I've always called this azalea my OH's as he was given it as a birthday present by his workmates.
It's 2 days past it's best, but I thought I'd snap it quick and post it.
Now how can something which is basically all white bring so much 'colour' to the garden?

and as for the Catnep
Well - if I didn't know I'd say it was a nettle. I do hope it comes up with a flower sometime. It's certainly growing well

They're acid loving/lime hating Alex.
Mine (OH's!) has to grow in a planter full of ericaceous compost and needs to be fed with sequestered iron etc as it would stand no chance on our chalk

What a lovely azalea. Mine has well and truly gone over this year - still smells of BO though!

My catnip seedlings are coming on well, but are only about 3 cms tall atm - in a hanging basket in the greenhouse out of harm's way.

How lovely, I like the bright pink ones but this white one is beautiful!

That's a lovely azalea. The catnep foliage does look very much like my catnip foliagewise; mine is starting to show the beginning of flower buds will post a pic when it does.

Lovely - I have pinks and oranges but cannot seem to get the white to flower.

Now you have made me so envious!
