Heucheras

Hello, I bought 3 heucheras from you earlier this year. They are doing extremely well, to say the least. They are in pots and I feed them once a week with a general garden feed. Could you please let me know, is it alright to leave them in pots over the winter and should I really be giving them ‘a special feed’. So pleased with them, don’t want to lose them and look forward to buying more. Helen

Hi Helen
That’s great news 🙂
You can leave them in the pots over winter no problem.
The feed we recommend is liquid seaweed.
Also treat the pots with nematodes at the end of this month for vine weevil control.
Bought at garden centres and online and you water them in.
Hope this helps
Happy gardening
Vicky

RHS Hyde Hall Flower Show 2018

Posted on by

RHS Hyde Hall just seems to grow bigger ever year! It’s much bigger than it used to be, more to see, more to do, and of course more plants to buy! With the heatwave we’ve been having we had fantastic blue skies and heat the whole show.

Lucky for us Heuchera, Heucherella and Tiarella are drought tolerant plants, they are hardy evergreens and do ok with little water. A little water goes a long way with them and they can withstand dry periods.

We brought along some fabulous Kniphofia as well, “Pineapple popsicle” a vibrant yellow, and “Redhot popsicle” with cinnamon red flowers.

RHS Tatton 2018

We were so busy around RHS Tatton we realised we didn’t even get that many photos! We took this small video of all our show plants getting ready to be planted though. We were pleased to take home a gold for our display as well. All the traffic problems and stress were worth it! It was a great show as always and we can’t wait for next years.

Hi I have bought some plain green leaved heucheras. They are small, healthy and growing but no sign of flowers on any. They have been in the garden over a month. Do you know why they show no sign of flowering please?

Hi Pam
You didn’t say if they were from us ?
If you only just planted them they might take time to establish some are early flowering, some flower all the time, other flower later
Don’t worry give them time
I’m sure they will flower by next year if not sooner
Kind regards
