Rostrinucula dependens - 2012

Looks healthy. It is not very common around here.

Klahanie - it's not very common in the UK either. but then I like growing unusual things

A new one to me......love the way the flowers grow.

Reminds me a Buddleia. Flower is more exotic and weeping?. I like the plant .

Klahanie - yes, it is like a miniature buddleia flower. And you treat the bush just the same, cutting it back hard in spring. That keeps it to around three feet; unpruned it would probably get to about five feet.

DD - I bought it from Larch Cottage Nursery in Cumbria (good for mail order)

Thanks for the info Andrewr, I will look around here and see if anyone grows it. None of my friends have it.

Very pretty with dainty flowers

Thanks Andrew, do you use Bob Brown much Cotswold GF?

DD - yes, I have used him as well

Very pretty flower, is it on your garden?

Aleyna - yes, I've been growing this for three years now

Does it disappear during the winter, or stay there with no leaves or flowers?

It's a shrub so it stays there with no leaves or flowers. In mid to late spring, when new shoots are showing, I cut it back hard (like a buddleia)

Thanks for replying Andrew, I was thinking that when you guys say "cut hard" it mean cutting the plant that are in your garden. I'm wondering if this applies to the ones planted on pots.
I've followed the instructions to prune the whisteria and it is coming back very slowly.
