          Also sunpatiens......superb more vigorous and disease free varieties of impatiens. Magenta is ultra vigorous and one will fill a 40 45 cm container. A nice white too...always great in shade.
          Get a perennial grass in there too like Hackonechloa and/or an evergreen sedge like Testacea
          Brunneras and geraniums like Phaem varieties too:)

                I need a bit of advice on two of my shrubs that are looking brown after the harsh winter. A common myrtle and a corollina. Both are large shrubs that have been in the ground for a few years. I don't know whether to dig them up now or to wait a while to see if any green appears and if so how long do I give them? Any suggestions????

                    @alana you could try just scraping a bit of the bark to see whether it's alive. :blue thumb:
