The Burgon and Ball RHS Asteraceae Secateur is where art and performance meet. Designed as part of the RHS Gifts for Gardeners collection, it celebrates both beauty and function in one elegant tool. This gift boxed secateur is as practical as it is eye catching, making it the perfect present for anyone who loves their garden.
Each pair is crafted to professional standards and carries the endorsement of the Royal Horticultural Society. The high carbon steel blades are fully hardened and tempered to retain their edge, ensuring clean and efficient cuts with every use. Designed for green growth and live wood, the bypass cutting action slices smoothly through stems up to two and a half centimetres thick, leaving neat, healthy results that encourage regrowth.
The handles are made from strong alloy and fitted with a soft comfort grip for control and balance. Lightweight and responsive, they fit naturally in the hand, reducing strain during pruning. The handles are coloured in a soft purple tone inspired by the vibrant Asteraceae floral print, a thoughtful detail that ties the tool to its botanical theme.
This secateur comes beautifully packaged in a recyclable pull out gift box, designed with sustainability in mind. The box is entirely plastic free and printed with illustrations from the RHS Lindley Collections, which date back to around 1810. The design features blooms from the daisy family, chosen for their lasting colour and importance to pollinators through the changing seasons. A soft sage background provides the perfect backdrop for the jewel bright flowers of the China aster and coreopsis.
Every element of this secateur speaks to Burgon and Ball’s long tradition of quality toolmaking in Sheffield, paired with the elegance of classic botanical art. It is practical, reliable, and beautiful to hold and use.
Whether you keep it as your go to pruner or give it as a thoughtful gift, the RHS Asteraceae Secateur is a lasting piece that embodies both craft and care. It feels good in the hand, looks lovely in its box, and performs exactly as you would expect from a brand trusted by gardeners for centuries.
