No, do not divide. I have two types. Love the smell. I just prune any "reaching for the sky branches" and they are lovely each year.

yes the heater will not go under the staging but now with all the answers i have found that the staging as a slight tilt backwards this as meant that the frontpots looked dry but a few at the back was still stood in water i have now removed all the trays and will water individually dm

I have sown some Larkspur little rocket in trays indoors and it's already sprouting nicely, is it possible to transplant the thinnings into pots?

I bought an Armandii last year but managed to kill it

I kind of agree with Spruce. Hard cutbacks usually result in lots of new growth. Just a trim of any dead stuff should get it back into flowering in July.

Sutton have just put on sale vanilla grass plant on sale , I`ve seen them before but never tasted .....did anyone ever taste them , do they really taste like vanilla??????

Funny things Foxgloves. For some they grow as weeds. Others just can't get them to grow at all. In an attempt to answer the original question though, I reckon its the shock of the temperature change, possibly combined with drying out that's upsetting them. Keep them well watered (but not...

I do agree. Especially the Papillo! That is one that I really want, but baulk at the price that is generally asked for it.

Let us know in a couple of months time how it took; personally, I think you'll be alright.

There are some interesting articles on Clematis here:and this one on planting (which has a contrary view to the norm):

My back porch is practically a greenhouse so will keep in there til cold passes. Will stick it out in my border after about a week. From what i can read, they aren't too fussy about the type of soil?

pruning and feeding comes to mind as depending on the variety if he prunes too early he can cut all the blooms off for this year if its a early one , but what type is it ?? , if he has had it a while ? what's changed , getting crowded out ? less sunshine ? Spruce

Sal, Wustaba's plants are a lot more than £2.50! But a lot of them are very rare in cultivation and you can't get them anywhere else.

I'm actually about to order these at last. If anyone has found this thread from page 1 of Google, don't buy them, or anything for that matter from Plants of Distinction. They don't send goods and then ignore you when you chase them up. Utterly appalling customer service.

Thanks Kristen.

Thanks for the info Silu. Looking forward to this time next year!!!!

I took some cuttings a few years ago from my M. "charity". It needed cutting back so I used the prunings in April. I just cut the stem in sections each with a leaf joint, the buried the piece,in pots, leaving the leaf protruding. They took about 3 months to show new shoots. The resulting...

I think: Too warm, not enough light. Put it outside during the day (unless it is Arctic!) . After a couple of weeks "hardening off" when it has acclimatised to being outside (leave it out for a few nights that are forecast to be mild towards the end of the "hardening off" period) then plant...

There is some difference of opinion on this. Scientifically its regarded as a bad idea. I can't quite bring myself (much like you I suppose) to bring myself to do/believe it though ... The theory is that water is not keen to transition from one substrate to another. So put a layer of, say,...

I would leave it in it's pot this year and put outside about the end of April early May. Overwinter it in the greenhouse from November or later depending in the temperatures.The next year you could plant out and give it some protection in the Winter with fleece or dead bracken. I have had A...
