Holboellia latifolia
A while ago it was suggested in this newsgroup that I should buy Holboellia
latifolia to cover a trellis (to be used as a screen from next doors conservatory) The trellis will be 6ft by 4ft. The on-line supplier sells these plants in 7 litre pots. how many pots would you think I would need? TIA |

It's a vigorous plant and you may find you will want/need to give it a haircut every autumn. We've never seen one of ours fruit but we've had fruit from the one my son has in his Jersey garden, so you might be lucky. Then you can go in for propagating your own! -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' |

I decided against on-line ordering and so.... a 160 mile drive today I now have this to plant. hopefully it will turn a little cooler so that I can make my effort today worthwhile |
