RHS Guide to Vegetables for Exhibition
Whilst the majority of vegetable varieties available, if grown well
and properly presented, would be a valuable addition to the many shows staged across the country. There are varieties and cultivars, which due to their attributes, are regularly seen on the show bench and do particularly well in competition.
To assist those new to growing for showing, the following are amongst the most reliable and successful currently available.
This is not an exhaustive list of all vegetables but seeks to example those most regularly listed in show schedules and seen on the show bench.
In addition to their show qualities, highlighted varieties have the added benefit of carrying the Award of Garden Merit, given in recognition of their performance in field trials carried out by the RHS.
Most are available through commercial seed houses, whilst some will have to be sourced from specialist seed suppliers and breeders accessed through the horticultural press and/or the internet.
