Burgon & Ball RHS Stainless Perennial Spade

Introducing the Burgon & Ball RHS Stainless Perennial Spade — a purpose-built tool for serious perennial gardening. Endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society, this mid-handled spade blends precision, durability, and comfort in a design you’ll reach for again and again.

The pointed tip is engineered to slice through roots with minimal disturbance to the surrounding crowns, making it effortless to divide clumps and propagate healthy new plants. Its compact 14 cm square head provides a controllable cutting area, while the 56 cm overall length positions you perfectly for kneeling work or extending reach in raised beds, reducing strain and awkward angles.

• Head: Stainless steel, 14 cm x 14 cm, highly resistant to rust to stay looking sharp season after season.
• Handle: FSC-certified hardwood for sustainable strength and a comfortable grip.
• Construction: Strapped socket is double riveted to the shaft for unmatched rigidity and durability.
• Versatility: Ideal for perennial division, delicate transplanting, and raised-bed digging with minimal soil disruption.
