How to Divide & Grow Lychnis chalcedonica | Dividing Perennials in Spring | Perennial Border Plants

[@wendybartlett6717]

I must get this plant. Another one for the list! Isn't it funny how our plants turn into the most beautiful things later in the season? One minute they're green stems and the next they are so colourful. I managed to get outside this evening as it stopped raining. Even just an hour makes me feel like I'm achieving something. Glad that you've had a good Easter and managed a trip to the garden centre. I've been looking at the weather forecast and it looks like we're going to have a week of rain. At least it'll settle our new plants in!

It's one we would recommend Wendy, but it's not widely available so you might struggle getting it from the garden centre. We got this one from either a plant fair or a perennial plant nursery. You will probably find it Arley Hall nursery as they grow this in the perennial borders there. Glad you enjoyed an hour outside yesterday evening, the lighter nights definitely make all the difference now. Take care xx

Another one to look out for on my next visit to the garden centre! I really enjoy your division demos! I also look at the size of plants with a view to dividing them, you can find some bargains at the end of summer garden centre sales.

Thanks Margaret, there's nothing better than making more plants from what we already have. Glad you like the division videos, there will be lots more to come in the future. It's a great time of year for picking up bargains, a good excuse to go for a coffee too!

Can I divide this plan while has the flower in the Sumer? It grow so fast and I don’t want them to seed in that part of my garden. but my in law wants some of these plans. Thank you great video.

I would wait until it's finished flowering before dividing it. Ideally, wait until the autumn to do it if you can. Thanks for watching 👍
