An Algarve Garden 2024 to 2026
It looks beautiful, Victoria. I especially like the Loropetalum. I gave mine to a friend when I moved house. It was in a pot.

How do you feel if this happens?
I blame TV gardening shows, they have no relation to real gardening and growing. Instant effect, not keen on garden designers personally.

How to take a Cutting of a Japanese Anemone
If the pot is large enough, leave it in there until you hand it over. Your friend can then check the rootball and top growth after a few weeks and decide when best to plant in the soil.
