in Plants
I bought a couple of Choisya (Sundance) plants almost three years ago and although the plants look healthy, they don't seem to have grown much at all since I've had them.
Can any one please advise on what care I should be giving them at this time of year?

Sun or shade?
What is the soil like?
Do you feed / water them?
Photos would help.
Cause he thinks she melts when he touches her
She knows she's the chocolate girl
Cause she's broken up and swallowed
And wrapped in bits of silver
I water them weekly when I do water changes on my fresh water aquariums, plenty of fish waste in the water. No feed other than that.

I suspect if the soil wasn't worked before or since that it just needs a good feed but not now. This autumn, after plenty of rain has fallen, give it agood mulch of welll-rotted garden compost or spent planting compost which the worms will work into the soil over winter and thus improve its texture.
In spring, give it a good mulch of well-rotted manure and a handful of pelleted chicken manure or blood, fish and bone to give it slow release nutrition and occasional feeds of liquid tomato feed up until mid July. That should help with growth and flowering.
Not heard of the pelleted chicken manure before, is it something that my local garden centre should stock?

OP - you haven't told us anything specific that raises alarm bells other than the soil wasn't worked on at all. That doesn't really help either - if it was a good loamy soil that would be fine but if it was rock hard clay subsoil or waterlogged that would be the reason they are struggling.
Bit more info needed about the conditions. It could be all sorts of things causing the issue, but without adequate info, it's hard to be specific. Exposure to cold wind and cold winters for instance, aren't appreciated.
