Is it safe to put farmyard manure around heathers ?
I took a snip last summer (pic attached ) and i potted it and it has bloomed but I've no idea what it is. Would you have any idea? There are 7 stems with only 1 little flower head.Also should I wait till May to plant out and lastly should I divide it now before planting out? Any advice would be great.
I have a 100 ft boundary block wall and its 6ft tall. I want to cover the wall with flowers/plants etc. what would you recommend.
We have only shale and builders' rubble in our back garden but want to lay lawn. Would we need topsoil/clay if we want turf/sod which already has about 1" soil backing to take?
If I pinch out the main shoots of my Dahlia plants at 3 sets of leaves (18-20") to promote bushier growth, by how much roughly would this reduce the eventual height. I have a few tall varieties (40-48") but my site can get windy conditions at times. I have shorter cvrs but I would like to keep these tall ones. I have staked them but this looks ugly.
Can you kindly identify this plant for me please. Spotted on the roadside in a bogland area.
