I am after some advice, my father recently lost his wife, and wants to plant a shrub in a pot, and asked me for which one to get. I was looking at a philadelphus however I would like one that had my mothers name Shirley, please help.
If you do an internet search for plants/flowers with Shirley in the name - you may find some. Often, rose varieties will have most names and if not there are ones named "memories" or "special Mum" etc.
You may prefer to just pick a shrub/plant that you like the look of, or you think that she would have liked and dedicate it to her.
I hope you can find something fitting and suitable - it's a lovely idea.
Hi ogster. The only plants available in this country with the name Shirley are a Fuchsia and Shirley poppies. The best plants to look for special memories/occasions are roses and whilst you might not find a rose called Shirley there may be a suitably named one that fits an occasion that holds happy memories for your father.
