    Hi folks. Easy question for you guys (and gals). The polyanthus are now coming to an end as far as flowering is concerned. Will they flower again next year ? Is it worth keeping them ? Cheers...freddy.

    Hi
    You can lift them and replant them out of the way for the summer and then bring them back out in the autumn, giving them a good tidy up and a feed.

    Hi,
    I split mine every year with a sharp knife and I now have banks of them for fantastic spring colour. Last year we let some go to seed. Planted the seeds and had loads of seedlings to plant out too.

    Good luck

    Hi folks, thanks for all your replies. For some reason I thought maybe they were only good for one year, happy days :thumb:
