Other Plants

To rapidly increase stock. I used to grow selected plants to a reasonable size and then literally chop them up. Yes, tip cuttings are mentioned as a general means of taking cuttings. As we all know, some cuttings are taken from just below a leaf joint, others can be from any point of the...

I have given you the wrong name for the plant it should have been Primula the wife got it wrong.Do these come as bulbs or plants when is the best time to buy and plant them.I believe they flower every spring is that correct.

Since I've had no feedback on this one, thought I'd leave this useful link here, might help someone else in my situation...How To Plant, Fertilize, Prune & Water Clethra Summersweet Plants - Wilson Bros GardensNick

You are absolutely right about space and congestion Nikalaos....most geraniums do like plenty of space. I have a few here that have a spread.....Ann Folkhard, Rozanne for example...... of 2 metres plus. Not really a plant to be squeezed in

@longk Brilliant, bless you mate! I always make a bigger effort with growing seed other people have given me because I feel awful if I don't use it! Guilt can be a great motivating force! ;o)Nick

Can anyone tell me why my Salix udensis keeps dropping it’s leaves, it has lots of gold leaves but several turn brown and drop every day, it’s done this since I bought it a year ago and has grown well despite this issue

Mmmmm ....I can smell them from down here @Marley Farley

Hi it all depends on weather and where they are cause last year the winter was mild and some pansies and violas were flowering yet the previous year it was cold /snow none bloomed but waited till spring

Yes Nikalaos, remove after flowering

@CarolineL Thanks Caroline, this is why I'd like to keep it and hope it flowers at some point - people keep saying how amazing the fragrance is! Well, the plants around it seem fine but apart from being underplanted with a geranium (which would probably remain unaffected anyway) they are a...

Hello Ellen9661 I replant the rhizomes as a group in pots of mpc and leave them outside in a sheltered spot. They may not show signs of growth until next spring but they usually grow away well. Plant out when in full growth next spring Bin them if you really don’t like them but if you do...

Hi All,Hope I'm posting these questions in the right forum section. I love the look (and intense scent) of my Lonicera Fragrantissima in Winter and Spring, but I'm never quite sure what to do with it in Summer and Autumn. The branches at the top always look rather awkward and it never seems...

Mine isn't Rozanne although it's a blue Geranium and has just finished it's first flowering this year. I'll cut it back and hopefully it should flower again.

Appearances can be deceiving, so even if a plant looks dead, doesn’t mean that it is but If you suspect your plant is dead, but you are not sure, the fastest way to tell if it is dead is to check the stems. The stems of the plant should be pliable and firm and will have a green cast on the...

Thanks. I've never seen it happen before. weird lol

Hi all,Have two potted azaleas and one of them is really strugglingSoil is correct and fresh. Had a problem which looked like scorch and lace bug which is now treated and cut back several branches and removed all dying leaves. New growth came but is starting to show same effectsLeaves...

Grab a drink, this is long...I have a large pot with three stem cuttings of indoor Yucca... I snipped two of them from a huge plant growing in my Doctor's surgery waiting room (don't worry, I had permission!), and the third came from a plant my daughter has. Hers is a variegated form. Very...
