    Hi,  Is there anyone who knows where I can purchase a RIBES SANGUINEUM 'ALBESCENS'. Cannot seem to find a nursery anywhere tht has one.  Has anyone tried to grow one?

    Thanks.

    Plantfinder finds everything BEL. It sounds like a white one. If you can't get one of those try 'White Icicle', I love that one.

    Thank you very much nutcutlet,  it is white with a touch of rose pink bit like the colour of apple blossom.   I will check Plantfinder again otherwise will indeed get a White Icicle.

    Can anyone identify this plant for me? It was discovered in an old tub. The leaves are dark green and purple mottled, the stems furry with the yellow flowers reaching about a foot above the pot. Thanks.

    (Ignore the Feverfew in the background trying to get in on the act.)

    Always worth starting a new thread if you want a plant ID.

    'Hi everyone, I have a new garden I am slowly filling up and wonder if anyone can think of medium size shrubs to plant facing North East or East in clay soil!!  HELP

    Incidentally Nutcutlet I found a Ribes but did get 'Icicle' in the end as I could not find an 'Albescens'.  Looks just a pretty. Thank you.

    Hi, everything I have read suggests that Coleus is an easy grow from seed. I am having zero luck in getting them past first germination stage. I suspect I drowned the first batch but the latest are just sitting there doing nowt! Any advice please?

  • What is this plant please? The leaves are almost blue and look rather waxy.

    Spotted last weekend in a secret paradise in West Kent.
