                  Hi Strongy someone once told me the wider the leaves the less hardy, would you say that is true?

                  The Perth pink looks a good one.

                    I reckon so, out of all the ones I have C. leavis which is wide leaved like citrinus Splendens is the only one damaged by frost and cold, all the others with narrower leaves have shrugged off -6/7cs.

                      I had C. splendens on my back wall, facing west, years ago and it survived, but it never survived anywhere else in the garden.

                          @Freddy our 6ft high Viburnum plicatum and an 8ft Philadelphus coronarius ‘Aureus’ next to it seem to have died from the drought. :cry3: We obviously didn't water frequently enough. :doh:

                            Some of our Aquilegias are coming back :blue thumb: but we still have downymildew in parts of the garden. :sad:

                            P1480347.JPG

                            Cytisus battandieri is starting to flower. It's about 15ft high now

                            This shorter Thalictrum, about 4ft, is flowering but the giant 'Elin' won't flower until it has reached about 10ft
                            P1480385-1.jpg

                            All self seeded but looking good

                              I don't know the names of any of our Irises

                              These are well over 50 years old

                              I quite often mention that if plants self seed in the garden, and are not in the way, than they are left to do their own thing.

                              These are actually growing in our driveway
