Amazing garden @mojo . Fabulous phormium too 😀
My phormium is moving to a new home in my friends garden as it has just outgrown my small front garden. I can't believe how fast it's grown in such a short space of time 😳
Crikey! That is a beast now. Glad you have found him a new home 🏡
He's moving to my friends garden in Shropshire @flowerquest13. She has about an acre of garden so hopefully he'll settle in there and have more room to spread out! 😀 @jacq1075
Wow good luck to who ever is digging it out 💪💪💪
It's out now Keely and he more than earned his brew and chocolate biscuits 💪💪 😀 @Keely
You could try some Echium ?
Thanks Steve 😀👍 I've just been reading up on Echium it seems they like dry conditions and a south facing position so should be perfect 👌 @lamaisonbleueoleron
Mo, Your welcome you could either consider the #echiumpininana will take 2 to 3 years to bloom, and height 2 3 metres then will die once flower and need replacing or the #echium-candicans grow more like a shrub and bush like once flower won't die after flower will continue to stay evergreen during winter may need winter protection during risk of a freeze. Hope the info helps I taken seeds from Chiltern or I could send you a baby plant, they self seeds with me 😂🤦🏼♂️@mojo
Good morning Steve, I'm excited now 😀 I think the echium candicans will be a fantastic shrub for that spot in the garden and that it stays evergreen is even better. I would love one of your baby plants please. It would have so much more meaning to me knowing where it has come from 😊 Just a shame I can't come and collect it myself 😀 @lamaisonbleueoleron
If you go to the website on my profile and send me a msg on the enquire form with your address I'll arrange one to be posted over. Or you can ask @mikethegardener if he'll come and collect it for you 😂😱
Thanks Steve I've just sent you a msg. If @mikethegardener is heading over I might be tempted to come over with him 😂
