Verdun I have foxtail lilies in a dry bed that gets some sun, it took them about 4 years to decide to put on a show, I'd almost forgotten what they were.
No sign of my delphiniums or hollyhocks and I have put some pellets just under the surface, I'm not sure when they should start to show here in S.Yorks..ideas anyone?
I have a peonies that were dug up and after MIL died nearly 20 yrs ago I planted them in the garden, they got dug up 15 yrs ago came with us to this this garden and lived for a year in buckets and now thrive in the garden, one was split and given to SIL and hers thrives.
Hi can anyone give me advice on bascets please I make bout 15 looks beautiful for while then the hot sun dries compost out plants look horrible I do use water crystals?
Kim - hanging baskets are exposed to more sun and wind than plants in the ground that may be shaded or sheltered by others and have reserves of water in the soil. You have to water them every single dayand it also helps to give them a liquid feed once a week to keep them flowering.
On very hot days, you'll need to water them morning and evening to get them through the day and let them recover at night.

My hollyhocks don't fully die back in winter, they are pretty old plants though I think.
My Delphs are all coming up in pots in the greenhouse. No sign of my only lupin, think it was planted out too small really.

Hi Kim scott3, can I suggest that you start a new thread for your new question? You will probably get more replies that way.
