Geranium, how tall do you think Geranium Stogumber grows please? I've got a couple that are big enough to go out now but I'm not sure where to plant them.

Oh, it's quite a tall one then. I'll try and get some seeds!
Thanks for the info Geranium!

My common pink geranium has grown up through one of my big shrubs ( vibernum) and is poking out of the top  ;D |

Has anyone else noticed the wonderful Autumn foliage of Bill Wallis. LG kindly sent me a little plant as well as some seeds earlier this year & he's on my plant stand until things die back a bit & I can see what's what in the borders. I noticed a flash of colour yesterday & Bill's foliage is turning a bright, bright scarlet i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/smiley.gif Some of the other geraniums I've got say they've got good Autumn colour, but I must admit I've never noticed much, sometimes the psilostemon goes a bit red round the edges, but that's about it.

How lovely Jilly, I'm glad to hear it's done well for you. :)I cut a lot of mine back a while ago as the weather ruined it and what I still have is quite green at the moment.

How easy is it to plant somewhere else - what kind of roots have they?? I have one that is covering Angeface partially - it needs to be moved back a bit ??!!
Haven't a clue what it is..

Thanks Geranium - will send the cavalry in if it is a pink one...just pleased that they can all be moved as I really have planted a couple in wrong places - I didn't realise how big they would get...

I moved Splish Splash last year and it settled in and did great for me. A friend gave me Johnstons Blue a few weeks ago and although it wilted a lot after replanting, it's come back to life again now. I love this one and have it at the allotment but it does get quite big too. |

I dug up a Crystal Lake a few weeks ago as it is a complete triffid and got 2 new plants out of it. One bit started growing straight away and the other which looked a bit woeful has now got new green shoots.

That is my thought for the moment Geranium! If I have learnt nothing else over the past few weeks it is that you need nothing but to be healthy and happy...or in the absence of healthy...happy |
