Other Plants

Some plants just do not like the confines of a pot, I tried to grow campanula in a tub a few years ago and it did nothing, as soon as I stuck it in the ground it took off!!! Val

Just saying either way, it looks short. Unless there is a variety that stays tiny. Then I would say it is young.

In theory they should take two seasons. However, as I'm doing it the hard way there's a chance that they may bloom in less time. Reason being that I'm squeezing two seasons into twelve months hopefully. BTW: pm me your address re the Dendrobium kingianum please.

Thanks Stephen.

Pretty gorgeous, whatever they are!

I did Thanks for that, Sheal.

Welcome to Gardeners Corner. Have you any idea what sort of poppy it is? If it's Papaver it could grow up to 5ft tall in which case it will need support. How big is the pot? A picture would help if that's possible please.

Thank You Kristen That may explane it

Thank you, you have also put my mind at rest, I will sit it out and make sure they get all they need.

Thanks again John - I found growing those other things last year that it really took the edge off the patio, so hopefully they will look just as good.

Hi again. Anyone have an idea why the plants I have planted that came from the main plant have wilted a little? The new plants had decent roots. I used bonemeal and watered quite a bit. I dont think they are dead, but not as upright as when they were attached to the main plant. Could I have...

Well, sal, you're thinking about the group of Clematis called Cirrhosas. They're mostly evergreen and here's a few names: Freckles Landsdown Gem Jingle Bells Wisley Cream Balearica a slightly exotic Clematis called napaulensis and of course, Winter Beauty The group Armandii are evergreen but...

Well, Provado is systemic and will stay in the plant so that when it next gets visited by pests and they suck the sap they will die. Unfortunately by the time that happens the plant will be in trouble. I take it that the Aconite is in the soil and not in a pot? It sounds like black fly...

The last 2 are showing signs of life today , do not know where it`s all going.
