what plant might I help to grow wild on the Isle of Lewis?

Its quite possible that they have finished their flowering, so cut the fuchsia down by two thirds, water and feed, and they may well be flowing again by October. A grower I know opens his garden for the NGS in June where he has 150 varieties of fuchsia on show, day after, cuts down all the plants by a third, de leaves them (that's a mammoth job) and they are all back for his Autumn NGS open day! In the 12 days since I cut them right back (I was brutal!) they have produced masses of fresh green shoots and look like they are going to be bigger and stronger. i never would have dreamed of hacking a plant to pieces like this but it certainly seems to have given it a kick up the arse! |
