Please can someone let me know the characteristics (height, cover etc.
etc.) of the prunus "Cherry Brandy"? (My RHS book is too old I
think!!!)

Another subject concerns a ground cover plant which, I think, is a
hypericum for its yellow blossom tells me it is but I'm not sure. I
cannot find it in my RHS book of plants and flowers. It's evergreen,
seems tough, spreads by sending out wandering roots and is wonderful
for covering banks under trees. Does anybody know its name and can it
be grown OK from seed?

Cheers

Hypericum calycinum, known in this country as Rose of Sharon - do not
confuse it with Hibiscus syriacus (USA) or Hibiscus mutabilis
(Australia, or so I'm informed). Presumably it can be grown from seed;
at least it's in the Chiltern Seeds catalog. (I've got some seed filed
away myself, but it's 15 years old, and I wouldn't trust it at that
age.) Alternatively if you have a source, it can be propagated from the
suckers.
