Question to GrowsonYou 03 Sep 2014
Thanks Littlelegs and Seaburngirl. The Morning Glory had a hard time kept indoors and quite a few were lost. The survivors flowered fairly well in a window box in the garden.
NEXT QUESTION if I may. This is a small London garden. I was able to make space for a small flower
bed and have planted euphorbia Fireglow, not expected to flower until next summer; they are
growing well. So are some delphinium Black Knight which are outside in large window boxes;
they are flowering. I am nervous that the forecasts are already talking about early frost,
and we are sure to have a cold winter. These boxes are too heavy to take indoors. Please advise
on protection of both through the coming winter. Thanks.

Hi both are hardy so no worries.

Sorry SBG - wasn't sure you'd see it.

Fireglow is one of the varieties recommended for colder climates.The delphniums should be OK as long as the soil in the boxes doesn't freeze solid. Might be a good idea to move them into the flower bed? They are a hardy plant.
(When you ask a new question its best to start again with it - you are more likely to attract more replies if the subject matter can be seen easily.)
