uncinia rubra everflame grass

that is rather nice Paul love the colours,

Hi Yorkshire - thanks - a real fav grass of mine :)))))

Yeah I agree, the colours are great.

Pretty stripy colours, Paul.

Nice one :o)

Thanks Franny and Terra - sedge type - going very red :))))))))))))

'everflame' , thats the one I have Paul, wish Id bought a couple now but it was pricey enough just for the one. Are they tough enough to get through the winter?

I think they're pretty hardy Bampy - remember seeing yours in the gravel really nice

great colour paul :o)

Thank you Sandra :)))))))))))))))))

Bampy
They are not 100% hardy best to cover the crowns with a good deep mulch .It is a New Zealander not known for hardy plants.

Ahh!! many thanks for that Bjs, its a new addition this summer so have no experience of these re overwintering. It has gone the most wonderful colour. I will give it the TLC treatment immediatly, already been out there with a torch so a quick covering with sacking & a cardboard box over it will help. Its the open Fen blasts that do plants in which is why I keep all my acers in pots so I can put them in the polytunnel each winter. Bit of a pain but friends lost their acers last winter but mine were ok so I dont mind the extra bit of cuffuffle.
I dont know what part of the country your from Paul but I expect yours is better sheltered so fingers crossed they make it.

Very nice. The leaves look like a houseplant I've got. It's a tri-colour dracena.

That's why I'm not a true gardener - I don't have much knowledge :(

Thanks Sheila :))))))))

Lovely..this was taken recently? You still have a lovely garden..mine lokks awfl now! :((((((

just other day Pixi - you wanna see my grass - it is really crap - gets me frustrated - all the work and every year - even when left it looks like a football pitch - looks great in summer - bad in winter.

Yep moine too :(

may end up slabbing whole garden - see our lawn gets about 1 hr sun per day in winter - so it just can't dry out and dies off from lack of sun - really love grass but frustrating too

I only have a teeny bit lawn lol.....aw dont slab it!!!!!

there's that or - extend the plant area - take out grass and put trees and all in with a little path to pond

Paul thats beautiful....Love the colour.......

Thanks Milky :))))))))))

yeah...better idea! :))))))))))))))))))

Thanks Homebird :))))))))))))))))))

yes Pixi - least no flooding worries and more plants :)))))))))))))))

:))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

and more tags!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

oh yes lol

very nice colour to it..

thanks Surreylad :)))))))))

Lovely colour.

Thanks Clarice :))))))))))))

I lost mine last year Paul,but it had seeded itself in the gravel,so if you look closely,you might have some little ones..it also seeded itself among the other grasses,which looks good :o)

Thanks bloomer - prob mine will die now thanks to the frost :((( still always buy another one - just love reds :)))

I had it a few years,Paul,so it did ok..think last winter was just too much for it..so you might be lucky..Hope my dwarf Red Robin survives,as I love red too :o)

Yes hope ours survives too - red robins a bit tender too :(( such beauties though :))

I have noticed some of the new red leaves look a bit worse for wear,Paul..might throw some fleece over it,if it gets really bad..

yes :((( getting milder thankfully - certainly not looking like a white Christmas this year
