    Problem is he won’t reciprocate 🤪

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    Another plant you could consider is Phormium.  It's evergreen and comes in lots of different colour combinations.  The best (and most tasteful ones!) are the green and white variegated varieties like Cream Delight and Tricolor, but there's lots of others, although these can be less hardy and need protection over winter.  They will be happy in a large container for a while, needing the usual care of any containerised plant.
    Wirral. Sandy, free draining soil.

    "None so blind as them wot won't listen"  eh @mitchell.jamiers2luPHP  ;)

    Good luck with your project - you've got plenty of idea to work with anyway, and you've given me a laugh, so ten out of ten and a gold star ... :D
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Thank you very much. I’ll look into this. Best wishes, Jamie
