'Established' is a good word, much used in garden books, 'the plant, when established' ... Oh, become established quickly, quickly, garden!

Then neglected, Till at last the loiterer by the gate will wonder At the old, old cottage, the old wooden cottage, And say, 'One might build here, the view is glorious; This must have been a pretty garden once.
