fathers day prezzie?

morning all

wifey has asked what i want for farvers day, and i thought a nice plant. now, i dont want her spending much but i'm stuck on what to get?

criteria:-

it must be hardy
perennial or evergreen
fit in with a exotic planting if put in the border i've started.

it can also go in a stand alone pot if nessasary but with this, give height, colour and good interest.

over to you guys and girls. i've a day to decide

 

Garden vouchers - available at garen centres, nurseries and places like Homebase in denominations from £1 upwards. That way you get the pressie but can wait until you find just the right plant, cos you know the old saying, 'plant in haste, swear about it for ever!'

 

sambucus black tower or sambucus black beauty

will cost under £10 from a garden centre and blends in well with a tropical style garden

or ... if you don't have any of the following: musa basjoo or a T-Rex ... musa can be bought from a garden centre, but T-Rex will have to be bought from ebay or online

 

my local homebase has a good selection of washies in, so i'll get one of those. along with a couple more calla's.

i'll move the washie in the garage or shed come winter (i'll plant it in a pot)

 

i did notice the sambucus black tower, nice plant. not a bad price at homebase either for iirc, £7. good call. i think i'll pick one or 2 up tomorrow.

 

i got my farthers day prezzies!!!

a washie, 2 bags of multi purpose and 2 planters:-

 

You lucky guy - happy father's day. 3 lovely shots of your "chez vous" - in the sun too.
Absolute magic !!
