Well.. I think the tall upright thing IS an Himalayan honeysuckle so have planted it as such, in an area where I could do with a thug to sort the area out!
And after leaving them way too long in their bags of soil I decided to plant the Hebes out and then cut them right back like a buddleia (harsh but worth a go) as I don't want to introduce spotty fungus into the garden at this stage in the year.
Finger's crossed!
