Gorgeous! I ve got to have that!

I like this suggestion as i like the genus/species in general. Regrettably, I cut my penstemon way back in the fall and lost it this last winter.

I have just bought 2 of these plants from my garden centre.. they had them reduced from £12.00 to £3.00 might nip back and get the white ones if theres any left haha thank you for the information...

Pretty 😀🌸🌸

Sounds like a very reliable perennial. Bonus very pretty bloom ! Thks.for the suggestion,Rosie. 🌞

I have tried several kniphofias in my clay soil in sunny positions and they grow well enough, but for some reason they produced very few flowers, so I have given up on them.

I just nip the flowers off and they still grow well.

❤❤❤

Loving your excellent online propagation course. Still plenty of time to try lots of things this year. Thank you Rosy.

Brilliant! Reasons for multiple failures understood at last, thank you so much.

Pretty not seen that plant before😀🌼

Is the plant sweet, or yummy for rabbits? I planted one in the spring- it bloomed and now all the leaf branches are cut at about 15-20 cm above the ground- not one leaf left on it only stumps of stems 😢

Thanks Rosie. Being part of the pea family, is this one that is resistant to powdery mildew?

Another new one to us. Lovely spires to fill in for summer colour ! Thks.Rosie. 🌈

Thank you so much, Rosie! I’m really excited to begin your course. US zone 6B

I've successfully propagated nepeta and penstamons that are in flower. I just cut the flowers off, remove some of the bottom leaves, (which is where the roots will come from) and dip in hormone powder and let root over a month or so. Best to plant cuttings close to the side of a terracotta pot and keep moist and out of direct sun. Cuttings need to be about 8 to 10 cm long....if your cutting is something like daphne or a budleia make sure you cut some larger leaves in half, (widthways) to reduce water loss, and make sure you have at least 2 nodes under the soil, for better chance of rooting. Spring and summer, even early autumn time is the best time for propagating. Geraniums and fuschias are also good to propagate. I havent had luck propagating camelias, rhododendrons or ericas...they are really difficult. Most perenials can be divided with roots and is so much easier than propagating.

Oops, too long. Thank you rosie

What do you think about Thunbergia Sunny Susy series?

I took cuttings from Sedum and Salvia and placed them in the potting soil about 4 weeks ago. Do you think they are ready to be transplanted directly to the ground? Or, should I move them to individual pots first? By the way the sedum cuttings have developed buds, no, they did not have flower buds when the cuttings were taken.

Thank you Rosy for answering my question about Rose Crown Gall, I will (sadly) remove and destroy this rose. Many thanks, love your channel, Regards Tina

Excellent advice. Thanks

Thank you very much This 80 year old grandmother has learnt a lot.

You are one of many on youtube who clam to know the proper way to propagate cuttings. Why should I believe you as the right one?

Thank you Rosie

Thank you for your tips. I had mostly success with longer cuttings, but I will try shorter ones.

Hi Rosy when will you have these in stock again?

I was at one of my local nurseries here in Olympia, Washington last month and stumbled across this beautiful plant. I bought three of them; two I put in big pots and one is going in the ground. So thankful to have this information.

Cheers Rosie. As always, these are very helpful tips and clearly explained by you.

Very useful information. Thank you.

Very interesting... any specific advice about propagating Geranium Ardens?

Valuable,interesting presentation & easy to understand and remember ! Thks.again,Rosie,for helping us all. 🌈

Thank you, Rosy! As always very informative 👌

Thank you so much Now I realise where I went wrong with a salvia I tried to propagate last month. - too long and the shoots were flowering ones that I simply removed the flowers. I shall try again tomorrow while we have this cool weather.

Hi Rosy a Q please for next time. What would be an attractive shrub to plant on relatively poor soil (builders’ rubble) in full sun, hopefully with interest year round? Thanks in advance!

Recently had to prune an itea and someone drove over half of a viburnum. So I figured I’d make this an opportunity and try to propagate since there are some areas on the property I’d like to fill in. I’ve had success with pyracantha in a propagator so I used that and also used longer pieces in tree seedling pots. Cut off extra foliage and immature berries. Hoping for the best.

What a gift of knowledge to the world!

Excellent video! I wonder how I’ve gotten anything to propagate (pure luck of the numbers) because I’ve been going about just willy nilly and from your very informative video, doing most things wrong!

Thank you Rosy, very helpful. Can I ask, do cuttings at this time of year (July UK) need to go in the greenhouse or could I leave them outside against the wall of the house and do I need to put a plastic bag over the top to keep in the humidity? Thank you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have now realized I was drowning my cuttings, it is thus amazing that some survived and flourished.

Thanks Rosy 💎

We hope you enjoy this video :) For Rosy's NEW Online Propagation Course, go to this link: rosy-hardy.teachable.com/p/rosy-hardy-s-propagation-workshop-launch

Lovely thank you😀🌼🌼

Hello Rosie! Thank you so much for answering my question about my fig tree. I ate a lot of these figs and really enjoyed them when I was pregnant with my now 4-months-old daughter, I hope she will get to enjoy them too in a couple of years!. Lucile

Singular elegance!

Your thumbnail picture is a fake copy / paste / edit with the months indicated. There is absolutely no difference between the flowers, in space. It's impossible to have the exact same angle, curve, size, balance... Between pictures of flowers taken months appart. Just the wind would change the direction, there is absolutely no changes inbetween.

It's beautiful Rosy. You always have the most unique and interesting plants. I love learning from you! ❤

Hi Rosie. Thinking of adding some to our garden,which is mainly xeriscaped. Lovely punch of colour on this one,& the grassy leaves are a bonus. Thks.! 🌈

Thank you. Very thorough, I learned a lot. I love Savia Caradonna along with Geranium Rozanne in a sunny border but would like something else that is sun loving and flowers for a long time. Any suggestions. I have wondered about geum totally tangerine. I have an orange berry pyracantha on the wall behind the bed.

Love alliums 🌱

Thank you for your expert advice Rosy. Would it be possible, for you to show your plants growing in a landscape, or public garden?
