Not a heat-lover, then. But it isn't half as sensitive to hot,
dry conditions at the root as many of the books say.
In that case, how about some ferns or heather? Haven't got a clue
whether they'd cause any trouble for Mr. Thomas. The garden centre
said they'd be okay, but their advice has sometimes been a bit iffy.
They recommended pansies, but they're not really my cup of tea.
