Biannual's

Posted: 18/06/2012 at 18:49

Hello, I'm hoping to sow some Biannual's but I don't know what to expect. What I want to know is, after they germinate, do they just stay like a juvenile plant over winter or do they die back and go back under ground and then shoot up next year? Any light you can shed is appreciated. I'm hoping to sow some lupin. Thanks in advance.

What do you think of this combination?

Thank you, do much, for all your suggestions. I've written them all down and will look them all up.

Sorry should say spring bulbs, not sting bulbs, but that's the auto correct for ya!

Thank you seaside oldie...I had written down Canterbury Bells, so might include them and the delphiniums.

Thank you kate1123... Kind of forgot about some sting bulbs and not heard of mahonia. I'll check it out.

Hello, I'm planning on what to plant for next year. The area is around my vegetable plot. It's a raised board, south facing, but gets some shade as its surrounded by other gardens. I want to attract bees and butterflies and have a cottage feel. I'm going for whites, pale blues and pale pinks, with maybe a stunning dark red/ purple or black plant for contrast and impact. How does the following combination sound? Alliums Aquilegia Verbena Bonariensis Lupins Buddleia A Japanese Maple Feel free to make any suggestion or comments, I'm sure there are loads of plants I haven't even considered due to my limited knowledge of plants. Thanks in advance, Tina

It came up last year and again this year.

The flowers are pink on upright stems, flower are like little bells, leaves look shamrock shaped .

Any ideas?

When do you buy your seeds?

Figrat, how do you organise your collection in a calendar sequence? Do you have a special box or divider system.

Thank you, I do keep my seeds in an air tight box in the garage. I hadn't thought about putting them in the fridge.

Paper clips are a good idea too!
