It should still flower in spring. :smile: Some of the cultivated ones are slightly less tough though, so it might depend on the variety you have...
That's really interesting @Silver surfer - I didn't know fireblight could affect rowan. Never seen it. I've had rowans in every garden I've had,...
Meant to say - trying to grow lupins in a woodland really won't work. They're mostly slug fodder here so I don't grow them now, although there's...
They cope with all the rain we have here @NigelJ , so perhaps something else going on? Or a poorer layer of drainage lower down? I cut mine back...
I've never had greenfly/aphids on foxgloves. You can sow foxgloves at almost any time of year, but you have to remember they're bi-ennial. There's...
A damp, misty start, but very mild again. O'night low was 8 degrees [10 just now at approx. 8.00 am] with a predicted high of around 12 or 13. To...
The niger hellebores flower even earlier - from about November through to January or so, depending on location etc. so that could be a useful...
They're fabulous @Tidemark . I must show them to my older daughter - she loves that kind of thing too :smile: There's often published reports of...
I'm not sure I'm understanding this correctly, but - why have you got the planter sitting on grass @Pipcas?That just creates problems, as...
A damp/smirry start with an o'night low of 10 degrees [11 just now at approx. 8.05 am] and a predicted high of about 12 or so. A decent breeze,...
Didn't have time to do anything yesterday, but it rained on and off all afternoon anyway, so it would have only been a few bits and pieces. Will...
Mine mostly flower in late spring/early summer. Lots of plants are a bit out of synch though. I've got Ajuga re flowering and Armeria [thrift] has...
Looks reasonably normal for the time of year. The photo is too far away though to be sure of anything. Sorry. Some of the [very plentiful] ones...
Yes - that's the problem @pete. Even where I am, it means darker conditions for kids going to school in the middle of winter, and of course -...
Yes - it would be important to ensure that it wasn't going where it would be a problem @JWK, so proper labelling or marking of beds/borders would...
In a small space, plants [of any kind] have to earn their keep @ricky101 , so it's better to have something that will suit your site and conditions.
That was my understanding too @Allotment Boy . I don't grow them as we don't eat very many, but I'd also be a bit wary of using it on any site...
It depends on the label and it's adhesive. I have a little knowledge of it, becaue I used to live with someone who supplied the adhesive paper for...
I agree with @hailbopp re the wet cold for them. I can't keep them [the evergreen ones] alive here unless they're overwintered undercover.
A damp, cloudy start. O'night low was 11 degrees [12 just now at approx. 7.45 am] The temp went up in the evening, after dropping to about 8...
