November Garden Flowers On The Irish Riviera.

 It's been very mild weather here the last few days and the plants in the gardens seem to think winter is not on its way yet:

Geranium.
Hebe.
Myrtle.
Fuchsia.
Hypericum.
Surfinia.
Soapwort.
Shasta Daisy.
Bergenia.
Nasturtium.
Cape Daisy or Osteospernum.

The days and nights are getting colder but the plants keep putting on a show.

Is your garden flowers still performing?

  1. Our Hebe, Salvia Hotlips and Fuchsia are still doing well but P had to cut back the Osteospermum as he has transplanted it down into the new bed.
    Hopefully it will bounce back bigger and better next season.

  2. I made a lot of new Osteospermums cuttings recently and they are ovdrwintering in the Polytunnel. I lost a lot of mine in 2010. They originate in South Africa and don't like the frost. They are very easy to propagate from cuttings with rooting powder or in a glass of water. Good to read your plants are doing well JayCee.

  4. Ireland is very mild on the Gulf Stream TM. The Fuchsia hedge rows are everywhere it Cork and Kerry. I have also seen them in Cornwall..Fuchsia is named after a German botanist. I don't know how they got here. They are native to Chile. I guess the Spanish brought them or the Gulf Stream?

  6. I noticed a tree beginning to bud the other day Debby. I think the seasons are getting mixed up. I hope the little birds don't think it is spring and start collecting nesting material. The flowers cheer us up. Thanks.

  12. That's a lovely selection of flowers. I thought ours were doing well but yours trump them. I loved seeing fuchsia hedges when we lived in Ireland.
