just wondering if any of you still have flowering nasturtiums?

ours are still going strong and some of this years' seedlings are nearly flowering too.

most of them will probably get blasted when we get the winter/spring gales but they're nice at the moment!

No nasturtiums, just chrysanths and dahlias.

oooh! i got a lovely yellow chrystanth from tescos, reduced from €9 to about €5 -- it just needed a bit of watering and it's really put on a good show now: covered in flowers!

Chrysanths are my absolutey most favourite flower.  They might be considered old fashioned but I don't care.

do you keep yours from year to year? mine got killed in frosts when we lived in the uk (west midlands/worcs) but i reckon it would be ok here apart from getting battered in the gales -- cut it right back after flowering, right? :?:

Yes, but then we always do, Rose. :wink:

My dahlias have been in for three years and seem to thrive on neglect.  Unfortunately, I only planted chrysanths this summer for the first time and have no idea how they will overwinter.
