I spotted some very young plants in B&Q for £1.50 which I thought very reasonable, amnd have just picked up some from "sootys" in southport for a fiver each but they were whoppers. I can package a couple of the babies off to you give me a minute I`ll go outside and count how many I can get.
Okay, this needs to be done one step at a time. Ive got some pics, but need help with how to take cuttings from them, I have only ever divided them before. I have a baby that is fit to go as is, but cant remember which one I took it from so that ones pot luck. And as usual my pics will be enormous so apologies inadvance if its a pain the aspidistra to go through the post. And its my pleasure Tweaks, anything for one of us! This is the baby thats ready to go- and the rest I will label so you can indicate which one when giving instructions. A B C D-the base of C And just coz I am the proud Mum of another little baby Ain`t she pretty! I will also need instructions on how to package to send off to you chuckie egg, nebver done it before.
There are some great colours there lass. I shall PM you my address and give you my telephone number and we can go into detail yea. That reminds me. I promised a New Zealand Flax to someone, must look up the email as it is now ready to send. Catch ya later.:thumb:
Sorry Claire, didn't read your post properly. I don't know how to take cuttings from Astilbe's. Propagation is usually done from seed or splitting isn't it? So I'm flummoxed.:confused:
I have only ever divided them before so not sure either, I will google it and see if I can get one simple technique.
