Thanks Liz i have just leapt out of my seat and straight into the greenhouse where i overwintered this as i did not have the room last year to plant it out, so i thought i would over winter it in its pot till this year and plant it out. my thousand thanks for you to send me this.

Fantastic, thank you.

Yep just checked an Keble has V. major down as naturalised/garden escapee :WINK1:

Have a look here and here for some shrub hedging suggestions. It gives details of how far apart you need to plant them, depending on what size you buy I'd go for a mixed hedge to include something like Photinia (red robin), Portuguese Laurel, Viburnum Tinus or Griselinia

Whichever it is, it is beautiful .. I just love them.

thanks for the affirmation, Tor! I had thought it might be for a while, but the height threw me - this bush is about 3 metres tall, but it is probably about 20 years old, and not been pruned often, being in a rented house's garden. I just love the stems, with their grey "bloom" - which is why...

I also got bluebells growing everywhere in my garden, didnt know what they where, thanks guys.

Hi - just to show it was a wild violet, here they are blooming away now! Thanks again Gavin.

Scrungee I will send you some of my Maraichere seeds if you like. Just PM my your address and I'll pop some in the post, I got mine fromNicky's nursery (wish I'd spotted them on ebay though )

Welcome to Gardeners Corner

Shiney, by the look of that avatar, most of Jiffy's parts shrivelled up and disappeared long ago!

Looks like celery to me, which also has a strong smell as you say Louise.

thanks or Tack! looks very much like the empress

I should have got Macfadyena, I've got it climbing up the back of my house. Didn't notice the claws until I just looked at the video.

Better check with someone who knows (I do not) You do not just fill up the pot, the trunk has to be at the same level as it was in the original soil Jack McHammocklashing

Shiney..thank you! i wouldnt have thought they were love in a mist, the foliage looks so different to the grown up plant, but now i did just look and they are them! thanks again Gill

Thank you Moyra

I think I've found it as Phillyrea latifolia

Luckily its in the right place as a hedging plant,just in front of my compost area so hides that quite well,this is the first year it has had flowers.Now I know what it is I might leave it be,Thanks everyone

They are succulent plants , they grow in desertic areas , full sun for them and feed in spring and summer let them get dormant from autumn up to March.
