Err.................Hawkshead is an upright hardy Fuchsia. One of the very best IMO

 

You're not wrong there @longk ...

They'd got it in a tray with header for trailing plants.. As I'm still learning, I didn't know that it was upright, and have also learned a lesson, to make sure that I read the blooming lables! That said, it doesn' t say anywhere what type it is, be it shrub, or trailing!

It could actually be a blessing in the long run, as when I've created the border I want in one part of the garden, it could look quite striking as a center piece plant. Thank you for pointing that out to me.

 

You could also nip off a few tip cuttings and they would root very easily, hence more plants for free!

 

Got these from my local Morrisons

 

Such a range of different ones they stock nowadays- just need some TLC this year and then off they go,
great bargain,

Yes, I've already potted them on in to larger pots, C 'Gillian Blades' is a early large flowered variety, I grow small flowered normally but I just have the spot with a red climbing rose should look ok next year

 

A couple of Hosta White Feathers.

 

That's pretty Merleworld.

 

I got an iris, some lithodora, a free petunia, a large red saxifrage, a globe thistle, a snowcap fuchsia and a lovely magnolia stellata from wyevale today. They were all reduced plus I had a voucher so the total was £27! Pretty happy with that.

 

Couple of bits:


Acer 'Orange Dream'

 

Golden Bulrush Typha laxmanii Cattail

I will grow this in my water tub , doesn't get too large

 

Arrived this morning Correa backhouseana (Australian Fuchsia)

 

How hardy is this?

 

Hardy to -5C, sheltered position, says on the plant label
I'm going to plant in a large pot and over winter in the greenhouse.
I got it off ebay

 

Thanks! Just ordered some seed from Oz
