Morning folks, the berries are very plentiful this year

I love the berries on this. I’ve got lots more than last year and to be honest it was on its last chance but it’s won a stay of execution 💜💜💜

Ditto Jane and the foliage turned a lovely pale yellow too @pelly

A beautiful plant when it behaves 😍

Morning Jeremy. Such a stunning colour 🙋‍♀️💜

Morning Jeremy. Beautiful 💜

Morning Pauline, Julie and it's quite unusual too @flof1952 @juliesgarden

Morning 💜😃

Morning Ange 👋 @anges

Morning Ange 👋 @anges

Morning folks, damp day here but yesterday afternoon I got so much done yeah! And from less than a dozen berries last year to this 😁

Morning Jeremy..so pretty 💝

Morning Jeremy. These berries are so pretty ...always envied my Mum's plant 👋😊💜

Morning Julie, Pauline, apologies for the late reply, I was out ambling yesterday all day. I think so to Julie @juliesgarden and I rescued mine from B&Q as the look poor before looking this good Pauline, maybe you could find one too as a happy reminder @flof1952

Morning folks, this shrub had 1 small cluster of berries last year and looked distinctly "iffy" but I'm glad I gave it a second chance.

Morning! I moved mine this summer due to iffiness... It's not dead yet 👍

Morning, you've reminded me to take a photo of my Profusion, thanks 😊💜

Morning Jeremy .. mine was so iffy, it died 😢🤣

Morning Ange 🙋 well I hope it's a sunny day for it 😄 @anges

Morning Emma, they're supposed to be very resilient @ejonesy

Morning Julie 🙋, oh dear @juliesgarden

@jpea ..indeed !!😂

It seems to me that they take a good while to establish 🤔💜💜

Mine is still full of leaf and not a berry in sight😖💜 I'll give it another year then it might get the chop if it doesn't perform😆

Speak to it nicely Celina @cee

Morning everyone, hope it's a relaxing Sunday for all and you get some time in your gardens. My latest acquisition (even before Monty mentioned it on GW), now to find the right spot or just a spot!

Morning Jeremy. These are so pretty with their bright purple berries .....my Mum has one which I'm eyeing up 👋😉💜

I saw it at my local GC a couple of weeks ago but as they know me well and told me to hold on as better were due so I did and this 5ft high item arrived 😁

What a beauty. I have two and neither are as big as that and I’ve had them for years! 🤔💜

Morning, I didn't realise they got so tall. I acquired one last year but there's not many berries on it yet. Didn't Monty say put in a sunny spot? I might move mine to a better position 💜 Enjoy! 😊

Morning Jacqueline, I was impressed with it for that reason but it does say they are moderately quick growing to 2.5m high in 20 years while I can wait to see that I can at least enjoy the berries each year @awomanonabike

Morning Ange, its supposed to be a moderate grower upto 2.5m in 20 years but Monty did say that as does the internetty. It's best suited to full sun or light shade (dappled) anything deeper and it becomes leggy with less berries @anges

Yes, thanks for that - I'll move it to the back garden somewhere 💜👍

Wish I had room for one 💜💜

Hmmm! I guess my smaller one has suffered a bit. It’s next to the drive and someone did drive over it a few years ago 🤷‍♀️

Oh that's terrible Jacqueline, they should have replaced it. I have just tickle pruned it as this is supposed to be done after flowering. Hope it's in a sunny spot and recovers fully @awomanonabike

Morning JP ....I’m still in a meeting with my self as to wether I should invest in one....🤔💜😉
