Here's a breakdown of the key aspects of the AGM: What it signifies: Excellent performance: The plant thrives and performs well under typical UK gardening conditions, without requiring excessive care or attention. Availability: The plant is readily available from reputable nurseries and garden centers. Good constitution: The plant possesses inherent strength and resilience, showing resistance to diseases and pests. Stable form and color: The plant retains its expected characteristics, ensuring consistency and predictability in your garden. Reasonably resistant to pests and diseases: While no plant is entirely immune, AGM-winning plants exhibit a lower susceptibility to common garden problems. Awarding process: Plants undergo rigorous trials at RHS gardens or through expert observation in specialist collections. Trials typically last for one or more years, depending on the plant type. A panel of horticultural experts evaluates the plants based on the aforementioned criteria. Awards are only given to plants that meet all the required standards. Benefits for gardeners: Provides assurance of a plant's suitability and performance in UK gardens. Helps save time and money by avoiding plants that might struggle or perform poorly. Introduces you to a curated selection of reliable and high-quality plants. Offers a valuable reference point when planning and selecting plants for your garden.
