A wonderful plant named in memory of the late Margaret Seabrook, wife to gardening pundit, Peter Seabrook. Margaret lived with dementia and Alzheimer’s for many years, so this delightful variety is a fitting memory to Margaret. A donation from the purchase of this wonderful plant will be made to Alzheimer’s Society, supporting those with dementia and seeking new treatments and ultimately a cure for the devastating condition that affects over 1 million people in the UK. The cultivar was a chance discovery, a “sport” from the well-known ‘Seabrook’s Lavender’ (a hardy verbena to –10 degrees centigrade), by Robin and Christine Grant on the Isle of Wight. The new form also creates a bushy plant, with healthy green foliage and masses of repeat flowers from May to October. It has a distinctive two-tone colour appearance, a strong, dark pink centre slowly fades outwards through lilac, light pink with the outermost flower appearing almost white. A great memory to Margaret and support to millions of dementia sufferers across the nation.

Prefers full sun or partial shade, and free-draining soil or compost.

Ideal for planters and hanging baskets.
