Why is a magnolia too delicate for your garden Willow - where abouts do you live? I must admit that I'm very pleased with it this year, despite the first flowers getting a bit frosted  |

If you do it by layering you might have better success Alicat! Thanks Plocket - I had forgotten to bookmark this thread  so missed your message. |

Thanks SL - I love them too and have sown loads in the garden this year. The packet says that they will come up this year, so I hope they do. ;D I've also got loads in the front - must be over a 100 - no idea what they are but I can't wait for them to flower.

Try oriental poppies - papiver orientalis. Huge heads on them and they come back eack year as a bigger plant. Normally bought as a plant for around a fiver. |

We have had these lovely white flowers every Aug, sine we moved here, I think they smell like jasmine, but not too sure, there don't seem to be as many as we used to get either.   |

Do they smell most sweetly in the evening Emsey? they could be Phlox, as there is a sweet scent.

It's a bit late now, but you say they don't flower so much now. I was wondering if they need splitting  As some flowers like to be split to help them restart. - Only a thought, and I'm sure some one will correct me if I am wrong. A.x |

I.m not sure ali as they are in 3 places in the garden but each patch has dwindeled in size to just a few large stems each, maybe they need a feed of some kind?  Be in your neck of the woods tomorrow as we are going to the safari park |

They look like phlox to me em I have pink and you can split them, I have dug a couple of clumps out but they keep coming back  they are lovely but they can look as if they are taking over the garden and the rain spoils them. |

I just have a few odd sprigs here and there, they'd look better in a bigger clump, may put them all togher.
