Bill McKenzie would be good, but there are LOTS of others. Are you
anywhere near Cambridge, and would you be prepared to swap a Bill
McKenzie for (say) an Akebia quinata?

Bill McKenzie is a brilliant plant, very robust and so easy to look after,
I
love it :-)

Me too - I have to resist the impulse to have it absolutely everywhere. We
usually get two flowerings in a season, too, and even the seed heads are so
pretty.


Lovely sprayed gently in silver and gold for Christmas! ISTR that friends
of mine who did this used hairspray first - on the seed heads, I mean!


Oh, that's a lovely idea Sacha. I'll remember that one.
