      :heehee:
      Choisya Ternata, it comes in different leaf colours so the bright green ones could be cuttings from a Sundance that have reverted to the greener form. Back to the straight and narrow with labelling! :dbgrtmb:

        Suggestion.....
        Take a 4pt plastic milk containers.
        When empty. Wash and cut the plastic into long narrow strips.
        Use a marker pen to write on the name of your Choisya ternata.
        Bury the label deeply with just a few inches sticking up.
        If trodden on they are flexible, they do not snap, they do not rot.
        Better still it cost nothing.

              Thanks @Selleri .....I'll probably ask you again next year if they're still waiting patiently in their pots.;)

              I need to know so I can work out where to plant them. If I recall the one in my parents garden (where I took cuttings from )was really large...is that correct, do they grow big??

                      You can cut back after flowering, and you can do the odd really hard cut back and they respond well.

                      Not sure you will need 10 though. :)

                        Thanks @pete , that's good to know as I wouldn't want them to get too big.
                        I like to hedge my bets!!:biggrin:

                        Had a friend round today who is only too willing for me to off load surplus plants onto her, this would be good as she knew both my parents so the plants will hold a memory for her too.:)
