Wee perennials
« on: October 20, 2015, 10:10:43 »
I don`t usually grow flowers so I`m a bit ignorant as to how to manage them but - I bought a load of perennial flower plug plants in August and potted them on dutifully. They`re now nice little plants so I haven`t killed them. They`re things like sweet William, foxgloves, papava, hollyhocks. Now, I don`t know what to do with them. Do I stick them in the garden or protect them until the spring?
I know. How dim can you get?

To save me a lot of typing I think you will find instructions for all of those you have mentioned here in my website:

For speed and simplicity  use the alphabetical index at foot of page.

Thank you so much! I`ll get some beds ready and put them in to take their chances.  :wave:
