    Love this show but not with Kathy clugston as chair. Peter Gibbs is just so much more professional & easy on the ear. Looks like now we are to be deprived of all old episodes sadly for the sake of the big dollar - or should I say pound!

Wrexham County Borough: Rose Cuttings, Begonias and Hydrangeas

Q: How can I grow Verbena bonariensis in this area?
Growing Verbena bonariensis in Scotland typically requires protection from severe winters and potential overwintering inside or starting from seed each year, as it doesn't self-seed well in colder regions.

Cold frames ideally need some sunlight for better results, and placing one in full shade would likely hinder growth. Positioning it to receive as much sunlight as possible is key.
