I dont know much about moving plants.

But I do know that is a cracking Acer [I think] you have there Sanbaz.

I think it looks perfect San...I agree with Container, Cracking acer....

It does look good but there is always some moving about to do. If you wait until the autumn the plants will enjoy the cooler, moist weather to settle in before winter.

Marguerite Daisies aren't likely to survive the winter anyway, so that's one problem solved. ; )

thankyou bamboo for you advice :o)
cheers container glad you like the acer, iv had it about 7 years i think first in apot and in the ground last two years, doing well ;o)
cheers Dee it does look ok in the pic but if you were here you would see what i mean, some plants are hidden amongst others or to far back :o)

From what I can see of the leaves, that's more likely to be Leucanthemum x superbum 'Elizabeth' rather than Marguerite.

thankyou bamboo, cant find the tag but the name rings bells, and you know more about plants than me :o)

just looked it up bamboo and then found this which looks more like mine, well exactly Leucanthemum sub. 'Edgebrook Giant', the centre of the elizabeth wasnt like mine, thanx for help

Well, just so long as its Leucanthemum of some kind - that explains why its not died during winter.

it grows so fast bamboo and got hit hard by heavy rain last month which left a gapping hole in the middle, but needs plitting really and moving back,

You can do that in September/October too. That's a rather nice plant actually, I might look out for that myself, I prefer it to the Leucanthemum I've currently got.

with all the rain the flowers are getting soggy so wont last quite as long this year bamboo, but its a lovely one and glad i have it, i will split it soon then, pm me if you want some, i will gladly send you a piece :o)

6 Aug, 2011

 

Thanks for the offer, I might just do that - though quite how you'd get it to me through the post I'm not sure, lol!
