Except it was actually rather hard to make the choice. They sell a huge variety of plants and narrowing down what I wanted to trial was not easy. But I thought it about it logically and decided I would choose something that was already on my list of I need more of plants, and something off my list of I really fancy that but really I should be spending money on things that are on my list of I need more of plants.
I have mentioned previously I am now planting up my driveway. One of the plants I want to feature quite heavily in this planting is hydrangea and I already have two in place. So I looked at the hydrangeas on offer (of which there were many) and I chose the Hydrangea aspera Hot Chocolate. I liked the color and thought it would blend in well with the rest of the planting (most of which does not exist yet).
The second plant I chose was more of a fancy. It is tender and therefore will need cosseting, but I do love a good passiflora and I had been looking at them on their website only days before the trial offer came through. So it felt it was meant to be that I would have a Passiflora Alata This is not a cheap plant, but it is very beautiful.
