Don't ask me why, but they are bad enough to stop its flowers opening. Note that it does NOT shoot from very old wood or the base, unlike the common L. japonica. L. henryi has rather dull flowers, but is pleasantly evergreen. All of those should be happy with winter pruning (and when needed to avoid being strangled), and not too fussy generally, though I have not grown the hydrangea or that variety of jasmine. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

Regards, Nick Maclaren. I have hydrangea anomola petiolaris growing happily in my garden. It was in the front garden (south facing) when I moved here, but the plant looked very unhappy. They don't like much direct sunshine. I dug it up (it was only a year or so old) and moved it to the back of the house (north facing) and it has never looked back. It is self clinging, like ivy. Has wonderful white flowers once established. Mine didn't flower for a couple of years, but now it does regularly and I have to make sure it doesn't get clinging onto the drainpipe - its becoming a thug. -- Chris Boulby National Collection of Diascias |

Note that it does NOT shoot from very old wood or the base, unlike the common L. japonica. thanks Nick, it will be in the sunniest position in the garden, but as i live in the city it will only get full sun in the afternoon as sun comes over the house for a good few hours before disappering over next set of houses. have u had any success spraying tellanniana against greenfly or would you recommend some other solution The solution I recommend is one of soft soap, or washing up liquid with a splash of meths (diluted)! Generally, in full sun, I don't have to. But I find that the organic solutions are at least as effective against greenfly as the systemic synthetic ones. If it is grown facing north, I find that its shoots and bugs need spraying twive a week. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
