Welcome!....great garden and a great wish list!
Most wanted list - Any Young Trachycarpus and/or fern.
Re: New member in Leeds West Yorkshire
Thank you. Love my lechuza pots. Bloody expensive but worth it for the quality and the overall look. The phormium cream delights work perfectly there!GREVILLE wrote:Welcome, L33ETH1
Love the end-pieces at the back of the garden, the trio of containerised Phormiums picked out by the dark background of the hedge.

Maurelli are easy to come by so don't worry about preferential suppliers, buy the cheapest.L33ETH1 wrote:Something hardy of course. Maybe maurelli?
Re: New member in Leeds West Yorkshire
Thanks. As always I'll be wanting the biggest plant I can get for the least amount of money!
Re: New member in Leeds West Yorkshire
Welcome to the forum my fellow Yorkshireman! Love the garden and especially the gunnera. Your cordylines look really healthy too.

Ah a "south" Yorkshireman!
The gunnera was a free plant given to me by a work colleague that had split his own plant last spring. Was trial and error when planting but it thrived last year and even produced 2 huge flower spikes!
The cordylines get a good compost mulch in spring and fed regularly through the growing season. Oh and of course, wrapped up for winter. For some reason despite being planted at the same time one is larger than the other. Hopefully it'll catch up!!
Early in the year before the gunnera got huge!!

Welcome LEE...Not a bad part of the world to live in!
I guess you've checked out all the exotic plants locally? Tropical world, Harewood and the jungle garden near Roundhay?

Re: New member in Leeds West Yorkshire
I've been to tropical world many times but sadly not for a long time. Is there another garden near roundhay then? As for harewood, that's now on my list of places to visit once the weather picks up!!
Re: New member in Leeds West Yorkshire

Oh boy, I have to have one of those...
