spotty dotty.just gotta luv it (and anything doing well)

[redsquirrel]

second year in the ground,have to admit im impressed with this plant.keep finding dead stuff but walk past these on the way out.always puts a shine back on the garden,for me anyway. the perfect flat leaf showing today,treated with that new slug stuff,there arent any holes

Does it flower RedS?

And whats the new kid on the block (slug killer)

The leaf looks nice.

[redsquirrel]

yes they do flower K,

the slug killer is the stuff that stops them eating,they go back after feeding on the bait and then die. its supposedly pet and children safe. i never use bait before because of the pets and wildlife but you need it on these plants,slugs love them.
the kaliedoscope is even more prolific with its markings but sadly the ones i bought were the same as spotty dottys. the tall one in the background is peltatum

They're great little plants aren't they. I planted mine last Summer and have four new shoots come up, still at the mushroom looking stage but getting there.

Another plant I had last year which are now showing lovely yellow flowers, and that's Uvularia Grandiflora, had just gone over flowering last year when I bought it and hadn't seen what the flowers were like, I was attracted to the leaves anyway, but that put a smile on my face as well.

i just found your Uvularia Grandiflora,what a gorgeous groundcover,hope you get the flowers this year
on a high today,things popping up all over the place.found a few more side shoots on the scheffy too. the one i pulled off for Ade is growing well. these warmer nights are having a great effect

Same here...exactly the same plant, but anyway, all are now pushing skywards, which is very pleasing....

[redsquirrel]

last year mine struggled to get going,seems a year in the ground to settle is the ideal tonic.

mines cming up fromlst years planting too not as far ahead as yours red.. but am very happy with it coming back

[redsquirrel]

i planted several last year,some are just poking through,others not at all yet. quality plants though,tough too
