Dibleys' Streptocarpus 'Harlequin Blue' was named RHS Plant of the Year at the 2010 Chelsea Flower Show.[4]

History

Rex Dibley started the nursery in 1976 and originally called it 'Efenechtyd Nurseries', taking the name of the nearby village of Efenechtyd at the time. The Welsh name proved difficult for some, so the nursery's name was changed to 'Dibleys Nurseries' after the family name. In 1984, Rex Dibley's son, Gareth Dibley, joined the business, having recently graduated with a degree in horticulture from Reading University.[5]
