So the lockdown and the good weather continues. Luckily I have plenty to go at in the garden.
My six this week are:
 |
| Brightly coloured Polyanthus |
 |
| Astilbe. Healthy enough foliage but didn’t manage one plume last year. Any suggestions? |
While tidying and weeding I unearthed (literally) these three:
 |
| Ophiopogon (black
grass) and silver Aretmesia which is easy to take cuttings from |
 |
| Heuchera,
maybe Lime Marmalade |
 |
| Miniature tulips |

Stay well everyone.

I don't know a lot about Astilbe, but wondering if it maybe needs some feedling? Your grass and Artemisia look good together, and the little tulips are lovely.
ReplyDeleteThe Astilbe probably does need a good feed.
DeleteThe astilbes need a little shade, and lots of water...it looks healthy now, so I think with a little watering, you will have some blooms later.
ReplyDeleteI'll take your advice and keep the Astilbe well watered. There's been no rain for ages - not that I'm complaining.
DeleteI hope you solve your astilbe problem, as they're well worth it. Once they get going, they take care of themselves, too. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteAdvice received on the Astilbe is feed and water, so I hope to report improvement later in the year.
