The 2015 RHS Plant Finder is out, these are the ten new plants available from the most different nurseries.
It’s not the forsythia and or the cherry blossom that tell us that spring is here, it’s not the daffodils or the tulips. It’s the arrival, with a very heavy thud, of the new edition of the RHS Plant Finder! And it’s now out.

With more than 70,000 plants included and the nurseries listed that stock each one and with almost 600 nurseries covered, this is the indispensible guide to where to buy the plants you need. All the names are verified by RHS botanists.
This new edition includes around 3,500 new additions, plants that have never been included in the
RHS Plant Finder before. Many of these are absolutely brand new. And while many are listed by just one nursery - this is why you need the book, how are you going to find that nursery otherwise? – some of the newcomers are stocked by a range of nurseries.
