Might well do that - I have two creamy yellow Pansies left over! Hahaha!! Wait and see whatI can do with my shoe horn!

Green fingers?? A genius gardener?? Talking nicely to them?? I have NO idea, Hywel! lol.

I hope it flowers some more, Clarice. I like to see them around.

:-)

Oh dear, Sid - the poor folk who write the plant labels can't win with you, can they?? lol.

LOL!!!

Oh dear - sorry! It's clouded over now - rain on the way, I fear. Such a pain, as I was hoping to get outside this afternoon. I was in church when it was sunny!

Thanks, Sbg!

:-)

Heehee - I'm not, so why should you be? LOL. (sorry - not meant to be rude!)

Just as well, Donna! Those two.........playing teacher up like that! I'll get my detention book ready for next time. LOL.

They were bought in pots and planted in the soil carefully, as I would do with any rose. I'll keep an eye on them, now! Should I prune them a little - or hard?

Yes, it is - especially in the sun! Thanks. Louise and I saw several other Parthenocissus we'd never heard of at the GC yesterday! I'd love them all - but no room, no room!! :-(

I've done it, so if they take, I'll get back to you for your address. Good system, this reminder thing!

Well, Hywel - on our travels round Open Gardens this year, I saw several very sorry looking acid-lovers - Pieris being one! I think if the soil is alkaline, they'll suffer and possibly even die. So maybe it's just giving them the best chance??

LOL. I shall have a line of pots, won't I! I'll try, Pip. I have another plant in another bed, so it may well be OK. I think I'd better add a reminder to the plant on my page.

Thanks, Sue! He's lying in the sun again....what a life! Ahhhhhh!!!

Yes, of course - always supposing I can pot some up! :-)

Well, Pieris like sun or part shade, and Leucothoe prefer part shade - so you could. You'd need a BIG container, though, and ericaeous compost for the Pieris in particular. Why not? :-))

Yes, basically, Tt. It's not like the Jap. Anemones with their deep roots.
