Mystery plant
the colour of the flower I would say it's not hardy. Hopefully it will be OK in your flower bed over summer, but if you want to keep it alive when autumn comes you'll need to plant it in a pot and bring it indoors. After that, keep it warm, give it plenty by debanslow

Water logged
the least! and in the summer (well usually) the ground is as hard as marble, with no drainage except for what we add ourselves. In the spring and Autumn the plants have to contend with flood water. Oooh how exciting - I'd underplant with narcissus by Mother Hen

Border plants
will grow fast.  Thank you for your help.    On reflection, I think in your case I would go for a Forsythia, it's fast growing, gives a bit of colour in Spring - sometimes autumn colour as well, and it can be cut back if necessary.   It's not evergreen by kru

Ideas appreciated for shrubs to create structure in my new garden
of the fence at the end of the garden to create a backdrop for the perennial planting in front.  It would also be nice to have a small tree as a focal point in the middle - something with Spring blossom and good autumn leaf colour.  The fence is 6' and about by happycottontail

Who else loves the humble sempervivum
have become a real fan. Some have really lovely leaf colour and shape, some with a fine cobweb like fur on top. What I really like is that they are a) evergreen, so good ground cover b) very hardy (we haven't lost one in the last two cold winters), c by Gold1locks
