If anyone knows what the shrub is called that would be lovely as I couldn't see a label anywhere and there wasn't anyone to ask either.It stood about 5ft tall and had a similar spread(unless there was more than one plant) The leaf ( photo / image / picture from Kiasmum's Garden ) Sadly,no flowers...
I have no idea what this plant is but I love it. Could you take a picture of the whole plant one day?
Oh dear,that would mean having to travel back to Wales Barb... I'm pretty sure we will be back that way at some stage because it is sooooo beautiful so it wouldn't be much of a hardship. In the meantime though,the whole bush was a myriad of leaves exactly the same as the picture,some bigger and some smaller.
Do you have a Botanic Garden near you or a large nursery? They could help ID the plant for you. Failing that get in touch with the Royal Horticultural Society and furnish them with a photograph. Do let us know if you manage to get a positive ID. Here's the address for the RHS: The Royal Horticultural Society 80 Vincent Square London SW1P 2PE
Ooh,that's a good idea Eileen.I have RHS membership,and if they can't ID it then I don't know who could!
I have not had a chance to look that up yet, Kia...however, I did see it on Gardners' World this past friday evening. It was early on in the show and was only there for a sec or so. Did you happen to notice? It occurred at minute 2.16. http://youtu.be/IbC2HJGI-dA I shall try and look that up after I rest-up a bit from this weekend. hahaha.
Went out and Googled that and I do believe that is it. Now I want one. That is such a nice leaf. Thanks.
That is definitely it Sjoerd. Thank you so much for your detective work! I didn't see the programme as Mark and I spent a couple of nights in London and when the programme was aired we were enjoying a wonderful meal in the hotel restaurant. Thanks again for the ID.
You are more than welcome, KM. It sounds like you guys had a good couple of days in London. That plant really has impressive foliage, doesn't it.
