The Award of Garden Merit is a mark of quality awarded, since 1922, to garden plants (including trees, vegetables and decorative plants) by the United Kingdom, Royal Horticultural Society (RHS). Awards are made annually after plant trials intended to judge the plants' performance under UK growing conditions.
The RHS is well known for its annual flower shows which take place across the UK. The most famous of these shows is the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, visited by people from across the world.

Arabis allionii is a species of flowering plant in the family Brassicaceae, native to the mountains of central and southern Europe and southern Turkey. [1] The Royal Horticultural Society lists it as a garden plant for attracting pollinators, but gives its common name as "Siberian wallflower", suggesting that they have it confused with Erysimum × marshallii.
It has also been selected as one of the "RHS Plants for Pollinators" which "provide nectar and pollen for bees and the many other types of pollinating insects." [7] Following a "rigorous trial and assessment programme" the RHS determined it to be robust, with both colour and form as "stable". It is largely pest and disease-resistant.
