Darmera Peltata

I've just Googled this as I'd never heard of it before. It says it is good in damp soil and is slow spreading so I've added it to my wish list. Think I will have to do some reorganising before there's room for it :)

Sandra put a photo on of hers on yesterday Gee , My ground is dry so hubby has dug out a deep hole for me and put a plastic half barrel in so that I can keep it moist , I hope it works ...

Where there's a will...., Amy :) Sounds like a good idea to me. I take a look at Sandra's photo too.

I had this but it fell in the pond, or someone mentioning no names pushed it :-(

looks a healthy one amy, hope it works for you, mine getting so big, i will have to try divide it later i think,

Sounds very suspicious Kathy .... they don't fall in by themselves do they !
Gosh do they grow that quickly San .. ?

well got mine last year with only a few leaves and now its 3 times as big i would say, love it ;o))

amy look at my pics page 23 second row, thats when i got it last summer, then you will see how much it has grown

I've had a look San , the leaves are gorgeous I hope mine grows like that ! I passed your pics. of the beginning of you pond on the way , how it has changed , the pond looks as if it has always been there now .. :o)

yes i love the leaves to and flowers pretty and tall, yes my pond has settled so well amy, im so pleased, got 6 little goldfish now ;o))

I know I saw them , it will be nice to sit and watch them on the summer evenings , we had a large pond and fish in our last garden but the Herons came down every evening at dusk and stole them .. ... even with a trip wire round the pond ......

thats a problem amy, we get herons here, a place called gerons reach not far up the road ;o((

You'll love the flowers in Spring Amy, and then of course the leaves come later.

I'm looking forward to seeing the flowers Dawn , not that I want another year to pass too quickly I'm happy to wait . :o))

I know what you mean Amy, time flies. You'll have the bronze leaves in the Autumn first.
