Evening primrose
I've got some 4 foot tall evening primrose with thick woody stems. Will
they grow again next year? If so what do I do to them? John --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.782 / Virus Database: 528 - Release Date: 22/10/04 |

They seed like a weed. In my last garden, they grew only in stony paths and the parking bay. I love them so much that I just let them rip; but when I came to sell, the estate agent took a dim view. He was too polite to say "You go to all that trouble to make five-foot-wide paths and then you let weeds grow in them!", but I knew that was what he meant. They're generally biennial, so this year's flowers will provide the ones for the year after next. Your four-foot darlings are finished, really: you can cut them down after flowering and seeding, and hope a few shoots come up next year, but on the whole I'd pull them up and rely on the seeds to do their thing. Mike. |
