Looking forward to seeing their display later Philip - should be good if they are about the same height Jenny

Spreads well and roots as it goes if allowed to wander along the ground. Not fully evergreen here, but it has survived the horrendous winters over the last 3 years.

Worth checking Seagrave during the Winter, often 50% off at that time ...

My 'Sundance' was buried under a snow drift for two and a half weeks but isn't showing any signs of frostbite.

I'm guessing you'll need a couple for polination?

But they'll be attached at some point to the new growth. Best to chop them out rather than invite further die back...

Thanks for you answers.I can see now why they flower same year as planting or overwinter. Good one on tip about pinching out tips.

I have a couple of books on Tulipomania in Holland in the 1630's. Its a fascinating insight into human behaviour. It was all caused by Holland, who had 50% of the world's merchant shipping and trade at the time, and so had a massive increase in the money supply - which invariably leads to a...

Yes, good idea. I'll also ask the owners at East Ruston what they grow, next time I'm up there.

No, do not divide. I have two types. Love the smell. I just prune any "reaching for the sky branches" and they are lovely each year.

yes the heater will not go under the staging but now with all the answers i have found that the staging as a slight tilt backwards this as meant that the frontpots looked dry but a few at the back was still stood in water i have now removed all the trays and will water individually dm

I have sown some Larkspur little rocket in trays indoors and it's already sprouting nicely, is it possible to transplant the thinnings into pots?

I bought an Armandii last year but managed to kill it

I kind of agree with Spruce. Hard cutbacks usually result in lots of new growth. Just a trim of any dead stuff should get it back into flowering in July.

Sutton have just put on sale vanilla grass plant on sale , I`ve seen them before but never tasted .....did anyone ever taste them , do they really taste like vanilla??????

Funny things Foxgloves. For some they grow as weeds. Others just can't get them to grow at all. In an attempt to answer the original question though, I reckon its the shock of the temperature change, possibly combined with drying out that's upsetting them. Keep them well watered (but not...

I do agree. Especially the Papillo! That is one that I really want, but baulk at the price that is generally asked for it.

Let us know in a couple of months time how it took; personally, I think you'll be alright.

There are some interesting articles on Clematis here:and this one on planting (which has a contrary view to the norm):

My back porch is practically a greenhouse so will keep in there til cold passes. Will stick it out in my border after about a week. From what i can read, they aren't too fussy about the type of soil?
