Hi there dearly delicious people.
It's been some time since I've been able to concentrate on what's going on in the garden and on the plot as I've been down south for pretty much the last 5 months helping to nurse my poorly Mum.
Sadly we lost her in late February, and said goodbye to her yesterday.
At some stage she had said she wanted to buy me a witch hazel bush as they were advertised in a Sunday supplement one week. We never got round to doing anything about it.
Now some of my time is my own again, I want to get one. I know nothing about any of the Hamamelis varieties and would appreciate some help before I just buy the first one I google.
One of the drawbacks at the moment however is that I don't know if I'm staying put up north, or end up moving back to the sunny south, so ideally it would have to be in a pot for one, possibly two years before I find somewhere to lay my hat.
I'd prefer a fragrant variety, brighter colour the better. When's best to plant, and is ericaceous compost required .... you all know the sort of questions I need answering.
Thanks as always.
