    I cut this little bush back last year to just a stump. Was just clearing the garden out more than tending to it.

    Since then it's growing again and if love to know wjat it is so i can hopefully repot it and get it thriving!

    Any thoughts?

    Check out Pieris Japonica - I think that`s what it is, and then check out your soil. Pieris requires acid soil to thrive, and I notice the leaves are yellowing on that one. :)

      Ah brilliant. Picked it out first time :love30:
      I've never really done anything with it, im gonna dig it up and repot it into a big pot today . The part its in currently has awful soil, its full of cat sh*t, old roots, ivy & a rose bush.

      Would like it pulled out on its own so I can clear everything else out of the end bit out completely. It's on the right under the rose.

      As it has obviously been there for some time, there is a good chance you will finish it off if you move it ....mind you, I think it could be worth investing in a new plant anyway, so why not cut your losses and take a trip to the garden centre. It would give you a bit of space to do some soil improvement for now. :confused:
