These mid-handled perennial spades are simply perfect for the task of splitting perennial plants, and available in the original long handled version (56cm long) and now a short handled version at 42cm long. The pointed tip slices easily through roots to divide into new plants, with minimal disturbance to the rest of the roots and plant. It’s also really handy for digging while kneeling, offering great grip and enhanced digging power if you like to get up close to your plants. And it’s perfect to use with raised beds, extending your reach to avoid working at an awkward height.
The stainless steel head is highly resistant to rust and will stay looking good for years to come. For extra strength, the strapped socket is double riveted to the FSC hardwood shaft.
Our Burgon & Ball stainless steel perennial spades are endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society, perhaps the highest accolade in the gardening world. Like all their RHS-endorsed stainless steel tools, the perennial spade is covered by the Burgon & Ball lifetime guarantee.
