Imperata cylindrica 'Red Baron'

#grasses

Bought myself one of these after seeing yours Dave but it’s not looking healthy and no red on it , not sure what I’ve done wrong. It’s at the front of raised border and gets afternoon sun @davewrightjoinerygooglemail.co

@lovemygarden65 i put mine in a moisture retentive compost, with some grit added to it, on the advice of sam @icedance marilyn, and they have done well . Ive got a couple more which havnt done so well, so maybe its a bit of the luck of the draw when buying them.

On its way back .

Does it like damp conditions 🤔

@suerichards if i remember rightly sue, i put them in a moisture retentive compost, with some grit mixed in. I think they like damp but not wet, if that makes sense. Sam @icedance advised me, and got it spot on as usual. She's a clever girl, that one. Always gives good advice.

Aaaw thank you Davy, not having the best of days but that out a smile on my face, it looks amazing 😍and I reckon you could get another pot full out of that soon

@icedance sorry to hear that sam, if its any consolation ive had a pretty 💩 one myself. Bring on tomorrow ☀️

Sorry to hear that too David, absolutely... tomorrow's another day ☀️

Making a comeback 🤗

Two new additions, to add to the two ive already got.

That makes 4 you need to share 👍😍

@keely i need 8 in total to go along the edge of the decking. Not sure wether to divide the bigger ones, so they'll all be the same size 🤔 and save a few quid.

I would divide Dave give them breathing space too 👍

@keely sounds a bit like my belly these days keely, thet could do with dividing 😮

Funny you say that I tried a skirt on today and thought jeeeze what's that hanging over top, best cut out those cakes before my cruise this year 😂😂😂

@keely, theyll be plenty of cakes on the cruise keely. Somewhere exotic?

That's the issue need to make room 😂😂 Caribbean this year 👍🔆🌞 bit of Winter sun in November 😊
