Default I have plants that are dying and I don't know why. Can anyone help?

And that was going to be my next question. If anyone can tell me what
kind of plants I have in my garden, please feel do as there are many I
have no idea about!!!


41 Santolina, or just possibly a very well maintained lavender. Can't
see the detail of the leaves - if they have wobbly edges they're
santolina.

43 - Sedum spectabile, good for dried flower heads providing colour into
the autumn. The species is attractive to butterflies, but some of the
varieties less so.

44 Dahlia
45 Something in the mallow family
46 Euphorbia cyparissias - looks good for a large part of the year with
the feathery leaves, and yellow bracts around the flowers stay for a
long time. Creeps by underground shoots so covers ground well - pull it
out where you don't want it.
47 Mallow - possibly musk mallow which has pink or sometimes white
flowers over a long season. Seeds itself round quite well
50 Hebe?
51 Something in the pea family - worth keeping to see what the flowers
are like
13 Euphorbia, possibly the E cyparissias again.

I know the ones I bought, and some my mum has
planted, but the ones that were there already, I have no idea of.
Plus, mum tends to come visit with a box full of stuff and just tells
me to plant it!

I tried doing a google search - and found this place!!


What you may not realise is that you haven't found this place at all ;-)
This place is uk-rec.gardening - a newsgroup - what you've found is a
website which allows you a peek into what's happening here.
