Question

SERIOUS answers only please

Answer 1

This is a unique plant to the world, it was discovered by the British in India in 1882, when they found that its exceptionally large, multi-coloured, retractable flower heads were perfect to protect the lily like complexion of the Raj European ladies from the colonial sun. Since imported in huge numbers all over the globe they are mainly used as a patio plant. botanists are are still out as to its proper name. Transplantation is quite easy, just secure it in a container filled with sand or even water, no need for further irrigation or feeding. Does not like wind or rain and will stand quite happily for months in summer, in the garden shed.

Hauteur: 30cm
Emplacement: Ensoleillé

Entretien: Facile
Désignation

Extremely compact with the first ever FULLY DOUBLE flowers in a full range of positive colours. Bred at 4000-6000ft developed to withstand all summer temperature extremes.
Semis

Sow March to May, in trays, pots, etc of good seed compost in a propagator or warm place to maintain an optimum temperature of 75-80F (25-27C). SOWING DEPTH - 1/16 Inch (1.5mm). Sow seeds individually in 3in (7.5cm) pots of free draining compost as they do not transplant well. It is important to keep the soil temperature uniformly warm and do not allow the compost to become over wet.
Culture

Harden off and plant out, when all risk of frost has passed, 30cm (12in) apart.
Entretien

Prefers a rich, light, well drained soil in full sun.

Answer 3

Stychius umbeliflorus. Quite tender so needs a sheltered spot or you will lose the flower head over next doors fence. Comes in many colours though the plaid effect is quite rare. keep indoors over winter (needs very little attention) bring out in may but be careful- this plant does not like the wet summers.
Propagate using B&Q chequecard and live happily ever after.

Answer 4

Umbiols arisilous. A splendid shrub. Put it in water and soak well for an hour. You will need to buy rooting compost or you can use well drained sandy soil. Plant about 6 inches into the soil and place in partial shade. You might be lucky and get flowers in June, but do not prune. They don't like it.

Answer 5

You are referring to one of the umrelliferae - Easy to transplant but need a sunny situation. Lift gently with minimum of soil.
