Brugmansia

Alas my 2 x Brugmansia and a number of cuttings didn't survive the winter :( I don't suppose anybody has a spare rooted cutting they would be willing to part with? I am happy to pay P&P etc. unfortunately none of the local garden centres have any.

 

Far too early.

Pay a good price and get a good plant from a specialist. I recommend Hill House Nursery.................

Are you sure they are dead? mine havnt sprouted yet from the root but im sure they are alive,my stems are dead for sure thou x

 

I checked the roots and plants at the weekend, they were brown and dead - definitely no life left in them. They were over-wintered in the garage.

 

I bought a sanguinea from my local one a couple of weeks ago, but I'm guessing you want something that flowers in the summer .
Might have a Grand Marnier going, but only just starting into growth.

PM me if your interested.

 

How cold does your garage get?

 

Thank you for the recommendation. £14.50 P&P for 1 plant is a little on the steep side.

 

I overwintered some large plants in my garage, one which I dug up out of the allotment, they all appear to be alive.
I do keep them bone dry, the kind of conditions that a young cutting is not likely to survive.

 

The garage is probably as cold as outside I guess. Plants were kept above ground level and fleece over the base of the plant and top of the soil.

 

I left mine in a unheated GH and mine look a yellow brown shade im sure they are not dead,ive trimmed the roots and repotted them in smaller pots..fingers crossed x

 

Not if you saw what you get! This was about four and a half months after it arrived in the post...........

 

What a fab plant. Looks like a grand Marnier?

 

Obviously it wasn't anything like that big as it was mail order. But they are forked, really strong and ready to grow like the clappers!

 

Yes I am interested Pete but not sure how to PM I'm afraid

 

OK so I PM ed you
