bargain plants

Good one Sandra!

cheers michaella, hope they come back next year for me ;o))

The shoehorn again San!! some of the Rudbeckias are tender.

lol dotty,, so both these are annuals, thats not good then, so have i wasted my money dotty,, why would they sell them if not going to come back next year ;o((

San, I think this Rudbeckia is a half hardy annual...and the Osteo is a tender perennial....

Well done San .. I do like a bargain .......

My Stardust is in the front garden which is south facing. It seems very happy there :-)))

moti if its half hardy annual does that mean it wont come back, why would they sell them off if not going to come back, doesnt make sence does it ;o(
thanx amy ;o)
thanx annella i will plant it facing south and hope for the best ;o)

a good bargain

cheers yorkshire ;o)

Half hardy means what it says, you might get away with it, if....... the weather is favourable, the price reflected that San, we bought some lovely Rudbeckias last year some we left in and others took out, all of them died, you need fully hardy on the label, there are many very hardy Rudbeckias.

thanx dotty i didnt know when i got them as labels a bit worn, but will take chance, if i dont get them back iv learned a lesson lol cheap anyway, thanx dotty ;o)

My prairie sun is still flowering. I shall take it into the conservatory soon though, and see if it survives. Worth a try San...you live and learn don't you. Some of the stuff the gc.s sell off cheap is embarrassing. Some of it needs putting on the compost heap, they have such a hard neck selling it. As for the osteo, I've overwintered them out in the soil successfully in mild winters. I've put mine all in pots and stuck them in the greenhouse. I don't think they will survive in there, they will probably rot. Last winter I took cuttings and they grew well, but this year I couldn't be bothered! Time will tell...worth a try.

Sorry i didnt get back to you sooner San....I see you've had plenty of advice....Maybe a good mulch on the rudbeckia and hope for the best San....cuttings from the Osteo..or again heavy mulching..or...both....:>)

thats ok moti, thanx for addvice i will make sure i do that and it works, will try cuttings also ;o))

very nice hun

thanx cristina just have to try keep them over winter now lol
