You could try it in a container perhaps like we do mint if it is a small plant..

Six Salvia hians seedlings in a 3.5cm pot that needed potting on! After teasing apart................. (Shows the airy mix well)The dunking water..................Job done...........................

No need to apologise @noisette47 - that is the joy of threads for me, they develop into a wider conversation; I'm not one of those who seems to think they 'own' a thread just because they posted it.

Different flowering time, but if you are going for scented climbers, climbing around hoops, you might consider Jasmine, Stephanotis and Hoya

See me after class I can tell you the name of that syndrome: its "couldn't afford not to have it" syndrome

Don't know anything about Pin and Thrum, and no idea if this is relevant, but just chucking it into the mix in case of interest:Many Apple varieties are self-sterile, or partially self-fertile. Although the partially self-fertile may be fertilised by pollen from others of the same variety...

I managed two fifteen minute weeding sessions today, so I have started at least a little SPRING Well it was until we had the pea sized hail stones at 14:00Jack McH

Yes 6 out the 8 seeds are already growing.

The only perennial poppy I was worried about was the White "Checkers" as that disappeared underground all through the Winter while the others still showed leaves. However, when tidying up one of the borders yesterday I uncovered it from a pile of leaves and debris......so now I'm happier!!

I massacred my weigela last year because I get so fed up with its shapeless habit. Showing new buds now but it sulked for a while. No flowers this year, methinks.

I got given a new wooden stepladder a couple of years ago (one of the engineers in work bought it but they made him get rid because it didn't comply with H&S regs). Never knew what to do with it until now so thanks Marley

They also have the most amazing fragrance (if you choose the right ones). I have some out the front. They keep coming back in greater numbers every year. Definitely worth having. I'm glad you reminded me of these because I'm at the stage of planning for this year, for parts that are as yet very...

share opinion. Please do so. Thank you

I'm just in from the garden (hurt everywhere!) and have made up my mind I have to move either a Camellia (Anticipation) or an Euonymus Alatus . Not keen on pruning at the best of times but just to reduce a shrub's size is not something I like to do as I'm lucky enough to have huge amounts of...

I was just wondering if anyone else had experienced this - I planted crocuses in all my beds last year, and now they've come up and begun to bloom I noticed something funny.The ones in the alkaline/neutral bed have all come up yellow underneath my viburnum, and the ones in the ericaceous bed...

I always make attractive, painted timber surrounds for cheapo plastic window boxes, so the same could be done for planters, but plastic planters should be coated in acrylic paint to decorate.

The thing is....soil texture is just as much a factor as acidity, but books rarely mention that! Rhodies, camellias, hydrangeas...they've all got fibrous root systems that need a friable, even sandy, soil to do well. That's why they do well in a pot of peat-based compost, even if not...
