vine weevil and rosemary beetle!!
I have a small border at the front of the house that is NW facing. Its been
planted up twice now the first got destroyed by vine weevil the second by rosemary beetle. Does anyone have any good ideas what would thrive in this (dry) site and not get eaten alive??? I wanted to have Mediterranean herbs but the rosemary beetle killed all of them. I favour the unusual by the way.... any ideas? Mike ps btw we have Knotweed at the back too, great eh?? oh and mice or some rodent eats all the Camellia's (and other) flower buds!!!! .....great :-( |

Possibly Geranium palmatum. Low growing or trimmed Cotoneasters. Topiary box. And treat the area regularly with nematodes, perhaps. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon |
