Now this really does need cutting back. Today is the day I think, it's sunny and dry. At last, and I can plant my Hellebore too 💕💕

@pelly Oh dear, we get sick of those days, just too many of them. I didn't get very far, just managed to get the Hellebore in, what a struggle that was getting it out of the pot 🙄💕💕

@debsgarden99 Even though the Sedum's way past it's best. It's just not been fit out there to get to it. My fingers were nearly frozen just planting my new Hellebore 😱💕💕

@pelly They grow so big don't they, after finishing flowering last year I cut it right down. Yet, here it is again as big as ever 💕💕

For some reason this has just been top heavy and splayed out all over the place. I cut it back last year and this is what I've got @valjones-hughes 😊😊💕💕

Good Morning Christine, I have a Sedum that occasionally does the same, always occurs when there has been a lot of too growth with the weight of the flowers, lovely plant, just cut right back and place a few flower stems in a vase and enjoy the blooms in your home, these should last for a few weeks, have a good week

I know I've posted this plant a while ago but I looked at the colour now and it's such an intense pink, it's almost unreal. I'll feel sad when it's finished blooming; I definitely need a cutting from it!!💕💕💕😊😊

I cut some for the house last year Christine ......they lasted ages in the vase and actually grew roots. I eventually planted them in the garden as they were ......great way to propagate :))

@midnightgardener Good to see you've decided on a greenhouse, need a photo when in place, ensure ground pegs are installed to secure the base to the ground / soil, just in case we have a gail, as I learnt the hard way a few years ago.☺🔧
