John Woods Nurseries are celebrating after capturing a top award at the HTA National Plant Show.
Physocarpus Little Devil picked up the title of ‘New Plant Award, Best in Category, Hardy Nursery Stock’ at the annual horticultural showcase, which opened today at Stoneleigh Park in Coventry.
It is the latest accolade for the Suffolk-based supplier of plants who are previewing nine new products at the HTA event, which will be launched next year.
The Physocarpus Little Devil, which was bred in the USA by David Zlesak, is perfect for smaller gardens or where space is limited, reaching a height of just 90cm. The rich plum-purple foliage acts as a great foil to shrubs and perennials, while the white-pink, button-like blooms in June to add another season of interest for this easy to care for shrub.
John Lord, Managing Director of John Woods Nurseries, told The Landscaper “This is absolutely fantastic news, the year just gets better and better for us. What is so great about Physocarpus Little Devil is that this is a wonderful plant which is perfect for the easy gardener. It is an easy plant to maintain.”
