Shrub suggestions please
I have an east facing corner at the junction of two tall hedges, which
run SE and NE respectively. The hedges are at present leylandii, but are slowly being replaced by undergrowing with Olearia traversii. The leylandii will be gone in a couple of years. The corner is sheltered from our SW salt gales, but because it's in a rain shadow and because of the leylandii, it gets dry in summer. When the leylandii have gone, the soil may not be so dry as I don't think the O. traversii are so thirsty. It gets sun in the mornings until about 11am in the summer, but not much in the winter. The soil is acid loam, well draining, and minimum temperatures are about -3C. Location: west Cornwall. I'm looking for suggestions for medium to tall flowering shrubs (say in the range 1 - 3 metres high), preferably evergreen, preferably with coloured flowers, preferably a bit exotic to take advantage of the mild climate. Any suggestions? -- Chris E-mail: christopher[dot]hogg[at]virgin[dot]net |
