If the temps are low, the female flowers don't appear. They wait for it to warm up slightly.

I'm often moving perennials around my garden, and Delphs are amongst the list of things i have moved. I always wait until it's mostly died back, or mark the spot and dig it up in early spring and move. I certainly wouldn't do it just yet as mine are still growing away, and the top growth is feeding the root system to get it through the winter.

'Pruning' Eryngiums is only removing the flowering stems, They will possibly regrow to be the same size. being a perennial and not a shrub it isn't feasible to prune to make grow smaller. I have several clumps of perennials and a blue star included. that have grown much taller this year. I personally think it is due to the lower than usual light levels and they are reaching up to get to any light. I have had 6' lychnis Maltese cross and a couple of my Monarda are well over 5'

Without a pic I can only assume yours is doing the same as mine, dying off for the winter. We have been into Autumn in our garden for about a month.

I can only help you with a couple of queries, I have Phyllostachys aurea and nigra. Both have formed nice plants, they don't mind the lack of sun. They can be quite thick though, So as you say they can be thinned, but I also remove the leafy growth up the stems to about a height of 6' thus allowing a view between the culms. i do this late spring.

We have a hedge of L.nitida down our drive, we took cuttings.They are ever so easy to take. We just put loads of cutting all shapes and sizes in soil. Most took. We now have another hedge 60' long and my 45' sq maze, which took about 1100 plants. With a variety of topiaries dotted about. They don't need any special care or treatment, Nor does under cover make any difference to those bunged in outdoors.

I have an old machine that has done more miles than the average family car. It's 12 yrs old and has never let me down. We work together whatever the conditions except snow. But it is getting very tired and I thought about buying a new one. I was hoping that someone on here had bought one. I have looked at newer model and noticed that the opening at the rear for the clippings exit and the bag were both smaller than I am used to. Does the newer version clog up easily with wet grass?

i tend to deal with the troublesome weeds around plants but cutting the bottom off a large milk container and spraying into the neck of the bottle, therefore reducing the wind problem and accidentally spraying the foliage of plants near by. With ground elder it will need 2 or 3 doses of the domestic glysophate through the growing season or roundup as it is called.
