  • Hi verdun, not that i've noticed are they prone to that problem? I only put it in last year, i was not keen on it last year but its done really well this year. I will keep my eye on it.

    Very nice Monarda Zombie- and love the Fatsia- one of my favourites.

    Verd- is it because of your drier climate you would be wary of Monardas? Us northern 'foreigners' don't (normally) have to worry about lack of rain.... image

    Looking at the leaves that blue one could be a double flowered campanula.

    Love the monarda ZG. I've got one that's mildew resistant, (said to be and is so far). Can't remember thefull name but cambridge comes into it. Not Cambridge Scarlet though, a longer name than that, but it is red. I'll find the label tomorrow and see

    I'd agree they look like Bowles G.Grass and M. Zebrinus Verd, and I'd agree with nut that the blue one looks like a Campanula - foliage is right anyway.

    Lovely pix. image

    A friend gave me that little double campanula years ago. It lives outside all year round but the last couple of years it's gone downhill, probably should have given it some TLC or food or divided it.

    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
  • Hello not sure what variety my monarda is, but reading nutcutlet's post reminded me I too have a bad of label's in the shed i will have a rummage through tomorrow and see if i can find it.

    Fairygirl the fatsia is turning into a guilty pleasure of mine, even though it offer's nothing for the pollinating insects  it seem's to be doing well in my shady spot, I have seen the squirral coming and going hiding his nuts under it. I also think that squirral had it away on his toe's with some of my bulbs.
