Would You Buy Plants Off...?

If I was starting from scratch I think I'd grow stuff from seed mostly. It gives me a nice sense of satisfaction knowing that it's me that has grown things from the get go. Plus I love the fact that gorgeous big plants can grow from the tiniest little seed!

 

Personally no, you dont get good value from Ebay due to postage costs, I have been disappointed with most Ebay plant purchases.

 

Hi @longk and everyone,

Here's my plant list:-

Japanese Holly Tree (GOT)
Japanese Painted Fern
Camellia japonica Moshe Dayan
Lonicera japonica var. Repens - Creeping Japanese Honeysuckle
Crytomium fortunei - Japanese Holly Fern
Hakonachloa macra - Japanese Forest Grass, Hakone Grass
Camellia japonica Peach Blossom
Japanese White Pine (to train into cloud tree)
Japanese Larch (to train into cloud tree)
Seeds Miscanthus sinensis
DICENTRA SPECTABILIS ALBA(BLEEDING HEART)WHITE (GOT)
ENKIANTHUS CAMPANULATUS REDVEIN (GOT)
Acers (GOT)
Wisteria (GOT)
Hostas (GOT SOME)
Ferns (GOT SOME)
Climbing Rose (thinking of James Galway)
I’ve a tree that I can’t remember the name, but the leaves smell like burnt caramel in autumn (GOT)
Cercis Silaquastrum Judas Tree (GOT)
AZALEA
Japanese Anenome
Blood Grass
Rhododendrons

Where I've put (GOT), these plants I've got already.

The one thing I can't seem to find is plants that look like moss, which that garden designer uses on his garden at Chelsea. I think they are plants, as you can't buy & plant moss.

 

Could you be thinking of "Mind your own business"?

Are you sure? I find this an invasive weed - some will agree, some will disagree. Three years after digging it out it still keeps popping up.

 

Hi @NCFCcrazy Thanks for that, but the one I'm thinking of grows more of half a tennis ball shape. What I could see on the TV anyway.

 

Hope not @longk as it's hard finding flowing Japanese plants at the best of time and weeds are the last thing I need

 

@JWK I totally forgot about Irish moss. Is it bad for spreading?

 

I don't know if this helps or not, but I know what you mean. Unfortunately I can't remember what it's called but someone did put a post on GC either last week or the week before.
I'm sorry I can't check through, I'm only on a mobile and you need someone with a computer.

Perhaps if you start a new post/thread asking about Japanese moss balls the person might see it and give you some answers.

If I do catch sight of it I'll let you know

 

@NCFCcrazy Thanks and I'll look through old posts now

 

Here it is still trying to grow through the Acanthus and popping up around the main bed. It's not so bad in the lawn as the mower takes care of it there.
At my other half's I had to lift about a dozen paving slabs to get rid of it.

 

Hi Clum, it was me.... not NCFCrazy :(

 

Eeeeee @Anthony Rogers I'm so sorry, I looked in the post & saw @NCFCcrazy so typed that. My mistake:(
