Black Grass

Ive got this one Mot, but its nothing like yours, it doesnt seem to have grown a lot since I potted it last year.Yours is beautiful.

This is about 6 years old Lins....They are slow....:>)

Oh thanks Mot, I thought I was doing something wrong.Got a rotton virus at the moment, have had hardly any voice for a week raw throat, absolutely terrible cough and bad chest that I could certainly do without. Hope you and your family are keeping ok anyway.

The family is doing well, Thanks Lins....Poor you, hope you get better soon...I hate having a cough, its hard to get to sleep isn't it....Just take care xx

I know they're hard to 'get going' Hb...But they do need good soil, good drainage and mine are in a fairly sunny spot, they grow from underground runner type roots, but self-seed easily, once they make headway they will self seed around the main plant an increase its size....Supposed to be quite easy from seed too...:>)

I have it in my pots it does Ok..I only found out recently that they like acid soil...I will have to pot some up in ericaceous compost and see the difference.

My soil would be on the acid side....Hb..have you had the plant long?

Lol...That is a long time Hb...I agree you need to take some action...:>)
