PUSHING THE BORDERS

@Paul
They are on top of the hedge and I've enhanced the drainage but, as you say, it is a little bit damper on this side of the island, so I will just have to wait and see.
Umbilicus oppositifolius sounds like it might be another candidate to go on/in the hedge. I'll have to add that to my "where can I lay my grubby little mitts on them" list.

There was a large colony of Chiastophyllum oppositifolium on a Cornish hedge in Nancegollan for years. I haven't seen it recently. Overgrown or redeveloped possibly.

Dare I ask for more precise details as to where in Nancegollan?
I go through there at least once a week visiting my daughter and her ankle-biter.

On the west side of the B3303 in the stretch of development just north of the pub that became Crown House and Lodges. Looking at it on Google Earth I fear the particular wall may have been 'tidied up', but I'm not sure that was the right house. It was on that stretch though.

I've seen it for sale somewhere recently as well, but my aging memory isn't telling where!

Possibly The Old Withy or Bodmin Herb and Plant?

Chad

Over here in the east it is very often to be found in the larger garden centres in the alpine section along with semps and saxes. It self-seeds but that is only a good thing, especially if you are populating a hedge with it.

Is Tolvaddon mild enough to get away with aeoniums? Some, at least, would do very well. Ditto many of the echeveria like E. elegans, rosea. Bromeliads, too.

Thanks Chad .
Right. Next trip down I will have a nose around. That is acually Crowntown, but near enough. :D :D
I've not come across The Old Withy. I must nip down and have a nose around and see what goodies they might have lurking.

@Paul
I am sure Aeonium and Echeveria would be more than happy, but I wouldn't. :( :(
I've had an interest and have grown mainly Cacti and some Succulents since I was knee high to a grasshopper, but I have never been drawn to either of these 2 genera or many of what I crudely call "leaf succulents".
