Iris reticulata, celebrating some sunshine![ATTACH]
What is your approximate location @collinsc (county will help), what direction does your front garden face, what's your soil like (eg loamy,...
You could wrap the tubs around the sides with mesh tall enough to accommodate the height of the flowering bulbs and cap this with more mesh. Not...
Grr, that’s disappointing @ViewAhead. Not a Chelsea award winning service, but I hope the plants excel in quality when they do arrive :).
Thank you, yes nice deep blue and a light blue contrast. There’s also some yellow blotches discreetly hidden. Slugs abandoned my garden when I got...
I felt the same about my first Iris reticulata on Wednesday which has been joined by two more today, with more on the way :blue thumb:.[ATTACH]
That's interesting to know @LunarSea. There may be differences in scent according to variety. Mine is S. hookeriana var. digyna. Confusa sounds...
Yours sound more appealing than mine @AnniD :). I think I might recruit mine to the potential space for a new plant category soon!
I grow Arbutus unedo here and it has survived some severe pruning despite being not recommended. It’s comparatively mild here though. I did a...
I’ve grown two varieties of Sarcococca and am still not convinced that the smell is pleasant, does anyone else think this?
The cash is used for paying the dealer, so it’s not traceable, unless you’re a sniffer dog :biggrin:. Admittedly you’d need a lot of coins for...
I don’t use cash. I use one of three different reward credit cards and earn either cashback or loyalty points every month. Someone who trained...
Try both and see what you think. I grow both, chosen for the colour combinations and how well they go with other plants in the container. Hanging...
I also think a long handled hand fork is the best all rounder, for weeding, raking, turning soil, moving bark mulch around and searching for my...
My first Iris reticulata opened today. It doesn't look like any of the 5 varieties that I thought I'd planted![ATTACH]
You must have magic soil where you live @Thevictorian :biggrin:. I've grown several Buddleias here but they've always been rather lacking in...
My initial thought was that the plants look to be very closely spaced. Normally a gap of 2-3 feet is suitable. Also being bare rooted the plants...
I had a Buddleia globosa when I first moved here @Thevictorian. I treated it differently to other Buddleias by not cutting it to ground level,...
If you apply it this month it will break down and become available for the plants to take up as they start actively growing in March/April. I use...
Mission accomplished. Pruning the two shrubs has made a big difference, the garden feels bigger and I can see a Camellia in full flower from...
