    What a wonderful gift!
    Prince Charles has a stumpery at Highgrove, his are in a shady place and are planted up with hostas and ferns etc. Will yours be in sun or shade?
    We've had a very nice time thanks and ate too much - of course. Happy New Year to you too [​IMG]

    Don't forget the ferns and mosses too - combined with the bulbs should look great.

    Hi Green Fingers....Not too sure where I will put it yet but I rather fancy shade..if I choose ferns and mosses I think that would be the best place.
