Wink Re: "Amythest Beautyberry" shrub...

Yeah Penny, it's actually called "Wilt Pruf" and I got it at Van Luuks greenhouse on Hamilton Rd at Gore Rd, in London. Maybe you can pick some up next time you're here. This is what it looks like...





It's a waxy type spray that keeps the plant or cuttings from losing moisture, thereby preventing any wilting. Really great stuff but be prepared to spend 20 bucks for it. You don't use it a lot though so it's not like you have to buy it all the time. It's an excellent product and does what it claims.

Works well on Rhododendrons, Evergreens, Boxwoods, Azaleas, Hollies, Laurel and other ornamentals. Excellent for drought and windburn protection. For cuttings and christmas trees too.

Hope this helps.
