Ilex x meserveae ‘Gentle'

I was very good at #larchcottage and only bought one plant that I didn’t plan to but it’s a beauty #ilex-gentle #ipex-meserveae-gentle #blue-holly #larchcottagenurseries

That looks special, wow 😍😍😍

It is also covered in teeny flower buds too, so I can’t wait to see what it’s like once they open 😃 @pelly

How unusual and what a great choice

I found an article about its introduction if you’re interested Sharon 🧐 https://mrplantgeek.com/2019/12/10/ilex-gentle-plant-of-the-month/amp/ @sharonhayden

Always interested- my seeds you send haven’t germinated - do you think it’s still to cold?

No that’s odd. Elaine said hers were almost ready to be planted out, so perhaps something went wrong 🙁Maybe they got too hot and dry. It’s been so sunny @sharonhayden

I tried again- will start again as you sent lots 😜 @awomanonabike

Oh dear. Maybe ask Elaine what she did as I’ve never tried to grow them from seed as it self-seeds 🤔🧐 @sharonhayden @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Does this help Sharon? https://www.seedaholic.com/eccremocarpus-scaber-chilean-glory-flower.html @sharonhayden

@awomanonabike @sharonhayden Are you talking about the (hardy geranium) seeds...I set them off last year and they’re doing great now.....those are the only seeds I’ve had off you Jacqueline....

OMG 😳 I’m completely confused. I thought you had some eccremocarpus carpus seeds Elaine. Somebody put me away. I shouldn’t be let out 😂🤣@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom @sharonhayden
