Cercis canadensis ‘Carolina Sweetheart’, submitted by Joh. Stolwijk & Zn. from Boskoop, won the Plantarium Press Award in the category Garden, balcony and patio plants. In the Concepts category, the award went to POTTBURRI, submitted by F.N. Kempen from Mijndrecht.
The jury was unanimous about POTTBURRI: biodegradable pots that respond to the demand for non-plastic products. Its catchy name and nice colour make this an appealing concept. The Cercis canadensis ‘Carolina Sweetheart’ was a favourite of many of the judges. It is a Cercis canadensis with spectacularly variegated foliage. The tree puts on a colour show in various seasons and its average size makes it an excellent tree for gardens.
The Plantarium Press Award was presented by chairwoman of the jury Ann Richardson from Sweden, who works for the trade journal Viola, Viola Butik and Tidskriften Landskap.
