sexy_romulanPlant spoils du jour: a Leonard Messel magnolia and a Bourbon clematis. They were out of creeping thyme, so I will have to go on a mission to another garden centre or two.
They did, however, have these stunningly beautiful weeping japanese maple trees. AUGH. Loblaws, why must you tempt me with gorgeous trees I have no space for! They're quite short, actually; if it weren't for the fact that they get to be horizontally massive, one of these would be perfect for the back of the sunny bed, with the nice height and the stunning foliage and the unusual colour. Although my google search tells me they're slow growers...augh. AUGH.
Also: FList, do you want hydrangeas?? They are nigh indestructible, apparently, and seem to be happy in near-total shade or part sun. I have little bitty ones coming up from root fragments all over hell's half acre, although I'm not sure how long it will take them to get big enough to bloom.
