Hi I have a very large bank that I'd like to have these cascading down (I've had them at a previous property on a rock wall and loved it!) if I plant them along the top of the bank, how far apart sideways, and down the bank do you suggest I plant them please? Thanks. Mel.

I'd aim for 1.5-2 m apart at the top of the bank and the same spacing across the bank. Use a diagonal planting pattern so you get more consistent filling of the gaps.

The spotlight often lands on Schefflera arboricola (Dwarf Umbrella Tree) and Gardenia radicans, but Rhubarb Victoria, Malus Tom Matthews, and Quince Smyrna deserve a standing ovation too.
