    Is it too late to prune your roses now? I think I’ve always made the mistake of not pruning them hard enough so the flowers are always a bit too high up to appreciate.

    @edhelka Lovely pics. What do you make of the Digiplex range? Are you enjoying them - are they long flowering for you?
    @pitter-patter   said:  I almost bought a digiplexis today, but I’m not sure I want to invest in something that will not survive the winter.

    @edhelka I ordered two 3l plants - Illumination Flame and Berry Canary, one of each.

    @Marlorena  just to say, Digitalis Illumination 'Raspberry Improved' did not survive a winter here in East Anglia... and I mulched it too... so, I haven't tried it again since..  I would question that -10C hardiness.


    Scouting around just now it seems that of the four I bought last year, two look like they have carked and two are fine. We haven't had anything below about -3oC. So, no, not impressed. Foxgloves are supposed to be rock hard.... Or so they say. Not these cultivars. I haven't lost anything else in mulched pots.

    @Ilikeplants - not too late, best to do asap now. Best to prune even if it were a bit late.

    I’ve just ordered some digitalis ‘Goldcrest’ which are supposed to be hardy to -15, except in exposed, windy conditions and fine for partial shade. I wasn’t confident the digiplexis type would survive my winters. Orangey yellow with pink is usually a no-no in my garden but since I have a Mutabilis in that North border, rules have already been broken!

  • Thank you, wonderful Marlorena! MOSS has worked, might get a Tess of the D or PA of K while I'm at it. <3
