brought home a Dicentra, bleeding heart from the allotment.
They say they do not like been disturbed, we have had that plant for 15 years now and would hate to lose it.
It is now planted will have to wait until spring to see if it made it or not.

I had to abandon the idea of planting wallflowers in that narrow strip.
When i removed some of the pebbles there was nothing but hardcore.
So i had to revert to plan B the wall flowers are now planted in terracotta pots and stood on that strip instead. ;D

Hi Tel, I'm not too keen on offering advice on what to plant where as it is such a personal thing. usually what happens is that after a time it all gets changed anyway. Having said that perhaps down the alley you could consider a Pyracantha which can be trained virtually flat against wall/fence and will cope well with shade. flowers in spring, berries galore later. Anyway, just a thought. Good to see the birds are being catered for too. |

Thanks for the suggestion SP, if i can remove some of that rubble down that very narrow strip, that would be a ideal place for a couple of them.  |

I agree with that and they won't mind a bit of rubble either.
