One of the world’s most iconic designers is to create a spectacular display of his trademark naturalistic planting at Hampton Court Palace Flower Show.

Famous for planting swathes of grasses that snake through bold drifts of herbaceous perennials, Piet's walk-through garden will sit opposite Hampton Court Palace, providing a show-stopping array of mid-summer colour.

The design will feature dominant matrix planting of Stipa barbata, better known as feather grass. The perennial grass bears rolled, linear leaves and even produces small clusters of flowers from early summer, followed by silver seed awns.
