What a fab shrub. Don't think I've ever seen one before 👌❤

@jeatacake I was about to cut it right back until it burst into flower so I will wait for that! It will have to have a trim though!

Yes, usually the best time for a trim is straight after flowering. You've got a real treasure there though 👌

Please help me identify this plant. I thought it was a bush I needed to chop right back as it’s shading a couple of other bits. Now these flowers have come out I thought I’d better know what I’m chopping! #plant-id #help-id

Thank you @sho47 I’m hoping they might still ☺️ it’s quite pretty now but I could still do with cutting it right back, just need to know the best time #plant-id #help-id

@sho47 I think I found it with a little ‘generic search engine’ -ing ☺️
