Today's video features the evolution of my narrow jungle border, planting a new evergreen Phyllostachys bamboo hedge plus hardy exotic Trachycarpus & Chamaerops humilis palms and an explanation about the gardeners’ mantra ‘First year sleep, second year creep, third year leap’. Whether you’re planting palms and bamboo, or trees, shrubs and perennials, patience is key and plants need to be given time to settle in before they really get growing. I discuss the reasons why plus my top planting and care tips to help new plants settle in quicker, grow stronger and hopefully overtake those large, expensive specimen plants we all want for instant impact!
