linuxman Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 They look really good ada. I must also put mine out in the greenhouse as I've got a load of ants in it for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoLongFairWell Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Why do you keep them outside for the winter Ada? Is it for colouring up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ada Posted April 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Richard, I keep them INSIDE for winter.(my house) i learnt the hard way a few years ago and lost nearly all my cephs when i left them out in the greenhouse all winter and the frost killed most of them. They had survived down to minus 7 or 8 previous to this but below that and they're dead! ada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoLongFairWell Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 I see. I must remember that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blocky71 Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Beautiful plants Ada, I brought mine in for the most part but soon found mildew making an appearance so out they went again, then back in, out, in....... You get the picture!. I have my fingers crossed for some decent growth this year, last year proved pretty lack lustre and not even one flower spike :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you recall, it was an extended freeze that went on for about five days, they can stand an overnight freeze, but like you I no longer take that risk, as soon as viscious weather appears in they come.

pulsar Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 I have found they can survive quite low temperatures but only as older specimen But can then take a long time to recover and as the growing season in the uk is relatively short it's not worth the risk growing outdoors 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
