Anyone else noticed that theirs is doing particularly well this year? I've
never seen ours so well covered in flowers and it's put on a lot of new growth, too. I'm wondering if it's the very severe cutting back it got last year for the seriously cold spell we had. Perhaps it responds best to brutal treatment! I've no idea which it is as it was planted long ago but it's a deep coral colour. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon Exotic plants, shrubs & perennials online |

The other plant that is better this year than I can remember it ever being is the Pulmonaria, the garden is full of it and so many flowers. |

Mine is flowering well this year, but it's a twig by comparison. Pruning does seem to help, although I'm not sure I've got it snip-perfect yet, but it certainly seems to make a difference. Spider |

It was planted a long time ago, Spider, at least 50 years and Ray thinks - thinks- it's Knaphill Scarlet but we can't be certain. Hyams swapped plants between Agatha Christie, the Elmhirsts at Dartington and himself so when it comes to things he planted, there's no knowing always what we have. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon Exotic plants, shrubs & perennials online |

Perhaps there's a Chaenomeles expert out there somewhere, but it doesn't really matter which one it is (except that we all want one now!); that's such a lovely story that it's a kind of provenance in itself. Quite a responsibility to look after a magnificent plant with like that such a history. Spider |

We do have a wonderful Magnolia delavayi which was given to Hyams by Agatha Christie as a clone of one of hers and it's a huge thing now. Obviously, there are other lovely things he planted but that's a known provenance because her old gardener - now dead - was a friend of Ray's and came here often. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon Exotic plants, shrubs & perennials online |
