Laurels or thorn quick grows

Quick thorn or blackthorn nice native hedge plus can deter people up to no good but i prefer a nice evergreen hedge like laurel of yew leylandi if you want a big screen

This one my Mum bought for me when i first moved in to my first house, i was age 19 and i'm 48 now, so it's been around a while..!

Put it into a clay pot not long after i got it and have changed the pot once since. It gets fed once a year and is never watered directly into the soil or on the bulb, it gets poured into the surrounding pot and absorbs from the roots. It's been on an easterly facing window all it's life and luckily both house kitchen windows are the same. Some years flower displys are better than others (this year not so good) but we always get a show. They do look a bit bare in summer but we make sure its dead headed and dead leafed but its worth its worth it in winter!

They are a great little plant and dead easy to keep, go for it and see how many years you can get out of one!

Going to put it in my the ground outside in semi shaded area built a raised shrub bed back in lar summer and is pretty plant less so this might do well

If you want it in the bed you'd be best of getting it in bulb form as you can get perennial versions (ones that come back every year).

Semi shaded is good as cyclomen don't like the sun

This is in a pot will it not be Suitible to plant as it is ?

Yes but it will die and not come back .. If you want them back every year you'll need to plant bulbs

no point planting then I guess you seem quite knowledgeable with plants do you work around them also can you suggest a book with trees and shrubs where I will learn the Latin names also

 

must be making the stick on signs for the oul tipper with spring not long away...few latin names dropped,,phone ,,see driver for details.lol
