Mail-order promotions - exotics ?
« on: September 02, 2018, 11:47:49 AM »
Hi
Currently Hardenbergia is being promoted by 1 newspaper. Sollya turns up most years too. These both look attractive in close-up photos and I have grown the latter, once.
Has anyone in the UK (away from the west coast) grown these successfully as perennials without conservatory treatment?

My tropical Morning Glory is in its 3rd year in a pot, but I can cut it back severely and store it at 5C without any problem, so far. (Red spider last year excepted. None this year, so far) It reaches the house guttering, up a rope. 6 flowers 1 day the most so far. I am trying tip cuttings. Apparently the seed can be used to brighten up our winter ;-)
