    I've just bought a Cornus Kousa 'China Girl' wanted one for ages so after spotting a lovely one at a local nursery couldn't leave it behind could Iimage, its changing colour nicely and even has a couple of its strawberry fruits, read it needs a warm summer to flower well the next year though.

    And next year more salvias image

  • Melianthus major, I have had an eye on for a couple of years and now have a south facing wall to plant it against. I admire its foliage at East Ruston Vicarage Gardens and know where I can get one. image

    Also I'm hoping to raise from seed, Baptisia australis, the false indigo, purely on the recommendation of Christopher Lloyd in his books. It looks a bit like a blue Lupin.

  • I can't wait for my echium pininana to flower next summer -I've been nurturing them since spring 2014. image

    I'm trying Hepatica's, Anemone Nemorosa, Anemone Lipsiensis and Erythronium.  Trying to create a shady, woodland type garden in the strip of land down the side of the house.  Shade was the enemy in my previous garden, I can't believe I'm actually trying to create some in our sun-baked garden now.  Would love to try Trilliums too, but I'll see how I get on with the above.

    You will need easily that! I have just been pulling out the roots, they trail underground for about two ft, with little shoots every three inches. best in a pot methinks.

    i have acquired four different Japanese Anemones, I dont know whether to plant them in a group, together, or dot them around the garden, any thoughts please? 

    I now have four grasses, never had them before. As well as the seeds I have coming on. My garden will be completely diffeent next year.

    Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.

    I'm trying a couple of grasses as well. I think/hope they give nice movement to a border. I'm also looking for something hang over and hide a truly ugly wall. Any suggestions for something eye catching and different would be appreciated.image
