Free: Cutting of Lirope (Morden SM4) Hot and dry for this little lady. It would suit a rockery but will grow perfectly well in the garden. Comes up every year, I cut mine down at the end of the season but you can leave it. It can be planted straight in the ground. It has to be in the sun.

Free: White Lacecap Hydrangea (Morden SM4) This is a very pretty hydrangea, I like lacecaps because I think that they are quite delicate. It is not ready to plant. I would grow it in a pot until it gets bigger. Don't transfer into a bigger pot wait a few weeks. Hydrangeas like a semi shady spot, they will grow in the sun as long as they are not baked all day. Cuttings are always worthwhile because put them in and forget about it , keep doing it and soon you will have a lovely garden full of plants. Good luck I am happy to include any other plants that are listed.

Free: Woodruff cutting (Morden SM4) Gifted I love this very pretty woodland plant. It spreads slowly and has wonderful white flowers in spring. I grow amongst my plants but it’s a typical plant to grow under a tree or around some shrubs. It goes away in the winter and comes back again in the spring & will spread slow slowly. Its ok to plant.

Free: Golden Marjoram herb small clump (Morden SM4) Gifted I have taken up a bit that is overcrowding one of my other plants. I hope somebody can make use of it, please grow in full sun if possible and they like poor soil. It can of course be used in cooking and the bees love the flowers. So do the ladybirds. Plant straight in the ground. It is an ideal time to plant. I wouldn't be without it I love it. Cut it down to the ground in winter. Can be grown in pot or trough.

Free: Hardy Pink Geranium seedling (Morden SM4) Gifted Hardy pink Geranium measures about a metre by metre when it’s fully grown. It will come up every year and has pink flowers as shown in pics. The slugs don’t seem to touch it so it’s a very good plant. I cut it right down after flowering and then you may get another flush. They are very good plants to put in between roses or to fill out your borders that are very reliable. You can plant now , it is a very tough plant, just plonk it in.

Free: Sambucus black beauty shrub cutting (Morden SM4) Gifted This is an extremely beautiful shrub and very large too it is not for a tiny garden. It can grow to 10 feet high and at five foot wide. It has pink flowers which is very stark against the black foliage and followed by black berries. The sunnier place it is in the blacker the leaves will go. Mine is in semi shade. The picture with the pink flowers is from the Internet the other pictures are from my garden. THIS CUTTING HAS ROOTS BUT NEEDS TO GROW A LOT MORE BEFORE PLANTING OR YOU WILL LOSE IT. I reduce mine in the winter to around 3 feet to stop it getting too big. When it is fully grown. Please remember that all my cuttings are small plants and will take time to grow.

Free: Helenium cutting (Morden SM4) Gifted This is a very easy to grow plant. The flowers shown are in my own garden last August and the slugs don’t seem to bother them which is great. As you can see they make clumps, I only ever had one plant which I have divided up over the years. I do what they call the Chelsea chop in May. This means I literally take the shears to it and reduce it by half. In another part of the garden I’ll let it grow taller. An easy to grow a plant and all it needs is to be cut down at the end of the season. It will pop up again next year. Keep it in its pot for at least another 2 weeks then you can plant.
