I love gardening, particularly wildlife and GYO. I have an addiction when it comes to buying plants. I only wish I could spend more time indulging!

Morning everyone! #callicarpa in flower, hopefully this will mean a lovely winter display of berries, although I may give it a prune after its flowered.

Morning Richard, I’m new to this one, I didn’t realise it needed pruning after flowering πŸ€”πŸ€”

I don’t think you have to Jane, mine is just not behaving itself and the best time to prune is after flowering (so the rhs says anyway). 🀞 @pelly

Thanks Richard, I’ll have a read about it. This is it’s first year so I doubt I’ll need to prune yet. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Definitely Jane, I probably wouldn’t in it’s first year, let it establish. As I say, I’m only doing it out of necessity! 😊 @pelly

Hello Richard, interesting shrub, very nice tiny flowers and it provides winter colour. I will look for it in my local garden centre.

My one was slow for the first few years Suzy. But it seems to have picked up now! @suzyw
