Dead Tree Opportunity

this should look lovely when all in flower angie, i have planted out my constance elliot after growing over winter indoors as told by seller, but its not looking as good, the leaves look silvery and curled not green and flat as before so hope it takes off ok, ive waited and cared for it for months, would hate to lose it now

Thanks Sandra it don't look nothing yet but fingers crossed it will look well in couple of years - thanks for tip on constance elliot will keep a sharp eye come winter xxx

im sure it will be ok angie, i think mine may be in shock after being so warm indoors all winter, time will tell

Girls, I had a constance elliot here. It never looked as healthy and shiny as the Cerulea but it had loads of big white flowers. I took it out because I didn't like the white flowers and i planned to replace it with the cerulea but never got around to it. It survived fine and seemed hardy enough. don't know how it would have fared this winter though!

Angie, I've not grown sunset, but it's a lovely colour and has a long flowering period so good choice! Piilu is lovely. I had that in my old garden and it was really pretty. Keep watering them in, especially at this time of year. They really benefit from it!

i got mine because of white flowers karen, hope it grows ok, let you know

Cheers Girls - I was taken by Sunset on account of fab colour however I had Piilu before my furry friend destroyed it !!! I had "constance elliot" however don't know whether to blame Molly or the harsh winter - Karen you'll love this when I was working on "my project" I saw some signs of life on "the dead tree" it is way way at the bottom - don't know why ?? cause the rest is dead as a doddo and brittle as nails - will post a photo as I am soo excited ( first one to say get a life gets a virtual slap) :) xxxx

I bet it will grow beautifully!

well done Angie, you have been busy

lol angie

LOL everyone - will let you know it's progess karen :)
