Last Updated on January 15, 2024 by the Dobies Horticultural Team
Virtual RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2021 has arrived, and Dobies brings you floral inspiration with our Group’s ‘Plant of the Year’ award nominees for 2021!
This year, the RHS Chelsea Flower Show has been moved to September for the first time in its 108-year history. This means that the flowers on show will be delightfully different to those usually bred to be Best in Show each May.
But there’s no need to wait until September – RHS Virtual Chelsea, 17-21 May, is returning in the special gardening month of May and to celebrate, Dobies is sharing our Group’s RHS Chelsea 2021 ‘Plant of the Year’ nominees – fabulous flowers and vivacious veg to inspire you!
So, although this year’s competition is taking place in September, you can get ahead of the game and buy potential award-winning plants before everyone else and appreciate them this summer!
Plant of the Year Nominees 2021
Introducing our Group’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show ‘Plant of the Year 2021’ nominees! These show-stopping, high-performing and breeding breakthrough varieties are sure to inspire you!
The most variegated perennial on the market!
Polemonium Plant – Golden Feathers
The bright golden variegation on this brand-new perennial makes it a real show-stopper. The broad golden edge to each leaf is what helps to make this plant unique and stand out in the garden all season – even when not in flower. The lavender or lilac-coloured flowers are set off wonderfully by the
foliage.

One of the best new shrubs on the market!
Cercis canadensis Plant – ‘Eternal Flame’®
This is a real winner and in our opinion is the best Cercis on the market. Its main benefit, which is completely unique, is the stunning foliage that emerges as bright glossy red and when it fades it still remains a lovely burnt orange and then to yellow.
Cercis canadensis ‘Eternal Flame’® has been introduced to the 2021 market through an exciting collaboration between Hillier and Suttons. This joint venture will ensure that this wonderful new variety is made available to the widest range of gardeners via multiple sales channels.

Ones to Watch 2021
Two of our varieties, Jacaranda – Bonsai Blue and Limonium – Dazzle Rocks, were introduced to our range last year but sadly missed out on RHS Chelsea 2020 – but now’s their time to shine! We plan to enter them for the ‘Plant of the Year Award’ 2021!
The only dwarf Jacaranda in existence
Jacaranda Plant – Bonsai Blue
Jacaranda – Bonsai Blue is truly a beautiful plant and we are fortunate enough to have complete European exclusivity!
