Eagerly Awaiting!

Ive been overwintering the tender stuff in the garage, it's been unheated and the plants have dealt with it perfectly.

Here they are at the moment..



In the photo:
Fuchsia triphylla
Lantana camara
Calamondin
Citrus limon (Standard Lemon)
Tibouchina urvilleana
Aeonium arboreum
Justicia rizzinii (somewhere in there)
Schefflera arboricola
Aeonium scwartzkopf
Washingtonia robusta(s)
Agave americana (probably would be fine outside but it is its first year)
Bougainvillea glabra
Alocasia brisbanensis poss.

 

That Tibouchina looks really well! Have they had any heat in there?

 

None whatsoever.. I did put an old curtain down to prevent touching the freezing floor, but just sun through the window (not that we've had much).

I'd like to think I could, if I gave it a sheltered area, grow a Tib outside, afterall I wouldn't be the only person who's managed that here in Wirral.. however, I don't want to lose it.

 

Mine copped it in a sheltered spot this winter
