“I was delighted to be joined by Martin, Niamh and Padraig Tully in Government Buildings today where they presented me with their homegrown winner of the best plant for 2013, Hebe ‘Rhubarb and Custard’. Developed over a five year period at Tully Nurseries, Ballyboughal, Co Dublin, this distinctive evergreen plant would be ideal for all gardens and I wish them all the best with it both here and in the UK. “
It’s Spring and time to get back into the garden with new ideas and new colour. New to the market and winner of the best new plant for 2013 is Hebe ‘Rhubarb & Custard’. Since winning the Bord Bia and HTA awards last year at the Irish & UK National Shows, Tully Nurseries has had huge demand for this plant from home and abroad.

It can be planted in the garden or in patio containers.
