have an AGM. This does not mean that they are not worth growing! Some of them are new to the RHS too!
