Hebe 'Magic Summer'

Looks very similar to Heartbreaker - is there much difference Spritz?

If you put them next to each other, yes. But they were bred by the same Nursery, so there's bound to be similarities.

A Double Delight!

One of my favorite colour Hebe's too.....

Do you have one Maureen?

If Maureen has 'Heartbreaker', she'll like this - and so would you, Dawn!

Beautiful. how hardy is it Barbara?

It's supposed to be - but time will tell. I had to replace a 'Heartbreaker' after two cold winters. The breeders 'claim' that these new ones are hardier.

Watch this space!

Where have I heard that one before ?

Oh dear - It's a case of if you don't try, you'll never know - so I tend to 'push the boundaries', living in hope.

Me too, must be mad......don't answer that lol

I'm doing it again with Helleborus lividus - it's only got two RHS stars, but there I go, planting them in the garden! I LIKE them - and just maybe they'll be OK. :-)

Nothing ventured.......

I bought two more of them as the first one looked silly on its own - and knocked the whole top off one of them! I couldn't believe what I'd done - or how, either! :-(((

Oh dear that is annoying, i expect you were really cross with yourself.....perhaps it will make it bushier?

I don't think so - the whole flower head bit fell off. There are just two leaves left. I stared in disbelief!

Oh dear, what a good thing you bought more than one plant?

Well - you're supposed to plant in odd numbers, aren't you......and I have to admit that groups do look better!

They do I agree, but if your garden is small like mine, you cannot do it, and it would limit me to the number of plants I could buy?

How big is your garden, Dd? Do you group your plants - in a different way, by shape or size?

Looks beautiful! How big does it grow?

Funny to see this one come around again, never did answer your question....it is very small B, I plant by colour mostly.....

Pip, it's a dwarf, so it really does stay less than 18" tall.

Why not, Dd. As long as you enjoy your colours, which you do...:-)))))

Lol.....
