    Hi all,
    anyone got any advice re: feeding these plants??? I have a couple of different sorts, a Rhodocoma Giganteum (anything that says gigantic usually finds it's way into my garden!) which is throwing up some new bamboo-like stems so I guess it's happy?? However, a chondropetalum tectorum (think thats the name) has been in a year and aint doing a right lot! Was wondering should I feed it??? [​IMG] For some reason my brain is thinking that I maybe shouldn't?????

    I've not grown them at all windy, but I tend to think you may well be right about not feeding them.
    I would guess also that they need very good drainage and perhaps a roasting summer.
    Hows the weather down that way? :D

    Roasting Summer???????? [​IMG] [​IMG] Looks like it's out of luck this year!!!! :rolleyes: :D
    Suppose I'll have to be a little bit more patient....will refrain from standing out there shouting 'grow ya b*gger' as it's obviously not doing a right lot of good!!! :D :D
