    What wonderfully healthy looking flowers, whis4ey. What do you feed them with?

    Lovely to see whis4ey ... mine bloom in the early Spring.

    Also see your Hydrangea is just going 'off colour' .... again, mine is Spring.

    Such are our seasons .... :)

    Thanks peeps
    I never feed anything Daisees ... well seldom :)
    With a garden the size of mine it is quite simply beyond me to do that ......
    Those pokers have been there for about 35 years now and have never been fed anything ....

    whis4ey, lovely plant.
    Will it be ok to move mine, and are they easy to split?

    I have never tried Moira
    My plant was a division given to me by a friend many many years ago. It took a year or so before it flowered for the first time, but has been doing great ever since.
    I have never disturbed it :)
