#foliagefriday

@davewrightjoinerygooglemail.co they like damp conditions don’t they 🤔 I always seem to lose mine 🤷‍♀️

@suerichards yes sue, they like wet feet, as do most plants i buy 🙄 they were happy yesterday though.

Much happier now its in the ground.

Thanks debra, ive been toying on getting one of those mirrors, that looks like a part open door to fit on it. Think it would look great.

Much happier in the ground.

Was there a horse named after that gent?

On my list! 😍

@hayleyaj get a new water butt aswell hayley 😂

Thirsty buggers eh?! No problem. I’ve a few like that! 😂😂

@lostgardener more than likely mark 😂

Loving the rain 🌧🌧🌧

Morning all. Its stopped raining. Just. The ligularia has been enjoying it 🌧🤗

Morning Dave, it's still chucking it down here ☔☔

@pelly it is here now jane. I thought it was to good to be true 🙄

#foliagefriday coming on strong now.

@columbiariver if you scroll across laura, theres lots of pics of it. Its great in autumn.

Coming to life.

@daisy-jane Hi jane . Hard to believe, but this is it, just starting to come to life. It should look a lot different in a few weeks 🤗

Morning Dave 🙋 it will probably grow huge in the ground,I look forward to watching it grow 🤗

#foliagefriday just on the turn 🤗 aug 2018.

Stunning plant's 💚 I really really need one in my garden this year 😍😁

@daisy-jane it struggled last year Jane, in its pot, with it being so hot, so I've found a much shadier spot and put it in the ground, so keen to see how it gets on this year. They do like their feet wet 😃

Evening Dave 🙋 so sorry for the late reply 😬 I'm looking forward to seeing how this gets on in the ground too,I remember you saying they like it wet,I'm sure it will take off like your bamboo 😍👍

Really struggled this year with this in a pot, so its had a good chop, and gone in the ground, in the dampest part of the garden.

#ligularia

Ligularia just about coping with the weather.

Love the fallen churn look...😉👌🏼

A much taller version than mine 👍

@vec its a great statement plant julie, but struggles in a pot in this heat. It likes wet feet 😂

Mine is in the ground. It certainly let's you know when it's not wet enough 💦

Not a bad months growth. #foliagefriday

Fantastic 💚💚💚

Lovely foliage, it’s a real waterlover

Difficult to believe this is the same plant .

Oh that's fab! 😍

Never.....!!

Omg 😯 isn’t nature wonderful to think it will be like that again in summer @davewrightjoinerygooglemail.co

I hope my brunnera,s grow as well @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom @lovemygarden65 @hayleyaj 🤗

#ligularia

You must have to water that a LOT! Fabulous

Its a waterholic joan. Can have 20 litres a day in the summer . It soon tells you though . @joanboston

I have two different Liguria in the ground and they soon flop when they need watering

#foliagefriday

Love this, I’m a sucker for beautiful foliage 💚❤️💚

Been painting the tips of those leaves again Dave....😂

@davewrightjoinerygooglemail.co Too late Dave they all do it......🤫

I remember you posting this before and instantly wanted one Dave its on the wishlist 😍👍

Make sure youve got a water butt close by jane , their thirsty 🌧 @daisy-jane

Will do Dave,just showed the Mr he loves it too,is yours in a big pot and is it in sun or shade 💚

Ive got it in a big pot jane in full sun , but its got to be kept wet or it just wilts straight away. It has around 3 big watering can a day if its hot @daisy-jane

Cheers Dave might be a thirsty one but definitely worth it,just love it and love the flower spikes it gets too,going to have a hunt online me thinks 🙄😁👍

The ever changing ligularia 😊

Ligularia is taking on a different look.

Wow love this 💚

Wow that's amazingly gorgeous 💚💜

Ooh not seen this before Dave,going to have to get some for my garden I love it 💚💜💚

Just had a look at some pics of this,does yours get the yellow flower spikes too

@daisy-jane yes it does Jane. Nothing to get to excited about. A great foliage plant though. Needs plenty of water . Not an issue this summer 😂

@daisy-jane if you go on to the plants section on my page I've got pictures of it from early spring to now 😊

Not everyone's cup of tea , but there's just something about these plants that I love 🤗

I think it's fab, I've added it to my wishlist 🌞😀🌞

I bought this last year Dave and I love it too ......very striking :)

On my wishlist now too 💛😊

Liguiler coming into flower.

That's lovely 😊

Liguiler starting to flower.

Maybe this is going a bit to far, but the ligularia,s not keen on this hot spell 😂😓

😂😂😂

😂😂😂

😂😂😂

Liguiler just about fully grown and ready to flower. 😊

Probably the best it's been.

Love the foliage

Puts mine to shame 👍

Bet you can wait for that monster to flower gonna need shades😎

@adiamond it's a bit dissapoint ing alex the flower. Considering the size of the plant.

Still growing.

From off the outhouse roof.

Hope your safe up there Dave @davewrightjoinerygooglemail.co nothing like getting a pic from a different angle 👏👍

@jadojado29 I'm like an old mountain goat on a roof Suzie. Something I've done for over 30 years.😁

Still needs a good water even when it's raining. Must be like a big umbrella.

They do like it damp!

@joanboston you can say that again joan, I'd have been better off planting it in the water butt 😂.

I have this and Desdemona you can always tell when they need watering by the drooping leaves!

Just about as big as it gets , just waiting for the flowers now.

Such a fab plant 💚👍🌼

Still growing.

It's still growing 🍀🍀🍀

Even when it rains it still needs watering. It's like a huge umbrella ☂

Morning all. Fresh but sunny start to the day. The ligularia is still romping away.

Morning Dave 🙋🙋🙋

Morning Dave wow that's shot up since weekend 💛💛💛

@keely it's like a triffid when it gets going. Just keep watering every day 😁

Great glossy leaves on this.

Hope my tree fern grows as quick as this. Wishful thinking.

💚💚💚 just noticed your going to plantagogo tomorrow, Heuchera and Cakes so jealous, enjoy and I'll look forward to seeing what you buy @davewrightjoinerygooglemail.co

Some really healthy looking #newgrowth .

#ligularia

Morning Dave. 🙋🙋🙋

@pelly morning jane, hope you have a good weekend. Mine is going to be spent clearing up the mess I made last weekend 😂

Sounds like fun Dave. 😂😂😂

#signsoflife just starting to get going.

Wow that's looking good

I've always wanted to try a Ligularia - i can't quite tell from the picture, but are you growing this in a pot? And how easy have you found it?

Fabulous plant 👏👏❤️

@richard.spicer.7906 yes rich its in a pot. There really easy to grow, but need a lot of water, I usually give it a full watering can in the morning and the same again at night. You can't really miss doing it.

Very interesting 🤔, it never occurred to me to even try it in a pot. I think you may have inspired me to give it a go 😀. Will take note about the watering too. Cheers David 👍🏼

Never stops growing this one.

Couldn't understand why this plant was knick named the rocket. Until you see the rate it grows.
