Tell us: do you have a plant that has proved hard to kill?

Not all of us are naturally green-fingered – and so it is always a joy when a plant not only doesn’t immediately die but thrives in our care. Many of us will have, at some point, acquired a form of greenery that it has proved impossible to kill – even if you have an impressive track record when it comes to plant fatalities.

If you’ve got an example of foliage which has flourished against the odds, then we’d love to hear about it. Perhaps you’ve had your plant for many years without any sign of wilting? Maybe you’ve no idea what species your longstanding plant is, or why it’s continued to bloom? Either way, we’d love to know more about it – and we’ll be asking gardening expert Jane Perrone to share her thoughts on your submissions, too.
