Mumsnet Talk

i.e. the gardening equivalent of MN?

I just have some questions to ask and general hints and tips to pick up on.

Alternatively, can anyone answer me:

Can I plant spring bulbs with daylilies - will the former come up through the daylily foliage? Will there be any foliage by March/April?

Is it too late to plant out daylilies? If so, should I let them overwinter in the pot?

Also anyone got any good ideas on plants to combine with Monarda/bergamot?

Re the daylillies, yes you could plant them now, no need to overwinter them. Not sure when the foilage comes up but early bulbs ought to be be fine I think.

Re the Bergamot, it depends on what colour they are and what you like. Geraniums, verbena or grasses could all work, depends also on what else you have growing in your border.

Cheers for the link

I was going to go for a red bergamot - I was thinking of combining it with an eryngium for a bit of contrast, and then maybe some scabiosa at the front of the bed to bring the height down. I'd love to have some verbena, but it's only really a half hardy perennial and with the frosts we get up north I can't see it doing too well.

Will get my daylilies, kaffir lilies and sisirhynchium planted out before I give birth if my SPD lets me!

Why won't my peace lily houseplant flower. It was lovely last year but no flowers since then. It's off to the great houseplant home in the sky soon if it doesn't.

I sometimes look at www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/grapevine

And apparently peace lilies are notoriously grumpy. Do you feed them regularly?
