Off to the garden center ourselves this morning. Bought six plants a couple of weeks ago (argyranthemum) five have died and one is flourishing! All planted in same compost, no sign of pests, just started to turn yellow then leaves and flowers shrivelled! Planted in different areas in the garden including two in tubs ( the survivor was in one of the tubs).. mystery! Usually very good plants from there.
 
Sounds like they’ve been over-watered at the garden centre and you got lucky with one survivor. Too much water causes Marguerites to be prone to root rot causing the yellow leaves etc.
 
We're off to Barnstaple this morning, then hibernate for a fortnight, cos the kids finish school this weekend :eek:
 
All we can manage here is some half-hearted drizzle but it's still the first rain we've seen in weeks. Yay! No watering the tubs tonight (y)
I've only just replaced all the stuff on the patio that died in the heatwave last year when I was away in Germany for 7 weeks. My very laid back and impossible-to-rile son is still mortified... it's hilarious to see and worth every lost leaf :ROFLMAO:
 
Anyone want a (bliddy heavy) 1960s steel bath in a delicate shade of pink? :eek:
Just oiked it out, with the help of my work experience lass, now ready for a brew :coffee:
