star gaze lily I have cuttings of my Sambucus Black Beauty that I took last year (was my first ever attempt at a cutting) and all 3 bits have survived
If you would like i would happily post 2 of them down to you? (I'm new to this so unsure of the difference between black lace and black beauty) As I wasn't expecting all to survive, so don't have anywhere to put any (Just took a cutting as was having to cut one of the branches anyways so thought id give it a go on a cutting)
Or if anyone else would like them. Wouldn't like them to go to waste really. I will be repotting them into their own pots when weather improves
I'm just wishing to move house to have a bigger garden to have more space to do things! but atm on my list of to gets is:
-polka rapberry cane
-valentina rasp cane
- Loch Ness blackberry cane
-Karaka Black blackberry cane
- White dead nettles
-Foxgloves (wild variety and white variety)
- Lobelia
-Ferns
- St Johns Wort
- and practically every flower i see in any shop/other garden!
Shorter drier winters and one bed with acidic soil so I could grow pieris and azaleas but other than that I no longer hanker after prima donnas, just good doers that cope with fertile alkaline soil but hard winters.

Would really love to get some perennial statice to go with all the sweet peas I grow. Tried countless times with statice tartarica and statice latifolia but it never germinates. (Perhaps the seed has to be really fresh to germinate). Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
A foxglove tree, pawlonia and a persian ironwood tree, think its also known as parrotia. I got some foxglove tree seeds so will try to get it to germinate.
Hi Lucy, think one of the differences is the leaves and possibly the colour. How very kind of you. If you are moving to a bigger garden don't you need them too
Na i won't be moving for a good while sadly lol! I'll keep ahold of one atm but the other two are no use to me, I know the one i have has tiny pink flowers on it in a biggish bunch all over, which i love as contrasts really well against its leaves (the leaves on mine i can see are wider than the black lace). N' if i do move i can take another cutting (now that i know how lol). I will still have one of the cuttings anyways.

Did you cut it back at all Hosta, or are you letting it grow tall?

Love anything that's frothy and airy!
