impossible, oh surely not?

Sacha writes We find they seem to be pretty tolerant of almost anything that's thrown at them. I think there are some especially tolerant of both but can't remember the name just now. G. paheum, perhaps? snip That's very tolerant indeed of shade, but I don't think it'd cope well with dry soil. Ditto Samobar, which is the garden variety of it with the black leaf spot much more pronounced. All will need *some* watering if it can be arranged with a neighbour in their absence but on the whole, they cope pretty well with dry conditions - total drought would push anything to its extreme! And - all joking aside - would your beloved cacti work there, Kay? I've never grown them so have no idea. Most of our Geraniums survive on the rainfall the heavens provide with the occasional extra dollop. If Kate can find a few cheaply enough to experiment, it will be a lot cheaper than losing Cannas etc. Worth a try, I think. -- -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com Exotic plants, shrubs & perennials South Devon |
