Bottle brush (Callistemon)

I think you said it Nathan if its in a small pot. I bet its pot bound, they make masses of roots. Is it a hardy one, or the one in the pic. which is a bit tender, I've grown that on a wall sucsessfully but not in the open. I now have a narrow leaved plant (rigidus)which seems to be totally hardy.

 

'Everything comes to he who waits' Something like that anyway. :D

 

Looking good Nathan, looking good.

Now,what about that lawn??
(Rug rat race track)?? :D

 

Did the flowers come out ok Nathan?

Datura seeds free with Amateur gardening this week and Callistemon free next week!

 

Its a bit late for Datura seeds aint it Steve? :confused:

 

I've sown them hoping they get up enough to over winter...I think the packet was priced at �£3 and as it was free with a mag for �£1.50 i didn't like to argue

 

No see your point, what kind are they?

 

I'll post what they are tomorrow Pete

The greenhouse is down the bottom of the garden and when you walk down at night all you can hear are snail shells crunching under your feet....come to think of it..I'll fetch the packet now :D

Cheers Nathan, I'll sow the callistemon next week
