The Hardy Plant Society exists to stimulate interest in growing hardy herbaceous plants.
This international Society, formed in 1957 by a group of eminent gardeners and nurseymen, has an ever growing membership in both the UK and overseas. It provides members with information about familiar and less well known perennials, how to grow them and where they may be obtained. The Society also works towards ensuring that all garden worthy perennial plants remain in cultivation and have the widest possible distribution.
