      Aren't they just gorgeous.. I really want to get one, I am on the hunt for a really nice pot or planter preferably an old stone one if I can and then I shall be getting one..
      Somebody once said to me that it is a real plantsman's plant (not sure if I am a plantsman, but I certainly know what I like).. I just love it and will be getting one soon... I hope...... :yay:

      :SUNsmile:The only one I have seen close up in a pot is on a balcony of an apartment of a friend that overlooks the Thames and it absolutely loves it there and that is how I found out about this beautiful plant and decided I will one day have one too... :love30:

                  I know i have both in my garden lol

                  I have one of each in pots and then I have another chinese witch hazel fire dance out the front that i'm hoping will grow bushy enough to hide the wheelie bin. The flowers on it are really cute

                  [​IMG]

                  you can keep it smaller like a more rounded head one

                  or

                  a dwarf lilac

                  [​IMG]

                  I have two in pots either side of my front door.

                  or for something that is really diddy a lavender trained into a tree shape
