The legendary Peter Seabrook is to embark on his latest Chelsea voyage this year, with the unveiling of a plant named in his honour. Verbena, ‘Seabrook’s Lavender’, is being launched by Hardy’s Cottage Garden Plants in Hampshire.

This new verbena was discovered by horticulturist and gardening journalist Seabrook in his Essex garden. Seabrook took his discovery to Patrick Fairweather of Hilltop Nursery in Hampshire who agreed to try to develop the plant.

That was four years ago and ‘Seabrook’s Lavender’ is now launching to the public as a low maintenance, long flowering verbena suitable for all gardens.
