No get them in em they dont mind the cold at all in fact I cut some one year and put them in a vase they died in the warm so I guess they thrive the colder it is! there was no sign of these untill the snow came and when it melted they shot up mine are on a North facing bed they dont get much sun at all they are in the shade of the bungalow. |

I bought a clematis but I want it to grow a bit so Ive potted it up and waiting a bit. I wish I'd done that, I bought a clem and a mock orange blossom, cheap from morrisons last summer, they've both gone. I spotted some thing that looks like a clem (but not where I put the clem) when I was doing the roses today :  |

I know I put one straight in to grow with the passion flower!! its dissapeared! unless you pay for a one thats well established (I got both of these for less than a couple of pounds! its best to let them thicken up a bit. I dug a mock orange out as it was taking up too much space it had a spread of about 5 foot.  |

Post by petal on Mar 3, 2009 20:25:01 GMT 1

Well as I am the Referee--I will call that a Draw-- ;D Here is a Close up of my Hellebore today-  The 'mist' in the photograph is smoke--I was smoking a cigarette when I took the photograph -so it just shows "your sins will find you out ;D" |

OK - I'm probably wrong though as there are so many. - i hope the seedlings are more Hellibors.

Thanks Petal, all this reading is paying off at long last. How are the seedlings doing ? Are they Hellibors ? |
