hi, i don't know really. Wood seems really hard for lil aphids though

What a lovely shrub! (disappears off to the Gc...)

No1 the variegated form of Arundo donax.

The grey leafed thing is probably Helichrysum italicum, aka The Curry plant. Needs a hot dry spot. Normally pruned in Spring. Can be cut back to new buds at the base of shoots and will normally regrow from them.

Thanks KandyI like the sound of the tree very much! It'll have competition on the height stakes from next food's ash which is now as tall as the houses.I'm keeping an eye on it in its early stages. Looks very strong though so fingers crossed it'll survive.

That's OK @Zigs it will save me taking any cuttings

BeeHappy I also love, love, loves those Daisies, although mine are Mexican Fleabane and Sea Breeze, but still Erigeron.The Erigeron Sea Breeze is not looking its best in this pic, but was beautiful when in full flower. Had to stuff all the Daisies in pots as were impulse buys and nowhere in...

@Snorky85 if there are some low-lying stems leave them attached to the parent plant-dig out a little grove to put them in, cover over with soil then pop a wire peg over them to keep them in contact with the soil or I've even place brick on them and they have rooted by next year- you have two...

Nice one cheers

They'd probably nick your shiny ornaments only getting magpies at the moment

Thanks for your observations Verdun .I will follow your advice and see what happens .

Hello Silver Surfer, Thank you so much for your help and links. Looking at it again, it does look more like a Lonicera rather than weigela. However, both are pruning group 2 which is the important thing and now I can give it the care it deserves. Very kind of you to say that it is a "very...

oh thanks for the heads-up - i think i'll keep it in a big pot and next year, include it in my rounds in the middle of the night with torch and salted boiling water.....
