    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.

    Dying Privet Hedge

    The variegated Pittosporum Elizabeth could work well - one of my neighbours has a very attractive hedge of this. I liked @Plantminded's suggestion of a flowering climber for the arch itself, too.
