    Oh that-had one of those and dug it out last year-trust me you cannot split it-it was a real bugger to get out of the groundimage

    You can hack it back hard though-it will come back-again -trust meimage

  • Ok that's what I shall do when should I cut it now or after summer ?;)

    Are you sure it's Hypericum calycinum Tracy? This is an invasive ground cover plant (see what sotongeoff sas a few posts ago). I wouldn't describe that as a large shrub. It's large in the way it spreads but 18 inches would be as tall as it goes, often less.

    There are some, eg a cultivar called Hidcote that go to about a metre and a half. These are a lot more refined, garden worthy and often seen in GCs

  • I should stop watching tv and learn to write properly 40cm isn't the height of mine at all its about 4ft hope that looks right image

    Oh Tracey-I can see you sitting there scratching your head all confused about what to do?

    -is it possible to get to a PC to post a picture?

    Wot a good idea geoff.

    I love the way we all mix our metric and imperial. I can still eyeball heights in feet and inches but not in metric things.

    I shall search for a pic of Hidcote
