With little knowledge, I'm slowly turning an acre field into a garden! This is my first gardening attempt, so there's such a lot to learn! 🐝🦋🌻

I need to know what that is too, I've just shaped mine into 3 clouds only small but quite pleased with it as they grow quite big . I shaped one into a cockerill one year but the frost killed it off 😈

Kind of - it's a good plant to do topiary with. If your lucky, you can get these tiny purple translucent berries on them to but I don't see many of them on mine, just the odd one. It can grow rampant so keep it pruned!
