I like the acers too, but unfortunately I cant grow them here. maybe one day with climate change

my new little acer is currently in the conservatory ~ in case of frost!
could you keep them indoors?
maybe bonsai?

I already have too many plants indoors, not too keen on bonzai trees. my porch is full of fig trees

I think echinaceas go nice with grasses too!

yes they would ~ you are right ~ do they need much sun?

6 Jun, 2011

 

I think full sun is recommended, i have a couple on my west facing border which is shady in the morning.

lots of shade here ~ the house is nearly surrounded by very tall trees which dont belong to us ~ the south side is where we join onto the other house!!! ~ which is a bit of a shame.
