Its probably changed since his day. :rolleyespink:
If its not your property, I would be inclined to tell the landlord and leave it to him to organise any repairs. However on a practical basis, I...
Kristen, I think the name Maurandya has now replaced Asarina, but people often resent name changes and still use the old one. There are many...
I would agree with Sheal, conventional wisdom says that its better to move (and divide) most perennials in spring. The reason being that any...
These names are very confusing. Having just learnt the name Asarina, you now tell me its Maurandya and I gather also Lophospermum as well. Whilst...
Best of luck Stephen. I suspect that there are probably more plants than we realise that will take a bit of cold weather - in my case frost. I...
Kristen - do let us know how you get on with your Costus. I see that there a few sites selling seeds, including Jungle Seeds with 4 varieties. And...

[ATTACH] Dahlia imperialis. Not a very imposing flower, but I was delighted to see it - I never thought it would flower outside in Yorkshire. The...
Mine overwintered quite happily in a frost free greenhouse, and is now growing well again. It was quite tall in its first year, so I can well...
What terrible news - I am so sorry.
Thanks for the compliment Clueless. There are some more of my garden pictures in this thread...
Hi Heather. As Pamsdish said this is perfectly normal. In fact the little green stalks were their first leaves, which are now dying down. This is...
Those are superb Scrungee. I have only had them up to about 9 feet and am very jealous. Being colder up in Yorkshire they don't flower till the...
I have tried to overwinter them before - just frost free. But they didn't survive. I later had a Google and realised that they need to be quite a...
From the colour its looks like Knautia arvensis, which is a quite pretty wildflower - but not so easy to get rid of.
Well done Bilbo. And thanks guys - this thread has been an inspiration - on re-reading . I am currently growing several from seed. They have done...
Do you think it is just a question of heat - Pete?
