RHS Award Winning Plants
The RHS is Britain’s leading gardening charity and an unparalleled authority on all things horticultural. For over 100 years, the organisation has bestowed its Award of Garden Merit (AGM) on those plants demonstrated to particularly excel in British gardens. It’s a mark of quality that really earmarks the best plants out there. Here at Roots, we’re proud to stock over 150 plant varieties boasting the prestigious award. Who doesn’t love a winner?
