My carnations didn't flower at all. The buds died before they opened. I had some in the shade and some of them in the sun and had no sucess with either. Any ideas what went wrong?Also my miniature rose trees had no leaves on them at all and had a few flowers for a very short time but didn't do well. Any ideas about these either?
I want to move penstemon, catmint & cistus, to a different space in the same bed. When is the best time to do this, also is it possible to grow any of these plants from cuttings?
I lost all my agapanthus plants last winter so this year I will move the pots indoors if we get a lot of frost. I think they will need very little watering indoors - am I right?
what is the name of the sweet pea that comes back year after year?
I have a woodland area in the garden (about 25 metres long by 4 metres wide) which is under deciduous trees with very little light getting in during Summer.I want to have a Pathway and on edges some colour Will Grass grow under the trees (as the pathway) and what would you recommend for planting at each side of the pathway . There was a lot of Ivy there which I have killed with roundup so its pretty bare now under the trees.
I need advice of how to get rid of a chinese type bamboo(reed) that is spreading through the garden from two clumps. The bed is covered with a membrane with pebbles on top of the membrane. the runners are under the membrane with the shoots coming through, that makes it impossible to pull out by hand.
My Dierrama which is about 5 years old, was flowering very well until last year, when it had fewer flowers than usual. This year there were a lot of dead leaves , most of which I pulled. It now looks rather scrawny, and one third its former size. It is planted in clay soil, facing south west, and this area gets very dry in summer. Would extra watering and feeding improve the plant, or should I buy a new one? I hope you can advise me.
we have three whiskey barrell pots and need recommendations for what to put in them that will survive all year round and winter. each one will be left in front of a pillar beside 12 foot wide entrance gates.
In Sep 2008,i planted a paeonia mlokosewitschii and also a trillium grandiflorum. In spring 2009,the trillium flowered and the paeonia made some growth but this year there wasnt sight nor trace of either of them. Im wondering are they taking a rest and will they reappear next year. I know that may be likely for the trillium but i dont know would the same apply to the paeonia even though i know they can be very slow.
Can i divide the angel fishing rod plant and how?
I recently bought a plant in a local garden centre and im not sure what the plant is. The gardener said it was a black lily but ive looked it up on the internet and it doesn't look like one. I would like to know what the plant is and how to look after it.Thanks AOL93
When is best time to move and divide a large hosta?
Which flowers should and should not be dead headed?
We have two triangular shaped flower beds (approx 6 msq) as part of a new house build which are located in crevices between the house and footpath. That side of house is north facing. As a soil depth of more than 8 inches won't be possible (due to house foundation, etc), can you suggest suitable planting within this bed with shallow roots - ideally something low maintenance, perennial, purple/blue blooms and if any evergreen foliage possible?
