            I made a standard Aubutilon last year. Do you just let them grow tall ten strip them?

              Well done on your standard Fuchsias @Logan

              I did standards once @Victoria, you take out the side shoots as it grows and that only allows it to go upwards. When it comes to the height you want it to be just nip the growing point and it will branch out to form a head .
              Nice to see your Plumbagos, Mine haven't started flowering yet but they died back a lot last winter.

                                Thank you @Upsydaisy .
                                Your garden is pretty and I really like the colour of those Acer leaves, and the little dahlia is so sweet :smile:


                                I've got one of those Nemesia Mangos @strongylodon, it surprised me when I discovered it had survived the winter. I didn't know it was possible to take cuttings of it so I'll have to try this year.
