I have grown P. vialli, and I never seem to be able to keep them for long. 2 years ago I raised a couple of dozen from seed, and planted them in 3 inch pots and overwintered in polytunnel. Planted out Spring 2013 in various positions. They did best in dappled shade.In full sun they flowered well, but when we had the hot weather, they wilted a lot. They haven't emerged yet this year. I hope I haven't lost them all.
Hello philippa, this is definetely the right thread, use it day or night for pretty much anything, unless of course you want to start your own thread on a particular subject.
I grow P. vialli in my bog garden and they do appear to be rather short lived.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
fidge- it'll have no room for suitcases, but it'll have a small fridge for the cream buns, a small oven for keeping pasties warm, and a large doughnut holder.
Am I right Verd? Am I? Am I?
Put me down for some cake pd
Rain came on late here. Chilli for dinner. Need it to warm me up
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I like you best of all too Verdun, and normally you could have any cream bun of your choice... but... you were your very cheeky self earlier as Nuderv, mmmmm, naughty step I think for you hehe, usually Kef sends me
Hello folks, I'm back from my visit to daughter and son in law. The wet weather is causing all sorts of problems - they live near a river and the rats have been flooded out of their usual haunts and have invaded the gardens in their road. The rat man has been to attend to them, but I saw a huge one in the garden when I was there. Everyone has stopped feeding the birds, but the rats are in the sewage system and tunnelling their way out of the sewers and up into the lawns
Hi Phillipa,
My most successful P. vialii were grown in a new North-east facing garden, formerly arable land on High Suffolk clay with lots of added organic matter. They grew well and were divided and replanted every year and were gorgeous.
We moved and I've never been able to repeat the success.

Ooh, what is it Verdun. Does it have a donut or pasty holder?
Well done Verdun, we know you like a haggle
Glad rain has stopped, we have stayed dry so far today.
