This site has details of many cistus when grown in Oregon, and table 3 shows that this variety has one of the longest flowering times, but only two months. Rockrose (Cistus spp. and Halimium spp.) Evaluation for Western OregonI searched Flickr for photos of cistus flowers, and they were all...

I'm only an apprentice Gardner but I've noticed my clematis does this . It will prioritise certain stems over others and then if they get damaged will send up its shoots its held back in reserve. The way it follows the sun each day and raps its tendrils around as well its amazing.

Thank you

Your Camassias look great, lovely shade I once bought pink tulips from Poundland to make an impressive spring container. It was indeed impressive, 29 pink tulips and one yellow

Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and recommendations. I've decided to try a shrubby Salvia in that location which I'm going to move from elsewhere to make room for some sweet peas. I've got a list of other options now though if it fails!

Yes the green things, sorry I wasn’t very clear. Thank you, I’ll see how the treatment goes and if it doesn’t work I’ll dig them up. I was aware when I planted them this may happen so I will replace with pachysandra terminalis to edge the path if it doesn’t.Thanks for your help

I've figured out the problem!! Little slugs are eating the outer layer of the stems!

Thanks everyone! I won't give up on it! That white flower crab spider, which you can just about see on the photo at the top, has been occupying this plant for weeks now. It's been fun!

The early macropetala I have is often not finished until the end of this month - it doesn't start flowering until late April/early May. Lots of those earlier types flower from April through to late May, but I expect it also depends on location. Montanas are in full flower here just now. When I...

It normally takes 6-8 weeks for them to die down after flowering, the leaves go completely brown and can be pulled away without much pressure. In our lawn we just mow around them if we have to mow but we don't mind longer grass.

I tie the plant to the front of the wire but leave enough space in the loop bit for the stems to expand - you don't want to strangle them as they grow. Where the string is tied into a knot I move the knot to the back so it's not rubbing on the plant. I use cheap garden string which rots over a...

A good mulching with organic matter - ideally rotted horse manure or something with a lot of fiber in it will help air get to the roots which will help too. Good luck

I've got a flower bud on "Wishes and Dreams".

Yes exactly like mine Blooming pigeons!

Hi all New to this forum so hopefully this is correct as followed the set up instructions I know this question seems a bit premature as we are only in May.I have 3 evergreen agapanthus that will require winter protection. They are in large pots and I do not have a greenhouse. Could anybody...

It's the reason deer fences are the height they are. A 6 or 8 foot fence is no problem to them. We don't have thsoe muntjac ones here [fortunately] but I'd expect getting through a gap would be the way they'd dget in, as @shiney describes.

Hello allThanks for the Replies, it is appreciated.I have now Moved a few to better positions in the Garden, hopefully they recover well.ThanksKevin

Yep divide it if you want. I've found the use of reciprocating saw the easiest way to do 'divisions'

Definitely not from any neighbour - they don’t do anything except grass. I live next to a tree lined gorge and if I look over my fence, I can see lots way down beside the burn at the bottom. This is best I could find on google. Will definitely keep now tho. Thanks all.Anemone nemorosa...

@Aries - first of all, welcome to the forum. That’s a very cute looking dog.Sadly, it does look your tuber has gall. Sometimes, nibbling by slugs and snails can cause an over-enthusiastic development of ‘eyes’ but I can’t see any evidence of that from the picture. A lot of fused shoots...
