                I agree. Even the wooden summerhouse gets the grime and algae washed off. :blue thumb:

                  Jason were the palms named and did they come in those huge pots? they look far too small and soft to go outside this year.

                  Cordyline Cha Cha, new clumping Cordyline with Phormium colours.
                  Not sure of it's hardiness.

                    They are trachycarpus fortunei they came in the post with a bit of tissue wrapped around them I put them in those pots, do they need to be in smaller ones? How should I care for them as I do t want to loose them, should I put a balanced fertiliser in them

                            I bought this Magnolia today, it was £4.00 I have a couple of questions as I've never owned a Magnolia in my life. Can it go outside now? Can I put it in the ground, or is it better off in a pot? Does it need normal soil or Ericacious (not sure if I spelt that properly - apologies) and lastly will it flower this year? Thanks folks x x
