very pure white, lovely! B...I heard that a local nursery was in trouble so I went out there today and bought 2 more silver birches!! lol.....:)) I managed to also keep 'Crocus' in business. They sent me three clems, a kirengeshoma and a teucrium today! We also dug out a small border in the front, so there will be more purchases over the weekend....a nice little local nursery in Arbroath this time I think! :)) Just as well I have no other vices!!

Wey-hey! Go girl! I planted a Kirengeshoma last autumn - I haven't seen it appear yet. I hope it does. :-((

I had one in my last garden - they don't really get going until mid summer so I'm sure you will see it then! Lovely plants!

Thanks...that cheers me up! I saw it in an open garden, and 'had' to have one - you know that feeling, don't you.

Erm.....can't think what you mean! ha ha.....by the way, my salvia verticillata is growing!! hurray! it has survived!

16 Apr, 2010

 

Oh that IS good, Karen! :-))) I had one left out of three, and a tiny little shoot - but a cat scratched up the shoot. I have ordered two more - they should arrive next week, I can't do without them!

I'm going to have a go at propogating it this year B. I need to decide what's the best way though - perhaps some basal cuttings...need to consult with Carol Klein!!

I'll look in my RHS Propagation book, it might tell us how.

OK - split the plant, take basal cuttings, or collect seed! Lots of ways. :-))

I found a whole lot of seedlings last year and potted them up - but of course I sold them on the plant stall....

Oh, thanks! Well, I don't think I'll risk splitting it, but I will try to get some basal cuttings and I will collect some seed! Sounds easy enough! That's exactly what I would have done B...sold them all and left none for myself! I feel you and I have quite a lot in common! lol x

I found a tiny one left so I've potted that up and it's getting LOTS of TLC......Fimgers crossed! Why didn't they seed themselves this year when I needed them? One of the imponderables of life, I suppose.
