Loved the video.Kris. fabulous planting. The petasites are impressive and frightening at the same time with their growth rate. Much appreciated

Gunnera (don't know which one) has become invasive all over the west and south of Ireland. We have so many invasive species now that are escapees from gardens :-(

Thank you Kris. I live in York & didnt know this garden existed! I will definitely be paying a visit this summer.

Great video and lovely place. Will have to drive down. Thought there might have been more Acer's or did I miss them?

8:31 loos like a Pittosporum nana. Lost mine in winter 2022.

❤ does the first grass you mentioned need to be cut down in winter? Thanks

Made a weed tea with some seeded weed last night this morning all seeds sprouted out of the weed tea bag😂

Good information Kris, but miss some important information also. And yes I do live in the Netherlands and yes I do have a pretty large canna collection:)

Hi, when is the best time to split cannas? Thanks 😊

I got a tricolour Canna last year, and it didn't come up this year. I was really disappointed. Mine came from the garden centre. My others look fine.

This issue was covered by (Mark’s House and Garden UK) also an he show’s examples a taking them out. 👍

Trues

I get Canna Leaf Rollers and have to use spray to rid them unfortunately. But here in Zone 7b in Jackson, TN, U.S.A. with our dreadful heat extremes of summer, often reaching normal temps at or very near 100-degrees F, we get leaf stress here of burning, even with high sun varieties that just cannot take this extreme temps. Hopefully I can keep the canna virus away for awhile longer.

What's the way to over winter Cannas please?

Thank you for this information

Would you be able to put the names on the screen please?

Amazing he can grow these outside in UK

For canna lilies you can grow them from seed economically (40% germination) and in four months have a canna that will bloom within the year. That is what I plan to do because I want to grow it as an edible plant and I want to plant a large patch of them. Otherwise, it is too expensive. I also want to harvest the foliage to use as mulch and compost it because my soil is bereft of organic matter being made up of clay and sandstone chunks. These borderline tropical plants do love the heat, humidity and sun by and large.

Imagine getting arrested for a damn plant. Who gives a s-💩

I planted my 2ft trunked Trachycarpus too close to the house 20yrs ago (about 4ft away) its now 20ft plus and above house but i spent many year triming perfectly good fronds just to stop them brushing againt the houee and windows.... lesson learned the hard way 😂

Everything is similar here, hopefully the weather later this month will get everything catching in up!

4 massive specimens in a local nursery to me. (Carmarthenshire)

Lots for sale everywhere in Canada

I just keep mine under control.....with a spade 😅

Iv bought off ebay

is Darmera peltata classed the same way as i have it growing on the side of my pond

Mine been growing in my garden for 35 years don’t know which variety it is

I’ve seen them for sale in a local nursery (Bedfordshire).

Vertigrow had them in April - they were in the polytunnel with the tree ferns and tetrapanax, though none had price labels on.

Seen them still for sale in garden centre near me in Sheffield

Far too hard to police. And 99% of garden centre customers are just buying plants for their own garden, which is no harm whatsoever!

I commented on a post on the Eden project fb page about them being banned, and someone said they grew and sold them, and I was taking nonsense! I have one in a big container. Had it for 5 years now.

I regularly see them on eBay. I have reported to eBay a couple of times but eBay does nothing (their reporting process is useless).

I bought one this morning at a local garden centre in sheffield for £9, it’s a good size plant.

We bought one a few weeks after the ban was announced, none at the chains around here but between Lincoln and Grimsby there is a place that specializes in pond plants and they say plenty in stock. Also plenty on facebook marketplace. How do you feel about people buying them still Kris?

Suggests that booster is perhaps good for establishing palms, but my takeaway is that I won’t use it ongoing. Interesting with the booster the primary roots are strong as fewer secondary. Very interesting video. Thanks

I think it’s time to grow gardens for the future, this weather is what we are to expect. The exotic garden is not viable. 😢

what bug spray do you use

Sadly this is reassuring that it isn't just my garden that isnt thriving. Great videos as ever Kris

hey Kris what is a good bamboo for height and quick growth ?? garden is looking amazing buddy even if the weather is still naff ..take care Kris

Unfortunately my plants are mostly just sat waiting for some nice weather and the slugs/snails are decimating some of them.

Good to be able to see how your garden is looking, although my garden is looking pretty good with a lot of the plants loving all this rain. The areas of tender plants have been looking so bare. Let's hope we get some warmth soon to get them all going. Thanks for sharing

It has been exceptionally cool up here in Ayrshire this month. Enjoyed the tour.

Hi kris good video my red abbysinian bananas are in pots they are putting out leaves but not getting tall .any help would be be appreciated .Adrian

Great to see the state of play at yours Kris. I have very little tender plants in my garden for exactly the reason you've demonstrated. Summer is so fleeting I need to have an exotic looking back garden all year round so I've loaded even my ginger bed with trachy hybrids as I was sick at looking at dead space 9 months per year. Other than filling the garden with hardy stuff the only alternative option is to head to the Canaries from January to April every year from 55°N which I'd love to do but sadly can't 😁👍

If they are banning the gunnera why not sycamore and horse chestnut trees they are both very invasive introductions?

Hi Chris, which blue bamboo is that at the start, please?

Its all a bit depressing isnt it! Roll on the summer!

I think this weather will be here for the rest of the year. Still looking good your garden 🌴
