Astilbes or astrantias, primulas,, arum lilies, acorus, and a lovely grass called hackanochloa would grow there I think. Tina. Some ferns do like lot of moisture.

Tina, you seem to have right idea. Sounds like a fern will suit there?

Tina, it sounds like a promising project. What plants would you like there? Wait a while longer and your heavy soil will be easier to work. How bg is it? You can still plan it, still imagine it and still get ideas. I have a feeling you will achieve something quite impressive there. Clay soil can be the best if you choose plants suitable for it. When you look out from your French windows imagine what it can and will be. And, longer evenings from this weekend

Busy lizzie, yes I was Christopher.
I didn't really cause an upset ...it seems the troll causing trouble recently did the same to me last year. He used a similar name to mine and I had to change my name, which proved not too easy to do. It was upsetting, frustrating and difficult. Recently it hapened to someone on this forum and i think i have been able to support him. I had great support from people on this forum who understood what had happened. Then I had no idea what these trolls did, now I'm wiser.
Anyway, busy lizzie, nice to know you

Yep Tina better days are on their way. What would be your ideal job then? Even in "sunny" Cornwall this winter weather is a bit depressing.
Spent afternoon volunteering at local food bank....people really are suffering at moment...
Gardening grandma, is that what fat club is about, eating chocs? Paradoxically, I pigged out on choc Easter eggs at food bank. Someone dropped them in for the "workers" and I had to eat my share...it would look rude not to!

Alstroemeria (Peruvian Lily)

Posted: 26/03/2013 at 18:53

Rosa they can be slow from bare roots. I grew the so-called Princess lilies .just 3 varieties but they were wonderful in flower. Trouble is they become somewhat dormant in mid summer leaving a big gap in he border. To overcome this I dug them up to replant behind perennials that disguise this gap. Alstroemerias do spread so best where they can't "bully" their neighbours. The varieties I grew didnt seed .i grew hybrids...but still a bit thuggish
