Question from
Pennycot - Brian Foreman
I have grown a number of plants from seed (bought at Durham Botanical Gardens). I have a damp shaded area in the garden reserved for them, but I am unsure when to plant them out. I know they flower July onwards, but do I plant them out in the Autumn, or winter them over in the greenhouse and plant out in the Spring? I am based in a hill village just outside Macclesfield so we get frosts early to wards the end of the year and late at the beginning. Any suggestions? Thanks
