Somewhere in the show info on the RHS website it should say who the designer is, then you should be able to find their website/contact details on the internet. Send them the picture and ask nicely if they could tell you what it is.
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
I guess it's the usual Chelsea thing of manipulating the growing conditions to get things to flower at the wrong time. But if they've put all that work into it, it seems odd not to include it on the plant list! It's beautiful, very much my kind of plant, but I don't think it would thrive here in my dry soil 🥲.

I think my wish list needs to be retitled - wish I had the right soil conditions for this plant. Don't think it would fare well in my sunny dry garden and if it went in the bit under the N. facing fence I wouldn't see it.
Yes, I have a very unhappy Actaea (I heard they were drought tolerant once established... I think not) so it would be silly to get another plant to be unhappy alongside it!

I see it's related to Actea, which grow well here. They need soil that doesn't dry out.
Oh no - another plant I want to buy....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
