I have 2 of those growing in my garden... i had them in pots last year but recently decided to stick them in the ground as thought that would be better...

ive since noticed that some of the leaves now look as though they have been eaten...theres holes in the middle of the leaves (so cant be my rabbit lol)

will take a pic tomorrow inshAllah

is it likely to be caterpillars? ive not spotted any yet though

it could be caterpillars or the leaf miner http://www.muslimgrower.com/discussionforum/showthread.php?p=5664#post5664

when you replant them they usually wilt and the leaves crumple up, but after some decent sunshine they usually bounce right back.

I think thats the bush my dad had planted along the back of the garden! It's gone now but I'm hoping to replace it, just couldn't figure out which bush it was. Thanks Foz!

I've got one of these :D came with my dwarf pear tree! It's an hydrangea 'tivoli', its blueeeeeee and tiny, and the leaves are a bit purplish :tumbleweed: but it's recovering nicely! I potted it, too kep it in the sunshine.
