I've been busy already today (just enjoying some toast with jam and cheese - try it, lovely) . I took some cuttings early this morning (the best time). These are:
- everlasting wallflowers (our site is so windy, especially in winter, I've decided to grow new each year from cuttings, otherwise they look rather woody)
- Physocarpus opilifolius Diabolo - a big, beefy purple-leaved shrub with pretty pink flowers in summer. This is for my brother, he's got an empty garden at the mo and needs a bit of structure.
- Rosemary - Mrs Jessop's Upright
- a pretty shrub that I can't find the label for - has variegated leaves and lilac spokes of flowers at the end of summer
- penstemon 'Stapleford Gem'
thats gross on toast i think. nice healthy looking cuttings though. do u cover them with plastic? i just keep mine in shady place and mist . have had good success even with some acers.
ReplyDeleteI've just left these out in the front garden (no plastic) - it's quite sheltered round there although I have been a bit fearful with the colder nights we've had lately. They seem okay though. I did put some of the bigger penstemon cuttings in the cold frame - squeezed them in.
