RHS Malvern Spring Festival - plant list

The plants showcased in this garden mirror those thriving in The Laskett garden, particularly in early May. Despite varying growing conditions this year, some late flowering plants are featured. Although not all trees originate from The Laskett, they’ve been part of its evolution. Notably, the majestic pair of Prunus Royal Burgundy which will be replanted at The Laskett in honour of the King’s Coronation.
