A SOS to any green thumbs out there
I have always found gardening to be therapeutic and it has given me great joy. However, after a major crisis with Mr Darcy's health I have not had been able to get back into it. Have other gardeners suffered from a similar hiatus and how have you recovered and got going again?

PS have a spot that needs filling any recommendations for a 1m high cool climate white flower plant?

Funny & believable @Smc Yet not so funny, because people actually do things like that...
If I was the gardener who planted those Hibiscus cuttings, I would have been tempted to do something to his mower...
Poor hibiscus cuttings, they didn't stand a chance...
