Contenders ready…. #PPotY16 the final 3

I have shortlisted the final 3 “Plants of the Month” and will open up voting on social media (Using the #PPotY16)

The criteria used, to determine the short list, is a mix of performance in the garden this year and my personal choice.

The short list contenders are, “In no particular order!”:

Hydrangea aspera var.robusta from May

Rhododendron edgeworthii CCHH 8016

Magnolia sargentiana robusta ‘Blood moon’
