    Hello all just had my first batch of plants arrive and would really like some help on how to position them in the border

    This is what i have

    rachycarpus wagnerianus (5 litre)
    Chamaerops humilis vulcano (3 litre)


    2 X Musa basjoo - 1Ltr
    3 X Canna 'Striata' - 3Ltr
    1 X Hedychium gardnerianu
    This is what i have placed so far , will this work or do i need to move any?

    I'd swap the positions of the waggie and Chamaerops. Also put the Musas closer together to the left and bunch the Cannas closer on the right with the ginger between them.

    Hi Bigbore,

    Sorry I can't help, tropicals aren't owt I've had experience of, but I can't wait to see it when it's all planted up and growing, it should look stunning :)
