Melianthus major

Fantastic.......one of my favourites foliage plants......ours is looking good in all this rain....

Angela I protected mine with fleece last year as it was new but am unsure as to whether I need to do that this year ,do you protect yours every year ?

Amy, we have never protected them, we leave all the foliage on, then cut it down in the Spring......

Angela ,do you mean you cut it right down to the base in the spring ?

Not the base....usually about 8...12 inches, as it was a new plant, we didn't this year.....but will next year!othwise they get too leggy!!

Thanks for that Angela , I had to re-pot my new cutting yesterday the roots were sprouting out of the bottom of the pot ,I'm surprised its taken so well :o)
