I hope I havent bought huge plants when space is tight in my garden

[Lesley Cox]

But even if they're little plants, don't you want them to grow?

[mark smyth]

I dont have them room for a plant that might grow to 12 or 18 inches across especially if they are species that dont want their leaves cut off in January to show off their flowers

These are both very beautiful, Mark.
I'd make sure I found room for them no matter how big they get.

Mark, sorry I can't tell how big your plants get, but you can rent some space in my garden if you need more place I say like Helen, I can make room for such plants! I have 5 potfuls of seedlings waiting for pricking. Hope some are as nice as yours!
