Hi, Can anyone tell me what the plant is that's shown in the latest Newsletter under the heading "Looking for Planting Idea's" View our plant profiles.
I love the vibrant colours, the pink petals and the black centre berries. I'd love to grown what ever it is. Thanks, Cyndy
gardeninggenes. My plant has more fingers on it's leaves - at least nine. The flower heads are the same though, it's started to produce flower heads which usually bloom end of November, beginning of December. It's hardy and doesn't need fleecing.
I thought it was a Fatsia Japonica but don't they flower in October and are only half hardy, not liking temps below 0, here in the NW this plant has gone through several Winters when we've had snow. I just knock the snow off the leaves and it comes up smiling in the spring. It does well in full sun too. It does get yellowing leaves usually in the spring when producing new leaves but there are some now when it's flowering.
Could someone advise what is the best time of year to divide an Aspidistra elatior. The one I have hasn't been repotted for about 6 years, it has about 20 leaves and I would like to divide it into 3 plants. - Thank you
I've always found it best to divide most houseplants in the early spring, taking advantage of the beginning of the new growing season so they can grow away and put on plenty of new growth.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Why does my indoor plant chinese jasmine only flower if I put it outside in the summer?
If it is left by the sunny window it doesn't flower, yet outside it does - also is it too fragile to be left out in winter as mine is getting big, and seems to dry out quickly.
I have repotted it and it looks green and lively at the moment.

That's Clerodendron trichotomum
In the sticks near Peterborough
seeds and calyces rather than flowers

Zoomer44: I think your mystery plant may be one which used to be called Fatshedera Lizei which is a cross between ivy (hedera) and Fatsia Japonica.
