    Hi
    Has anyone had any success with growing Uncinia rubra? I have very free draining soil and have tried all the usual enriching/moisture retaining. Does it require a certain pH? It does ok in it's 1st season, then just sort of fizzles out. Any tips would be appreciated, before I go out this weekend and get another one!
    Cheers Bayleaf

    Cheers Ladybird [​IMG] Uncinia is HP coloured though!! Look forward to the pic, not seen that before. Have you tried Astelia? Lovely shimmery,silver colour,broad strappy leaves. + Helictotrichon, more "grass like" & dead easy. Have a good Easter
