    Labelling at supermarkets often leaves a lot to be desired. If your Euonymus is evergreen with glossy (probably variegated) leaves it's going to be a small shrub. If it's one of the deciduous types it will probably get a bit bigger, but still worth growing - none of them make large trees, depending on which one it is you could be looking at a medium shrub under 6ft, or a large shrub/small tree about twice that.

    The Hydrangea macrophylla red could be too big when fully grown,I think they are lovely plants but I worry that it would dominate the whole bed,what do you think?

    I might get a few more plants tonight or tomorrow and get them planted in the next couple of days

    My recommendation.  Organic and fabulous quality.  Have not used online as I can (or could) visit.

    Don't feel you have to plant it all at once, save some buying pleasure for next year! The Euonymus is an evergreen groundcover type, as I thought, it was a case of poor labeling. Re the hydrangea, you need plants that are larger to have impact,  it's usually a bad idea to stick with only tiny plants. The hydrangea will be a manageable size but have a bit of scale to it which will give a focus to your bed. Nice colourful selection!

  • I have been very pleased with the herbs I bought from Otter Farm (Mark Diacono). They arrived beautifully packed and were well-established. The rosemary came in a coir pot to be planted straight into the ground. The other pots were recyclable. I will be ordering from him again.
