No seedlings, and it's been 6 weeks now. Any ideas? Andy. Please does anyone know of any garden centre where I can buy Rosebay/Fireweed seeds from? I live in Manchester and I would love to grow some in my garden, I have only seen it on railway embankments and it's far too dangerous to go near there. Any help would be very much appreciated. Edric Lovely stuff on railway embankments, in old goods yards, bombsites and the like. A pernicious weed in gardens and a nuisance to your neighbours. ISTR Mynd Hardy Plants had a white cultivar in their catalogue, as epilobium angustifolium alba, or something similar. I've never actually had to buy any Rosebay Willowherb, myself, they just keep on appearing, like it or not. |
