Free: White Lacecap Hydrangea (Morden SM4) Gifted This is a very pretty hydrangea, I like lacecaps because I think that they are quite delicate. It is not ready to plant. I have potted it on today. PLEASE WAIT UNTIL THE ROOTS FILL THE POT BEFORE PLANTING. Maybe even keeping up until spring to plant out 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 and keep doing it and soon you will have a lovely garden full of plants. I am happy to add plants if they not promised

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. Happy to include other plants if not promised.

It is tall and grows to about 5 feet and is about a metre across. Plumes of fluffy white flowers adorn it in June - September. It is a herb and has its uses but I have no idea how to use it. The seedling has been out all winter and is out now. It’s ok to plant now if you keep it watered. It will recede in the winter.

Free: White Lysmachia 6 roots (Morden SM4) Gifted It’s a lovely plant and it’s no trouble at all, the slugs and snails seem to ignore it. It will spread slowly and come up every year.

They die down and come up in the spring. Ready to plant right away. Just plop it in. Sorry they are smaller but will soon grow. You can dot them around on bare patches.
