Very Difficult Riddle/Cryptic Crossword-type clue??
"A reverend and a pirate share a name. What will you plant in their honour?"
It might be a pun or word-game, or it might be trivia I'm not getting. It has a cryptic crossword feel to it; the author is British. It should be a word or a phrase.
I don't have a word length (it's a riddle, not a crossword - previous riddles have been as short as a 4-letter word and as long as a 23-letter phrase). I've tried most basic plants, but I think it's a word-game I'm just not quite getting. It's also not 'privet' which I thought would be right. It's also not 'cotton'.

This is kind of off the wall, but there's a reverend who's well known in the state of Florida by the name of Reverend Flagg. The only reference I know to a pirate would be a Canadian pirate TV station by the name of American Flagg. Could you not plant a flag (Flagg) in their honour?
