I bought the b&m hibiscus too. I think it should be doing something by now. I still have a twig!


ETA: Just had a thought - what if B&M were actually selling sticks posing as hibiscus for £1.99 - they'd have made a killing!

Ive planted a wilkos geranium in with my twig just so i dont look completely mad to the neighbours when i hopefully water my twig:eek::rotfl:
I refuse to give up hope though:o

I've had a blackcurrant from them that has got some kind of disease. It's not got fruit on it and it looks v poorly. The gooseberry is OK though, the raspberry bit the dust. I can't grow them for love nor money.

Blueberries... Suttons are doing a giveaway at the mo with Garden Answers and the free veg magazine you got with it. You need to quote GA311 at them when you order and you get one for the £3.95 p&p. It'll be small but with some tlc and the ericacious compost it should be OK.

Any sign of life yet or are you still watering a stick?
Mine isn't doing anything!

I bought 6 blueberrys a year or two ago which when potted up were just sticks with minimal roots, despite TLC they all went to the big compost heap in the sky.

mine were different. I bought them last autumn and they are now 3 foot tall. £6 for two. I think like all plants its hit and miss. Their bilberries for example are struggling. Plus the two pear trees I bought, again £6 for 2, are doing great.
