Verbena

@hobnob this is it when I first potted

I live in Verbena St. can not grow them for love nor money. 💩

Oh dear mine are in partial shade and afternoon sun there in coir and compost with sand for drainage @Sussanah

What’s coir

@Sussanah it's another term for coconut husk. It's sold in compressed bricks at garden centers for pretty cheap.

I use it at the bottom of my pots to always have moisture in hot days.

I recently bought 2 bricks on sale. They are approx 30cm square by 7 cm. They expand anout 20 times mixed with water. I have such poor soil I plan on mixing this with my other amendments when I prepare my beds for planting. @wtwitchell6969 @Sussanah

@lesliecole49 sound like something I need. I’ve got date palm fibre that’s all. We get out spelling from the French. Eg tyres. Tyers. Centre. Center. Neighbour. Neighbor. Toilet. Restroom.
