I've a feeling my phormium and my phygelia will be heading that way, too. That's good. They were both getting a bit overpowering for my liking. I'd like to replace them with a silver buddleia and maybe a mallow this year. And the hebe's location would be perfect for yet another hellebore.

It's quite amusing, isn't it? A couple of years back, they were telling us to ditch the cottage garden staples and invest in mediterranean plants because of global warming...
