Allium advice re. planting location
Question from
Most advice for Alliums suggest a sunny well drained position is required. The questions is must the leaves be in a sunny position (they come well ahead of the flower) or is it the flowers (about 4ft tall) which would grow up through the overhanging branches (good support) and then be in the sun when it came to flower.

Acer (orange dream)
Question from
Hi I'm looking for advice on a small Acer I bought 4 months ago. I have planted it in my garden and it seems to be dying. It's leaves are shrivelling and dropping. It's not grown any height either. I have it in quite a sunny west facing spot which is fairly sheltered. Any advice welcomed. TIA

Acer Sangokaku - has it died?
Question from
This tree was planted just over one year ago by a landscape gardener on their recommendation. Planted into clay but mixed with new compost, not a shaded spot or very sheltered. It did well with full colour range for a few months, then suffered leaf scorch and has not started to bud this year. I know there’s a problem as my other 2 acers are budding quite well. I have scraped the bark and it does not show any green, more a light brown. 3 photos attached. Has it died or what remedial action can be taken??
Many thanks,
Anna

Snake Lily - Amorphophallus konjac question
Question from
Does anyone know why my snake lily went from the flowering stage to a bunch of green clustered "berries" at the top of the stalk, instead of the stalk drying up after flowering and then regrowing the new stalk that looks like a sort of palm tree?

Canna
Question from
My Canna Red Velvet that I've had for about 2 months produced a flower stalk but only one flower, the rest just seemed to wither. Is this normal? Other flower stalks seem to be growing, I've watered regularly and fed with tomorite.

Asiatic Lily - Nice foliage but no buds
Question from
I had planted a number of Asiatic lily bulbs in pots. They have grown well, with lovely foliage. I regularly spray fungicide and pesticide. A few of the stalks have healthy looking buds, so I have now switched from balanced feed to weekly high potash feed. However many of the plants do not show any signs of buds. (see photos). Will buds grow eventually? What should I do to ensure they all flower next year? Many thanks.
