marigolds

lovely flower box richard

Thanks alot Sandra I didn't realise that anemones grew quite so tall as I've not grown them before.

no i havent but yes quite tall, better in border or own pot i think

Yes very true I'll remember that one for next time. I was surprised that they are quite spindley and blow around a lot in the wind.

yes they are so pop a few together if in pot alone, suport eachother, maybe it will be stronger next year richard, try to keep it over winter or put in border

I wondered if the anemone would die back after flowering Sandra and I could just keep the bulb ( or is it corm?) in a paper bag and replant it next year. I have never grown them before so not really sure what to do with it !

i think it dies back, but would have to look that up to be sure richard, get back to you on that one :o)
back ..cut back the old flowers and foilage to 6" top dress in spring with general fertaliser, so thats that richard easy peesie lol ps. they come back year after year and grow up to 60"

OOO that is a bit tall Sandra! Thanks I will do that and keep them in a tallish pot. When I plant them out next year I'll put the pot on the ground instead of planting them in the shed windowbox as I won't be able to reach them lol.

i thought that was tall but thats what it said on the tag i found richard,

I wouldn't be surprised if they grow to 60" Sandra as they are about 24" tall already and this is their first year!

and they are in box so more room in border richard , so probably right

They're also called windflowers...lol

Yes Sandra I need all the room I can get in the border as it is quite small !
I didn't know they were also called that WH !

Anemones are....not Marigolds! (see your 2nd comment down).

he`s talking about the flowers next to marigolds in the box WH

Thanks Sandra and WH , I understand now Doh! I'll put it down to getting old -I'll be 30 next birthday lol he he (tongue is changing colour!)

no you were right richard, its posted maigold but we were talking about anemones next to them, so no probs :o)

Thanks Sandra I must be still young then :-))

yep must be :o)

It's me that's getting old...can't see...where's me specs...oh, there they are...on my head! lol

lol W..H,,im as bad always asking where they are and on my head, stress!

The shed colour and marigolds look wonderful together Richard...Not too many Mr. Snails there...I could send you few families, if you like...lol

No thanks Motinot they will clash with the colour of my shed - but thanks for your kind offer indeed .....lol
