Really pleased with the progress of this dogwood. She was a shrivelled mess when I got her about 4 years ago. I started it in a pot for the first year and I’ve had her in this well fed border for the last 3. Judging by the performance this year I think she’s almost ready to be transferred to a permanent position before she gets too big! I love this colour palette! πŸ€πŸ’œπŸ’—πŸ’š #dogwood #cornus #tree #foliage #border #lupin #foxglove #cream #pink #purple #colourpop #colourcombo #bestofmay

@dan5584 I sure do Dan. It's looking fab and purple πŸ’œπŸ’œI can see my pink and purple ones from the lounge. They really stand out and, thankfully they're sturdy enough to stand up to this weather. I'm really looking forward to a better and sunny day tomorrow. I hope to get my last two plant deliveries, Sarah Raven's site said my Salvia was available mid May. Ok, we're past that now, so where is it I wonder. Been a long wait for my order from Gardening Express too! Shocking service πŸ˜³πŸ’œπŸ’œ
