sorry i havent heard of that plant, but it sounds good, with three colours on it

anything that survives in my garden is good most things die on me.


hostas and clematis seem to be the ones that i do ok with , and roderdendrons as well .



i also have some lily of the vally that have gone crazy this year ,and i didnt even plant them ,they must have been seeded from some where , but they smell really nice even though the flowers are only small.
here is a pic of them

Yes, thats it mee, I have a few and they have a lovely aroma. Also Ill attempt to post a photo of my bouganvillea. They are mostly a rapid growing vine with enormous thorns, but when i bought my house there was one here trained as a tree/bush, when its in flower ill post a photo ( Ihope)

question... I have a clematis... but our back graden does not get much sun, and my clematis does not grow very fast, or flower much... is there a specialist food I can give it to make it grow quicker?
