Wort Posted May 27, 2022 Report Share Posted May 27, 2022 Last summer I planted some terrestrial Utric's in my outdoors sink bog garden, just to see what happened. It was a very mild winter here, and the plants were insulated with a plastic bell cloche. Didn't think I would see them again. We get to the end of May, and the U.praelonga is poking its head up, and U.livida is spreading with a vengeance. U.bisquamata "Betty's Bay" is a no show however. It was a really mild winter though . . . Cheers from Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropfrog Posted May 27, 2022 Report Share Posted May 27, 2022 What is a really mild winter? Up here it would mean not colder than -10c. And that part of the winter is usually 4-6 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wort Posted May 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2022 Some clarification: there were only a few days when temperatures dipped below -2°C all day, and no snow on the ground for longer than a few hours all winter. Very wet conditions but not a great deal wind chill. Cheers from Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wort Posted June 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2022 The U.bisquamata "Betty's Bay" has poked it's head up today! Lots of flower stalks on the U.livida. Cheers from Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommyr Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 livida spreads like wildfire. VERY easy plant to grow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
