Planted in a South facing collection of containers, this plant has thrived. 2 seasons of pleasure. Can't say more.

This shrub is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
"Incredibly attractive in a traditional or Mediterranean border; also ideal for naturalised gardens (insects love it) or coastal gardens"

I first saw this plant when I visited an "Open Garden" so made a note of the name and then looked online to find a supplier. I am very pleased with the plant, it took a short while to establish but once it got going it flowered very well. I am looking forward to it being even better next year. I was very impressed with the packaging and delivery.

I saw the combination of the Silver Ghost with Perovskia Blue Spire. They do look great together. Healthy plants which are still going. Which for me - is somewhat a miracle.

Yes I would expect to see some growth on these plants, particularly as the weather has improved in recent weeks. Feel free to get in touch with us at customerservices@crocus.co.uk with your order number, photos of the plant and mention you've posted a review here too, thank you.

These plants are fully hardy, so provided your soil is not waterlogged or frozen, they should be planted straight out in the border.

Ideally these plants should be cutback in spring, however it's not possible for me to tell if they will have been killed. by their autumn trim. With that in mind, I would just keep an eye on them and keep my fingers crossed. I also wouldn't give up on them too early either, as it is often late May or even June before they start to put on new growth.

Hello there In the spring, say about March I would cut the plants back to a framework approx 30-45cm above ground. This will help to encourage bushier growth. As these are later flowering plants they can be quite late to show any new shoots.

Hello, These are late-summer flowering, so I would not expect them to be showing any signs of life for another couple of months. You shoud however cut them back in March.

Hello There, There are a number of reasons why plants don't flower including too much shade, not enough water or nutrients, or pruning at the wrong time of the year. It can also be caused by the plant putting on new root growth instead of focusing its energies on producing flowers. I am not really sure why yours has not produced buds, but you can often give them a bit of a push by feeding with a high potash fertiliser. I hope this helps. Helen Plant Doctor

Many flowering plants can be encouraged to produce better and longer-lasting displays with the minimum of effort. A plant produces flowers in order to reproduce and ensure the survival of the species. Once a plant has flowered and fertilisation has taken
