Shasta Daisy's Flowering In December.


I spent yesterday morning in the polytunnel potting on and watering the newly rooted shrubs and perennials cuttings.  

It was bucketing it down and I looked outside and noticed two of my Shasta Daisy's were still flowering.  According to gardening internet sites they should stop flowering in September.

Perhaps it's living on the Gulf Stream or that I didn't cut them back like the others?   

But  there they stood in the heavy rain in all their glory.  

Have you got flowers flowering out of season in your garden?

I have just been outside and noticed an Agapanthus flowering.  I think the plants think it's  Spring.

  1. We have got daffodils coming through and in a decking pot there's a little sunflower that sprung from a seed that a bird must have dropped. It is small but it is trying tenaciously to live. I need to take a picture of it.

  2. I was reading the other day that our grandchildren may never get to use a sledge or build a snow man. I don't know if its global warming or living on the Gulf stream here in Ireland? Look forward to seeing your sunflower YP.

  6. This is my first Christmas here, so I don't know what is normal, but my garden seems to be asleep for the winter. We are zone 7a, does Britain have zones like that? Anyway, only the bushes and pines seem to be stirring.

    1. Hope you have a great first Christmas Kim. Britain can get every season in a day. 2010 was the last time there was a lot of snow. Even here in Ireland we had the most accumulation of snow for fifty years. I don't know of any zones in Britain. The bulbs will start appearing very soon in gardens and in the wild.

  9. It sure is crazy, I've new flowers on the hydrangea, fruit on raspberries and strawberries and my daffodils leaves are 15cm high. If it wasn't for the 15cm of mud at the bottom of the garden I would still be enjoying the garden. Normally by now the ground up here is frozen and the only colour is the jasmine.

  10. Hi Diane. When I lived in the northwest of England I use to believe in double digging and leaving the earth rough for the winter for the frost and rain to break it down. Now I live in Ireland the ground is too wet to garden yet the summer flowers are in winter. It's strange.

  11. I live in NW England 900+ft up a hill near the Moors and for the past few years it's been too wet to double dig. My daughter has just moved to a farm in N.Ireland and can't believe how much wetter it is, their broom is in flower!

  12. Perhaps you should become a 'no dig' gardener Debby? Just keep adding homemade compost to the beds. The broom is in flower a lot in Ireland.
