I planted it last year and it grew well but this year its not doing so well Paul

I planted mine last year too Drc - it grew well, but I decided to move it into the sun a bit more, which also meant it got caught by a wee bit frost - which has probably set it back a bit!

Perhaps it the awful weather with mine too Scottish.

Mines is looking great now P....I think both Drc and I were disappointed because when we first planted last year - they looked great immediately!
Although I can't speak for Denise - mine seemed to take an absolute age to get a 'glow' from it - not the proper word but it just looked dull/sad.

I don't know how it is with you Scottish..But foliage is looking better than ever on many plants down here...The flowers seem to be lagging a bit.

25 Jun, 2012

 

Aye....well!!!! Plenty of foliage that's for sure. I'm really disappointed with the severe lack of flowers.
I chopped my oriental poppies down today. I was just getting so fed up looking at them. There was still about 15 buds but it was bothering me and reminding me how far behind my garden is!!!!!

Hi how does your lady in red look now and what size has it grown to? I bought one last year and kept it in a large pot to be planted this summer. It was pretty shaded and most of the leaves start off red but then have developed some green variation. I imagine this is due to lack of sun wjere I had the pot next to a fence. It would only get sun from about 3pm until the shade developed again around 7pm. The leaves taken a while to grow too but despite this I have lots of buds.

I did read that they colour best in full sun. It looked great when I purchased it from Bents last year.
