This box shrub has been growing happily in its container for a good many years but I am trying to simplify things here and am ready to pass it on to someone who might like it.
Box hedges can be shaped the way you want them......ovals, squares, topiary etc.
Thanks for looking.

This waterlily is just coming away with new leaves. The flower is white.
I have decided I won't have a pond now so somebody else can enjoy this water plant.
The container can go with the waterlily.

Hardy and doesn't mind drying out.

I've had one in a large concrete plant where it can fan out beautiful showing off its Gysolphilia like flower fronds about 15 years and its still doing well. ( I think it got its roots down through the hole in the pot into the ground though)

Suitable to grow in a pot, or in a rockery or garden edge.
Now is the time to plant the rhizomes after the plants have flowered and had a rest. They will bulk up over the Summer and come out in flower early in October next year. Always a lovely surprise as the Miniature Dwarf Bearded Irises are one of the first to flower.
Bearded iris like the sun, and don't mind the frost at all. Easy care.

A large lavender blue gently ruffled bearded Iris, with gold tipped white beard.
A reliable and hardy historic iris, usually the first to flower in the iris season.
This is a nicely established plant potted up last season and ready to slip into a place in your garden.
Bearded iris are easy to grow, especially this one. They do like the sun and a good frost is welcome too. It hardens the outside of the rhizome which likes to sit on top of the soil.

Bearded Iris are easy to grow. They like to sunbathe and are frost hardy.They like the sun and a well drained spot in the garden but this plant survived some serious soggy ground this past winter.
Plant them with rhizomes sitting on top of the soil. This one could be eased out of its pot and put straight in the ground.
