Please could you have a look at my post in the PLANTS section @Jatnikapyar

Thankyou

I am wanting to make a little patch of ground at the side of our estate easy on the eye and wandered if any of you had any spare bulbs or seeds you would like to donate. Anything is appreciated to make this look nice - lot of old folk around and it would be nice for them to look out the window and see some nice flowers/foliage throughout the year. I have sorted my shed out and managed to find some spare seeds and have posters up in the local corner shop too asking for any donations.....would be great if you could help. Please contact me @ lucyhirst1@hotmail.co.uk if you are able to help.....thank you so much xx

Plants for garden wall needed

Hi figrat, sorry for the delay, yes it is a dry stone wall with lots of litttle cracks and crevices. We normally have seen toads in there at times getting out of the sun.
Anything you can reccommend that will thrive here would be great - thankyou

Thankyou penninepetal i'll certainly have a look at these

Plants for garden wall needed

I have an old stone garden wall that when we moved in had lots of flowers growing in and over it - it looked lovely. These have all but disappeared over the years and wondered if there was anything I could replace them with, hopefully evergreen so there was something there year round but thats not essential. the wall is only 2-3 foot in height and is about 6 foot long and is on both sides of the garden driveway. Thank you

Thankyou so much for all this advice - have cut it off now and will await the other buds opening. This time I will leave them alone -

I bought the above plant in the spring from T&M and it's now in a large pot on my decking and climbing up the pergola.

One of the large flowers started to open yesterday but it is now closing and feels very floppy?? I have handled and 'admired' it a lot as its my first success - new gardener that I am - and wandered if this was why. Or are there other reasons the flower is dying?

There are lots of new buds on the plant and the plant is very healthy otherwise so is it I that has been the problem in this case, even tho I was very gentle with it??

Thank you
