Yippee The flowerless clemetis from last year has flowered can I please have an ID please

Hello allWell, I have managed to move the Hosta to it's new home.I sprinkled some Blood Fish and Bone around it and watered it well.Hopefully, it will recover and continue to thrive.Thanks for your help.Kevin

I'd suggest doing the scratch test of the bark in various places. It looks to me like its died.

I think due to the cold spring, well its been a cold one where I am, there is still time for the later varieties.When are you looking only they close up at night and open up as the temperature rises. I don't see anything wrong in your pictures.

It's back in the workshop now until it stays warmer.

yes transplant now as you are running out of time to move ,,, if you move august they will die !! ... reduce the size of the plant by a quarter and then once potted up keep in the shade and out of strong winds , try and get a large root ball water the night before ..... no need to feed just...

If the tulips are deeply planted, a light watering, (enough to keep the top 1cm damp) won't affect them, but it will help germinate the poppies

@CarolineL The wisdom of planting in exactly the same spot had crossed my mind and I'm looking to put it in near the same path rather than in the same place. You are right they are not a cheap plant to replace.

You're welcome.

Thank you. They've all been fine and dandy and it's still minus 2 at night here .

So do the roots actually grow into the coir pots? If they do it must be a struggle to remove the pot and cause a lot of root damage.There is nothing wrong with plastic pots, if only they would reuse them.A nursery near me had a big pile outside last summer and a sign saying, free pots take...

I too don't know but I found this Nasturtiums have a long flowering period – from summer until the first severe frosts of autumn. Nasturtiums are either annuals or perennials, and can be low-growing bushy plants, trailing or even climbing. How to grow and care for nasturtium |...

I seem to think they do have some hardiness, so worth a try, think a shady dampish spot that doesn't get too much frost might work.You could try dividing it and potting a smaller piece up to keep indoors again.

Thanks folks I will certainly look at Taylors.I do that ‘hiding plants at the back’ thing too at garden centres.

I just assumed it was Hippeastrum,

Thank you all. I'v pulled out a fair bit and applied weedkiller to the rest. Lets see if it buggers off!

I was only guessing, but they had a very South African look about them.I think agapanthus are from there too ( could be wrong) and also kaffir lillies, although the latter don’t do well in my dry sandy garden either.

Hi Ricky,Thanks for your suggestions, much appreciated. To be honest the hedge is about a 40ft mixture of Laurels, Blackthorn & Privet, so there is no real even look. I have thrown in a few Blackthorns and a Laurel as well so when they all grow it should look like the rest (a jumble! ) it’s a...

Something like that will always be better in the ground IMO.Save the smaller less hardy, large flowered ones for pots.
