Other Plants

They look brilliant Roders! Thanks for the info on Tortworth Plants @Perki, they sound great. I've bought a few PBR plants over the years but they were only slightly more expensive than their non-PBR counterparts, nothing like these echinaceas! £6.66 - The Number of the Beast, sounds like...

Hi Nigel, Thanks for your reply. Yes I think next summer a mulch will be in order. I'm thinking we may have moved them into an area that's too dry. We'll see. Thanks again

I discovered whst was causing the floppy yellow leaves. The heat! Is this common in transplants?

Unfortunately this happens quite often. When a tree or large shrub is being planted, note should be taken of it's eventual height and spread, including root spread if possible. It's much to close to the fence.

Thank you. I was thinking because they’re young they may need fleece . The hollyhocks are not in pots , but still in the ground and a good foot high now . Ok, I’ll put the potted plants near a sheltered wall. Thanks people

Looks like a Pellaea rotundifolia These can take a dry period better than most other ferns. So it may be salvageable.Give it a good soak, keep slightly damp, and it will hopefully come back.

I think you have more than one plant in that pot,looks like 3 or 4 to me. They sell them like that to make them appear more busy.

I have these as well, but I'm going to bring them into a shelter for the winter.I've also got T. zebrina in a hanging pot, and it has been in the sun , and another one I don't know the name of but no photo, they can root into the next pot if you're not careful.

Thank you for your responses. I am glad that it is mother nature playing with me and not reacting to me!

Possibly a bit late this year, but I would spray with a systemic insecticide. It might stop re-infestation next year.Have a close look at the shoots, the kind of scale insect I'm thinking of is like sticky yellow blobs that you can wipe off the stems. Tried to take a picture of one of my...

I had a hunt round and found a plant labelled as G yoshinoi in a pot. It had finished flowering a while ago and needs a bit of TLC. However it appears to be low growing with leaves unlike Yeo's description and your photos. It actually looks quite like the description given for the seeds I...

We went to friends yesterday and this is their Begonia 'Argenteo-guttata', Angel Wing Begonia, which was a cutting of mine from last Summer. This is it's second blooming. The lower stems are already cuttings of the original. It lives on their balcony.This is the mother plant who has lived...

Thank you for the ideas @Michael HewettWe currently live in a rental place and most of the double glazing on the windows is shot, so they aren't as warm as the kitchen window where the Orchid is, so it would be nice to have some plants that don't mind being a bit chilly and bring in some...

That was another one that got turfed out, however Allium tripedale (nectaroscordum) is a far better behaved relative, slightly shorter and more delicate flowers are less droopy, so I now grow this one.

Oh, no! Right, let the interrogations begin, no mercy

Thank you very much for your reply and help, I'll follow your advice on the yellow leaves ....probably will lead me to understand what pattern the chlorosis of the leaves is following. Thanks <3

Thanks Perki. I shall attack it after this years display.

Thanks for that. I shall leave them on.

Thank you for the information. Oh good because it's minus 4 here in Leeds in coming weeks!

They are bare rooted they are called double delight, I was planning to put them in the same place but I'm starting to think that nothing is going to grow there and maybe I should grow them in containers insteadI put sand and soil in the holes I dug for them to improve drainage, but I had no...
