Enjoyed your tour. Your plants are looking good despite the winter we have had. Your hebes have done well. As you say, most, if not all, will come round with a bit of heat and sun. Spring is nearly here!
Great to see you back on the videos. The garden looks good considering the time of year. My winter lows was -2.7°C here on Tyneside but wind chill similar to yours to add on. Your red stars have done well considering. The chaemarops will do great at your place. Cheers 👍
Thanks again for watching. The garden is mostly evergreen but has not done to bad despite that wind, you didn’t do too bad with that temperature. Did you get the snow? we escaped it other than a few flurry’s.
@@mywalledgarden Snow-wise it wasn't too bad. Like you we're protected a bit by the coast. Your chaemerops will do great. I have one which has been planted 12ish years. No hassle whatsoever. 7ftish now and the best plant I have👍
Good to see you back and look forward to seeing your garden over the next year. Ps. I have the same Hebe in the same cold affected condition, but many signs of new growth already so 🤞🏻
Thanks very much. It will interesting to see the way everything comes back. I can see there are buds now lower down on the Hebe. Come April it should be on the way back.
Hi, yes I think there are, I’m sure I have read somewhere that the vast majority of plants in New Zealand are evergreen. Thanks very much for watching again. let’s hope this better weather keeps up.
It is interesting looking at all your hebes. We didn't get the frosts that much but I always have a problem with hebes. I think I've got 'magic summer' and it took a hit.
Your garden is great. Beautiful. 😍 I've recently purchased a red cordyline. What are your recommendations on care? Soil, compost, watering & feeding etc. I'm growing mine in a container.
Thanks very much for your comment. The Cordyline will be happy in a pot for a while in multipurpose compost. they do grow quickly though so you may need to repot it after a couple of years. Like a lot of pot grown plants you will need to give it a feed in the spring. They seem to like a bit of water so I would do this when you have a dry spell. They are not fussy plants. This is less hardy than the green variety. You will need to protect in winter if the temperature is getting towards -5c or you have prolonged cold spell. As you have it in a pot you can move it to somewhere during a cold spell. The older this gets the tougher it gets.
Your lucky with your hebes, I have a magic summer hebe and it has lots of black stems from the snow. I’m in Surrey. May I ask how do you keep yours shrubs so compact? I have a Tom Thumb and it’s so sparse everything just grows off one main stem. Great tour,can’t wait til the spring
hi, thanks very much for watching, I think one thing that went in my favour was that although we had the cold and the bitter wind we didn’t get a lot of snow. In fact in this part of the uk we don’t get a lot of snow most years. I think the Magic summer might have looked the same as yours if we did. As I’m only growing the Tom Thumb for the leaf colour, I regularly keep it pruned as tight as possible throughout the growing season. Has your Tom Thumb shrub always done that or is that something that started to happen over time?
This was a very very useful review for me. Thanks a lot for sharing! Have a tender winter ))
Thank you very much for watching Im glad the video was useful. We are having a tender winter so far.

Thanks, I think we’re all looking forward to the warmer weather aren’t we! Thank you for watching and I’m glad you enjoyed the video 👍

The Chaemerops are great, I have a fair few now.

Love your garden!!
Thanks very much I appreciate it 👍
Beautiful garden . I try to follow your ideas in India with local plants of same height and texture . From Kolkata, India. 🙂
Thanks very much for your comment and for watching, people here would love to grow some of the plants you could grow in India.
Hebes are they all evergreen ?? Great to see your back it can only get better from now on 👍👍👍👍

Hi Paul, yes it will be interesting to see how the Hebes respond. The Albicans seems to be a lot tougher than the others.
Thanks for letting me know - I'll look out for one.
Lookin good 😊
Thank you 👍

My Walled Garden yes it’s always done that although I used to live in a flat with a north facing balcony so it spent it’s first few years in a pot.
Hopefully your hebe will recover in a few weeks time and we get another warm spring.
the small mahonia looks palmy.
Yes it does, They would not look out of place in any tropical planting scheme.
