@Spruce absoulutely love your Daylily collection.. can you please suggest some good evergreen varieties

 

Why do you want evergreen ?

I have lots more to come as I have over a 100 its better to choose what flowers that you like , the evergreen depending on the winter do get damaged and look tatty come the spring , and going into winter they all have a hair cut to tidy them up, I prefer the ones that die right back into the soil.

thank you

Spruce

 

@Spruce okie then plz advise on the ones tht die right back... i love all my lilies this year so planning a lily Armageddon for next year :P

 

What colours do you like and what form most of mine are Spiders or Usual forms have a look at my albums will be best as there are thousands and how much you want to pay.
I will add you so I am following you , you can have a nose then

 

Val looking great I grew these last year I can never get them to grow the following year

Sandersonia aurantiaca

 

Just Day Lillies? or Lily Lillies too? (I have suggestions for the later, but not the former)

 

A few more things in flower around my garden right now, nearly all of which are self-seeded. Isn't it great when nature does the work for you?

Petunias brought home by Mrs Trunky, don't know the variety, but the lobelia in the pot with the box behind it just appeared by itself so I let it be.



Hollyhocks. At the end of summer I simply scatter the seeds around and they come back every year.





Lavender growing near the corner of the greenhouse. Just a couple of seedlings which appeared there a couple of years ago, I left them to it and they've thrived.



Patch of foxgloves. Again, all from seed scattered around from last summer's plants.



Had them for a few years now, but can't remember what these are. Can somebody remind me please? Whatever they are, loads of seedlings appeared, scattered randomly around the herbaceous bed last autumn. So I lifted a few and planted them in one clump to give more impact.

 

Is this 1st one a weed??

Poppy..

Salvia..

Fatsia..

Blue poppys hiding behind my echinops..

Tropical breeze lilys..

Ox eye daisy..

Achillea..

Clematis..

 

Do you know which one Joolz? I struggle to find ones that are properly red (as yours is, in the photo at least, maybe not that strong a red in-the-flesh?)

 

No i dont know its name but i know where i bought it kristen so will pick you one up when i go if he has any left,it is that red in colour x

Just remembered what the mystery plant in my previous post is. It's Teucrium hircanicum 'Paradise Delight' (common name Caucasian Germander).

 

Yes, but I let a few of them grow as I quite like them.

Does it have big lower leaves?

Why can't I ever get these to grow?

I was waiting for someone to answer that - choice!

 

NO joolz. I don't call it a weed - I think it's a delightful little thing and the bees adore it. You have Linaria pupurea and Linaria Canon Went ( the pink form),
and I love your Clematis Sieboldii... - it must be in a very warm and sheltered spot?
