Thanks Cinders..I didn't think so,the first time Russell 'hacked' it back! He isn't a gardener..so I was so annoyed,to put it mildly..but I had to eat my words,and agree he was right ! :o)

It does give a bit of a focal point,Carol..and a break in the border..Our bit only goes as far as the tree,so the left hand side of it ,is my neighbours..so I planted the Crocosmia's and Daisies for her to see from her kitchen window.... she is unable to garden now,so a bit of colour for her :o)
