Things that thrive in large pots

Camelias...if ceanothus thrive there Camelias should too. Dwarf rhododendrons? What about Taxus Coppershine.....mounded vigorous evergreen with leaves ranging from green n white in winter, to coppery orange.....superb colour....in spring and early summer to yellow until winter. Or Taxus Standishii upright olive coloured leaves? Slightly prickly but superb colour at this time is berberis Darwini.....orange flowers on tight evergreen foliage. Hollies too. Easy and good looking. Golden king has yellow and green foliage, red berries and a natural conical shape

One of my helebores

Hiya red dahlia,
Don't take hellebore cuttings. You will have seedlings, prob next year, pot these up.
Don't cut off leaves...unless diseased.....these feed your plant this summer
Remove flowered stems right to the base.....they are easy to distinguish from other stems
Don't dig up your hellebore or split for few years.....they don't like to be is disturbed
After flowering feed, water if dry and mulch

Mysterious hole appearance in the soil.

Hands up......it was me

The Nation's Love Affair

Getting less keen on GC now....truly.
Visiting a little nursery is a joy. Just to see,plants, many unusual and to meet the growers, many slightly eccentric albeit endearingly so, is a lovely experience. That cream tea? Get that on the way back..... A real Cornish cream tea with lashings of cream and strawberry jam on fresh home made scones. Usually cheaper than garden centres too
