As we celebrate 30 years of Perch Hill we felt there was no better place to mark this than at RHS Chelsea Flower Show, where we’ll bring a taste of our cutting garden to life — in central London. And as sustainability is such a talking point at this year’s show, we didn’t want to miss the opportunity to be part of such an important conversation.
So, with green futures, sustainable planning and biodiversity in mind, here are our ‘Best in Show’ varieties which have been trialled and tested over three decades, right here at Perch Hill. Each selected for their brilliance, colour, abundance and overall resilience—so whether your plot is big or small, urban or rural, there really is something for every gardener within these pages.

perennials
When I started gardening here at Perch Hill, we were devoted to production. But, the longer I garden, the keener I am for things to roll on from year to the next without us needing to sow and grow every plant again, every year. That’s what these next pages are about—our most strongly recommended perennials, climbers, shrubs and roses which have excelled for many years in the garden here. Aspect: Full sun unless stated otherwise.
Perfect Backlit Border Pair
Two of my absolute favourite stalwarts of the late summer and autumn. These magenta and amethyst spires took on an almost ethereal quality at the end of each day as the sun set behind them.

Finding the perfect plants for your border needn’t be daunting. Make sure the soil condition, size and position are right, then go with your gut. Perennials you love will give you pleasure for years.
Sarah’s Soft Border Collection
Here you’ve got the plants and flowers for a soft-coloured, romantic and ethereal border that feels restful and calm for sunny summer days. Gentle, but not too polite, this lot group together into a fluffy and spire-studded cloud. Aspect: Full sun, part shade. a June-August. H.90cm

We’re taking big leaps towards securing a greener future starting with our Lincolnshire nursery, Rookery Farm. As of 2024, everything we produce at our nursey will grow in nutrient-rich peat-free soil to protect precious wetlands and maximise plant health. So, along with generating our own bio-thermal power, sustainable product innovations and advanced water conservation efforts, this is another exciting step on our environmental journey.

We have nearly 400 pots scattered around the garden here at Perch Hill. What follows is what I judge to be the cream of the crop— my stellar favourite collections and individuals.

Velvet Shade Pot Collection
I’m in danger of saying this too often... but REALLY, you have to wrap yourself up in this lot and go to a party - or if you don’t feel like it, just tuck yourself in and go to sleep. This trio grew very happily in our Dutch Yard against the farmhouse in dappled shade. The one thing we had to do was cut a few tresses off the petunia every month or so, to stop it swallowing up the others. Or, grow each plant in its own pot and stand them in a group.

pelargoniums
Aspect: Full sun. a June-November TP
If I were to choose a family of plants to keep in pots outside through summer and autumn, then inside for winter, it would be pelargoniums. They’re long-flowering, often have fragrant leaves, are drought-tolerant and unbelievably easy to maintain. A winner for me.
Country House
Pelargonium Collection
Leave to flower outside all summer and autumn, then bring into the house for winter. As someone who loves to be outside as much as possible, I struggle a bit in the cold months with low light levels and few flowers from November until March, but this group sustains me well.

Scented Pelargonium Collection
I’m obsessed with these four scented-leaved pelargoniums. I pick the foliage for very long-lasting arrangements; use the edible flowers to decorate puddings, and harvest the leaves all the time to use as flavouring and to make delicious cordials (see our website for recipe ideas). PLUS, they look fantastic. H.45cm

seeds
Sarah Raven started as a seed business, with me packing seeds at my kitchen table and hand painting the covers of our seed catalogue. It is still one of the greatest pleasures of my life, sowing and growing things from seed. There are few things more satisfying than turning what looks like dust or a lump of grit into great lines and hedges of flowers in a few short months. My advice is go for it—I’m pretty certain that you’ll love it too.

dahlias
In 2024, I am clearer than ever about my two favourite plant groups that need to go into the garden at this time of year. The first is dahlias and the second is cosmos (see page 36).
I love dahlias for a number of reasons. They’re easy to grow and depending on the variety, are ideal for pots, borders and vases. They are good for biodiversity—singles, collerettes and anemoneflowered varieties are loved by butterflies and bees, and they also flower for such a long spell, from July through to late-October. Aspect: Full sun.
We first sold this in 2009 and I still absolutely love it

The Raven Dahlia Collection
My four favourite dahlias, named after our family and where we live. There are two brilliant for picking, with exceptional vase lives (‘Molly’ and ‘Perch Hill’), and two thick with pollen and nectar to feed the pollinators (‘Sarah’ and ‘Rosie’). So, as well as being beautiful, this group covers my two main reasons for gardening—a harvest for us and the bees. H.1.2m

I love my vegetable garden, where I wander to my carefully-stocked personal greengrocer so that I can harvest lunch or supper.
Super Bountiful Edible Collection
Our selection of tried-and-tested container-happy veg is ideal for troughs and larger pots, where they can grow all in the same pot or adjacent. The key thing is to keep picking as often as you can. These crops are all cut and come again and thrive on harvesting.
Harvest: All year round.

Best for Pots Seed Collection
As more and more of us are living in towns and cities, with minimal growing space, we’ve been trialling varieties to find the best pot-happy forms of our favourite veg. Harvest: All year round.
