Allotments 4 All

This dark, north-east facing corner of my garden needed something to lift it.  After a couple of years of experimenting I think it's getting there.  It's crammed full as you can see.   ;D  G x

Just great!

Georgie you're a magician. Lovely! What's the red stuff?


ETA: Lychnis! Just read your other post.

I've got a north facing garden with big trees all around so always looking for pretty shade lovers. Is this easy to grow? (flowers hate me)

Thanks Tim.   :)

Hi Pye.  Yes it is Lychnis Arkwrightii Vesuvius: bit of a mouthful but a real find.   ;D  It's more of a shocking orange than red really but it can look red in certain lights.  I bought the plants last year and they seem easy enough.  They can be a bit floppy so I support them wiv a few twiggy sticks.  They set seed so I'd be happy to send you some to try if you like?

Lovely Georgie  ;D

Shocking orange = even better!

Thanks Georgie, that would be great.  :)

Thanks Trixie.   :)

Right oh, Pye.  PM your details and I'll pop some seeds in the post when they are ready, which will probably be in a couple of months.

Wow - its no longer a dark corner, its a riot of colour!

Getting there Georgie? Looks fabulous.  ;D

Thanks.   ;)  Well the thing is Emmy that I want to squeeze in some Silene 'Jack Flash'.  I've got three plants I've grown from seed this year but they are taking an age to develop.  At this rate I don't think they will flower this year.   :(
