Do the slugs eat this Spritzhenry ? They devour mine every year. Not so bad this year though.

I only get snails here, Hywel - and they haven't bothered with these plants, thank goodness! Are yours in flower?

22 Apr, 2009

 

Yes I've put a photo of it on GoY.
Well I have snails and slugs. lol. and they enjoy this plant. I've put it in a pot with gravell now so I think that's better.
It's next to a white Dicentra and they look nice together.

I went and found it! Lovely. Do you know if there are any differently coloured P. divaricata, Hywel?

I've just looked on Google briefly now and I found one with a red eye - it's called " Chattahoochie "
There's a white one aswell.
I found them on www.westcountrylupins.co.uk

Ah-ha, Hywel - thanks. I had some plants from them by mail order this year! I must check out their plant list. The ones you found do sound lovely!

Good luck. I may send for something from them myself.

I found one in Andrew's plant list! How about that!

I shan't order them until next year now, as they will be in bloom and wouldn't travel well, I expect.
