Gardening: Hints and Help!

Indeed TTDA, The Peonies are well though also, along with the red leaves on the Acers' .

I bought 2 things last year that was delivered at around Christmas-a Tree Peony & a hard to track down Clematis👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Apologies I was called away. Paeonia suffruticosa & Clamatis Koreana amber. They both look beaut according to the info tag that arrived with them. Roll on Summer👍🏻

Paeonies don’t seem particularly fond of our soil, I have two, inherited from MIL’s garden, but wouldn’t call them prolific doers. Might be because transplanted them, but it has been a couple of decades🤨

I feel the urge for a new Clematis, so will look that one up Rocky👍

Edit.....gorgeous Rocky, and repeat flowers.👏👏 Do you know about this place

worth a trip for you, a lovely very successful specialist nursery. They used to take a big stand at our town show back when it had huge floral marquees, and do Chelsea regular. 👍

I got mine from Burncoose nurseries(tinny land), I’m happy with Taylor’s & have used them before but they had none🤷🏻‍♂️. Burncoose delivered good healthy well packaged kit too. I tried to put pics up but the stupid site rejected em even with the two pics at less than 300kb’s😤😤.

Ah, yes, down near Redruth. They have a good reputation and are well known and also exhibit at Chelsea. 

Burncoose are very good,  we've bought from them a number of times including one lovely yellow buddleia which didn't look as though it was going to take when we brought it home but is now thriving and covering up a not very pleasant stretch of fencing.

Interesting gardens to look round too, in addition to the nursery. 

We nearly always visit Burncoose, OH complains that they're a bit pricey but they are a very good supplier and I've bought on line from them, I've seen them at Chelsea. (We use the Redruth back route to Falmouth to avoid Truro traffic jams.)

I've just bought a clematis from Taylors...stocks seem to be low, I think many have been buying on line this year so I couldn't get my first choice (or second and third!!) 

Boo hoo, this is the second year we've missed out on a spring visit to our favourite Cornish gardens and their spactacular Camellias and Magnollias!!

But we should see a few at Abbotsbury gardens in Dorset next week. Many of the big gardens are opening once more tomorrow. 🌸🏵🌸🏵

And us as well Brue😢 We know Burncoose as well, love lots of the Cornish Nurseries. Good one in the Lizard for Exotics. We used to bring back at least a dozen plants, including some big ones, every Summer. I might treat myself to a Banana Plant this year. I lost all mine in 2010 in the prolonged freeze up here.
