HOYA - WAX FLOWER

Pam - your plant is really splendid, I'm definitely getting one! How long will I have to wait to see the same result??

Thank you!

HOYA - WAX FLOWER

Thank you digging doris and kate 1123 for your replies.   Hoya is off!   I shall take a look at 'Freckles and also trachelospermum jasminoides as suggested by a neighbour; maybe also one or possibly two climbing roses??  I'm hoping to plant herbs and lavender around the base of the pergola which has a seating area - so visions of  warm evenings surrounded by wonderful scents!   Nice to dream......

Thank you once again.

HOYA - WAX FLOWER

I have a new pergola and one of the climbers I would like is a hoya to provide both scent and year round foliage - in view of severity of the last couple of winters, is this a good idea?

Your suggestions for alternative evergreen climbers would be appreciated.

Many thanks.

MAGNOLIA GRANDIFLORA

Palaisglide - thank you for your reponse.  I didn't use a spray just applied the liquid feed direct to the soil; I will use a mulch as you recommend and wait and see...... I'm a relatively 'new' gardener and have learned I'm also a very impatient one! 

Thanks again.

MAGNOLIA GRANDIFLORA

The leaves on my magnolia have become yellowish brown, so 2 weeks ago I used Sequestrene to feed it (two sachets in 4.5 litres of water as directed). Pack directions say one application lasts all season but can I feed again, indeed should I feed regularly until I see some improvement?  What more can I do to help things?  Not sure how old the magnolia is but it's now about 12 feet high.

Thank you!

SKIMMIA

Alina W - thank you for your reply - I shall have to be patient and wait until Autumn.  You've come to my rescue yet again - the last time was on the 'old site' when I had a query about pyracantha - I followed your advice re. feeding and pruning and the plants are much improved, thank you.

SKIMMIA

I have two Skimmia Reevesiana covered in berries and with no sign yet of flowers - I'd like to move them to a shadier spot.  When is the best time to do this?

Look forward to your advice, many thanks.

LAVENDER

Gold1locks - thank you.  I shall take a look at Imperial Gem - ideal height would be 12".  You've responded to another post about lavender so I think all my questions have been covered.   The advice given for spacing of plants indicates I shall need many more plants than originally planned - spaced at 12" apart?

Thanks again

LAVENDER

I'd like to edge a raised bed with lavender.  Can anyone recommend a compact/dwarf hardy variety.   And.... as it's a raised bed do I need to put grit at the base of each planting?

I look foward to your advice

Many thanks
