Fuchsias









Hebe



Mixed Border



Cotoneasters







Dendronmecon

Wonderfull!  :)

My Fuschias are still doing well too, particularly the hardy ones.

What types are yours?

Lovely, Jerry.  (Where's that 'green with envy' smilie when you need it?)  Particularly liked the hebe: what variety?

[Moggle]

The first two are hardy bush fuchsias that have been in the garden for a number of years. Both get to about 3 foot tall.  The first one is “Brutus” . I think the second one is “Display”.

The third one is a pot grown small bush, it is not fully hardy and will get moved into the greenhouse at some point. I think it is “Ton Thumb” but not sure.

The Hebe is "Marjory", planted about 6 years ago, flowers from spring right through to now and is about 4 foot wide and 3 high now. The insects love it.

Thanks Jerry. I thought the top one looked a bit like a 'Brutus', but without knowing if it was hardy or not couldnt be sure. I have Brutus in my garden too, but it doesnt reach 3' though.

I thought 'Tom Thumb' was a hardy type. Not 100% sure mind.

I think Tom Thumb could be hardy, put as it is pot grown and on the north side of the house it is in a very cold spot. Moving it in the winter gives it a better chance.

I must remember to take some cuttings of these in the spring as I have a spot or two I could fill with one.
