For me our garden is a little oasis of calm and happiness. I just love being in it, pottering about.

Trying my hand at growing new plants from root cuttings. My first attempt is with this beauty 'Clementine' (pic taken last Spring). I adore the apricot coloured petals and candelabra shape.

@richard.spicer.7906 does yours come back every year?

Hello, sorry for only just replying. I've had it two years now and it flowered both years, but I haven't seen it yet this year. I'll have to take a peak in the morning and see if there is signs of life.

@richard.spicer.7906 that's good to hear. I'd read they can be a little tricky. I hope the root cutting works!

Yes, fingers crossed with those. I've just learnt how to take verbascum root cuttings - have some on the go at the moment for another variety - think it's called 'Royal Highland'.
