Crocosmia 'Emily Mckensie'

A new purchase, wanted this for ages and spotted it at B&Q of all places, in fact they had some really nice plants.

Nice Kathy. I always go round the garden centre at B&Q when I get dragged to the DIY store. There are usually some reductions too ?

I used to love B&Q for plants, but haven't seen anything good there for a long time. Mind you, I never go near the place if I can possibly avoid it!

For me, this is in the same group as bracken fern - so highly invasive that I would be very afraid to plant it in a pot. It's lovely, but scary. :)

Thanks everyone, yes Dawn I bought a couple of cannas from reduced stand huge plants only £4, look nice in a pot near the door.
I've had quite a few plants from there this year Karen lovely Acer at a bargain price.
Lol Wylie hopefully not that bad here!!, that's the fern I bought isn't it? that you said im lucky i live in a place were it'll die, must say its very well behaved here and hardly grown at all!
