    It'll have to take it's chances!  It's in a fairly sheltered spot beside the front door so we'll see.  TBH I didn't expect it to survive a winter anyway (it was an impulse buy from one of the cheap shops last summer) so whatever it does is a bonus.  If it does survive it'll need a bigger pot or (more likely) a place in the ground.

  • Two of my Achillea were flowering in December into Feb but the last sharp frosts wilted the very spindly growth. My oriental poppy has put on lots of green growth and looks ridiculously healthy....but it can't last....can it? I'm in Derbyshire
