Beautiful colour

8 Oct, 2012

 

Aren't they wonderful? I saw them in the GC today but I was really good and resisted. I've tried twice in the past and they just died on me, so I'm not bothering again. However, I might be tempted to have one last shot at Hamamellis this year.....eeek!

Thanks Val , shame about your shrub Karen good luck if you buy the Hamamelis I have a new one this year called 'Sandra ' I keep looking to see if it's doing anything ,it's leaves should turn orange /red in the autumn ,I'm still waiting !
Mine could do with a good hard prune Kathy but I always feel to scared to take to much off in case it doesn't like it ........

If I ever feel brave enough to take a lot off I'll let you know the results Kathy ! No Carole the birds leave then alone they obviously don't like them , they have already started gobbling up the Cotoneaster berries .........

Gorgeous colour - never tried these Amy. What is it called & do they want any special sort of soil?

No, they are absolute survivors. They do not require any special condition, but they do prefer shadow under trees most of all. Am I right Amy?
