Will's styling notes
Will Williams brings his vibrant and fresh design aesthetic along with his horticultural expertise to Soto. He was the youngest ever RHS Young Designer of the Year and has gone on to win several RHS medals at major UK garden shows. Below he explains the thinking behind the collection.
The plants in this border can tolerate being in the shade. Structure in this border comes from the Taxus Domes and Hydrangeas. The Astrantias provide sprays of delicate flowers and, in the summer months, White Foxgloves make a show. Golden Dew grass and Christmas Roses are the backdrop to the scheme. Winter white flowers from the Christmas Roses bring winter interest and year round evergreen ground cover.
Focusing on a sophisticated palette of green and white, the Soto White collection has subtle flecks of pink to draw the eye and offer perspective.
Due to border size restrictions, some plants do not feature in every border. Please refer to the 'What's included' for specific plant listings.
