How long is the flowering season?
@virtualgardener 2 ай бұрын
@@lesleywaghorn1627 Hi Lesley. The buds on my flowers started showing several weeks ago. Each bud takes their time then bursts into full flower. Each flower will last 2-3 weeks, perhaps a little more. I let the flowers die off and fall if I can so as much goodness goes back into the plant as possible. They are amazing and once settled need little care.

Do not lay slabs around your pond when you’re fish are in it. The cement and mortar will drop into the pond and can poison the fish. My top tip is to partially fill the pond then lay the slabs, the following day you should empty the pond, hoover out any debris then refill and put your fish back in. I would also add that you should try and save as much pond water at the beginning of the work as it’s good mature water
