This little bed sits along side the garage. It's a south-easterly facing patch and, as you can see these sun-loving plants wish they'd been planted in a more southerly facing direction. In the distance is a mature Choisya tenata 'Sundance' that likes the shelter of the brick wall behind it, but suffers a bit on a cold winter's day when the easterly sun heats its frozen leaves up too quickly, causing them to brown. I wait for the new growth to come through in Spring. The brown bits are soon outnumbered.
