Awarded beauty...

Look at these fantastic Choisyas. The green leaf one is Choisya Ternata and the yellow leaf one is Sundance. Sundance is fantastic for all year round interest as it's golden yellow leaves really lift a border and both varieties are great for attracting wildlife. The Royal Horticultural Society has given both of these plants its prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM).

The AGM is intended to be of practical value to the home gardener. It is awarded therefore only to a plant that meets the following criteria:
- It must be of outstanding excellence for ordinary garden decoration or use
- It must be available
- It must be of good constitution
- It must not require highly specialist growing conditions or care
- It must not be particularly susceptible to any pest or disease
- It must not be subject to an unreasonable degree of reversion in its vegetative or floral characteristics

Look for the AGM trophy cup logo on plant labels.
