It was hard work preparing the planting holes for 3 of these plants, heavy Sussex clay beneath the gravel and the membrane. I put lots of grit and decent compost in the holes so they have a good start!

Karen, I thought you might spot the colour! Described as apricot ... hmm!

Waddy, I planted each of the three by a rock ... just hope they climb over them in time. :o)
