@kevinparr409 - Perhaps if you read the thread properly, you'd understand what the OP's problem was. The hot dry weather in many parts of the UK last summer, coupled with a drier winter, has seen many plants/shrubs having problems caused by drought, and competition from other planting. It was nothing to do with cold weather.
Oh - and they grow quite happily up here against, and up, walls
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Here 98f each day no rain water from lake so yes drought i well know .I have an 8acres landscaped gardens loose nothing ever. Walls are too hot in summer which is my point never plant up a wall it kills plants unless you water hard for the time of the summer. After 60 years lining in Uk as a farmers son I cant recall a summer only 1976 and perhaps 1983
here is so hot during day we pray for rain. Summer it is and real. Last week over 100f from 10am until 8pm then I went out to water greenhouses. Rain may be in September hopefully monsoon. Winter can drop to 30 cel below but as I say if snow as most years we feel nothing nor do my million plants . Britain was a lovely place until the influx of so called refugees and Brexit.The Duke of Wellington whom in 1815 gave us the European states as insurance for peace and trade it was the first Eu in Brussels he bought an office.It was used up to 2003 when the new buildings went up.Eu belongs to Britain but the governments did not want the extra paperwork .So the problem is we can never leave just reclaim it as ours. I wish you luck with your garden as I recall my early days as a garden designer no one wanted to hear the truth.
