Question from

We have just moved into a new house.... with our own jungle! This is growing over a lot of the wooded area. Long underground runners.... Very tough.
We would like to know what it is before we pull it all out. Thank you

Can anyone identify this please?
Question from
In forum: Identify a plant
These plants have been in the garden for over 30 years. I pull them up and they come back - very hardy! They are perennial, flower from Dec/ Jan through to about March and have heart shaped leaves each on its own stem. They grow almost to knee height 18 to 24 inches. The flowers are on a separate stem with multiple flower heads coming from a few buds. The leaves on the flower stem are different with no stalk and are elongated & Lance shaped growing alternately up the stem. The flowers have pinkish buds opening to whitish flowers with bluish stamens? The ones in the photo are growing back after last year’s assault so are not quite at full height yet. Any thoughts please. Sue

informal screening / softening of view of raised beds
Question from
In forum: Garden design
Hoping for suggestions...I have just had a veg flower garden created with high raised beds (high because I hope to graze sheep around them at times to keep the area informal but under control. However they start at the top of a slope about 30 feet long rising 6 feet from the house and look an eyesore being at eye level . The slope tapers but starts at about 30 feet wide I need low maintenance screen or at least something to soften the view about 8/12 feet high that is tough (windy here at 800 feet in Lancashire) thought of foreground rugosa backed with something taller such as field maple pruned as needed to control height but a bit boring maybe?? soil loamy a bit acidic shallow with rock and clay under but as a slope reasonably drained not shady any ideas appreciated

Where can I buy a ‘little ollie’
Question from
In forum: Who can sell me a plant?
Hi recently my beautiful Ollie yellow lab passed away and I want to get a plant to remember him by for the garden. I have seen on your website a plant called ‘little Ollie’ that is a shrub with white flowers however when I ring a store they want to sell me an olive tree as the Latin name is the same. Where can I buy this plant from as it has to be a little ollie for my Ollie. Thanks
