My Montanas, group 1, in Norfolk, have finished flowering. They don't need pruning unless getting too big, in which case do it straight after flowering.

The one that looks particularly unhappy is Precious Memories but I'm not sure of the other one, as they were both gifts and the second one was one where you could name it for the recipient, so I don't know its actual name, other than it will definitely be a shade of purple/lilac when it flowers!...

That'll be nice - I hope! When it first started to grow, I thought it was a Japanese anemone that I'd forgotten I'd planted. As it grew, it obviously wasn't.

Thanks all, makes sense. I'm getting the sense slugs/snails are bad this year? I have no prior experience.. I thought it was just our area for some reason. I planted out some correopsis plugs in the border that i bought from a supermarket in april, my assumption was they could go straight in...

Best advice is probably to have a look at it before parting with your dosh. These days horticultural grit seems to be £6 for 20kg which I don't think...

Here's one of mine that survived the winter (there are another two). I took down the basket that it was in and put it in the pot with fresh compost last weekend, and it's already producing flowers. And I have some cuttings taken maybe 6 or 8 weeks ago, ready to go into baskets.Once again I...

My apologgies @Butterfly6 for not making things clear. As a ZSL pensioner, I receive a number of complimentary tickets each year. I can't make use of them myself so I offer them to others . If you/your daughter would like any, I will just need your name and postal address to send them.
