Interesting how you decided to split the bought plant.
This year, Ive made a decision to do exactly what you have done here.
I'm fed up buying plants, planting them out, and losing them. I shudder to think the total cost of the plants Ive bought, and have disappeared/been devoured/been lost overwintering.
The plan?
Unless it REALLY reliable, to NOT plant out until I have a "backup".
I bought a lot of plants this year as plug plants (no time to grow from seed).
The majority, to quote your comments, were mollusc food
I nurtured them patiently, then planted them out. Within a week of planting, many were destroyed.
I managed to save the majority, by putting down slug pellets, but I'm so upset at the nice ones I lost
Ive a few "backups" already e.g. Campanula carpatica (love them ALL). I have them growing them in containers.
The observation applies. If slugs eat it, its a good-un.
By that law, Santa Fe
TM is worth a go! Thanks Eric.
