You must have magic soil where you live @Thevictorian . I've grown several Buddleias here but they've always been rather lacking in vigour, unlike yours! I'm pretty sure it's due to the shallow sandy soil that I have on a bedrock of sandstone. Many shrubs dislike it which is why I tend to grow...

Lovely when it doesn't rain!!!

Thanks will definitely keep them as they were the extra extra large ones which were quite expensive though I did buy them after xmas last year in the garden centre sale!

Hello @SpruceI have Started the Discussion on a Replacement in 'My Garden Progress' Thread.I Think that I am leaning towards HoneySuckle but not sure, Yet ThanksKevin

Right. Thank you.

I like Cosmos (mostly as easy to grow) and the dwarf sunflowers (there’s oranges and reds too). I often aim to do some for picking, but I never do enough and end up leaving them in garden as they so lovely.Have a look on Sarah Raven site as she recommends lovely flowers for cutting.

Thanks for the info mate. Will try them.

Thanks @NigelJ I've done that this morning and @pete Tbh I've never noticed the leaves! It has been cruelly neglected. I have given it a good jiggle of toprose as that's the first thing that came to hand.

It's a long time since I've had Spirea in the garden, but if I remember rightly they flower on the previous year's growth so you prune them immediately after flowering. If you want a dense rounded shape you can do it by clipping them all over.When they get mature (not your problem just now) you...

Many thanks for the advice

Hello @JennyJBThanks for the Reply.I will wait until after they Flower.Kevin

There are so many varieties and many of them look very similar - as no doubt you've found out already. I had a similar problem. There's a school near me with a beautiful specimen about 15ft high and laden with berries in early winter. I searched for a long time to try and identify the variety,...

Irish Yew has a narrow columnar form, suitable for a container. Should be readily available .
