Now is the time to put out your lacewing shelter. It needs to be full of straw with a special pheromone attractant to persuade the lacewings to overwinter in a lovely home. #Guernsey #LoveGuernsey #Gsy #GuernseyLife #PlantHeritage #PlantHeritageGuernsey

The Nerines have all been cleaned of their dead leaves and are just ready to begin throwing up flower spikes. They will be perfect for our Nerine festival, which runs from Saturday, 7 - Saturday 21 October at Guernsey Gardens. #Guernsey #LoveGuernsey #Gsy #GuernseyLife #PlantHeritage #PlantHeritageGuernsey #Plants #Flowers #nerine

Iberis, which I remember as candytuft, seems to be in flower much earlier this year. #Guernsey #LoveGuernsey #Gsy #GuernseyLife #PlantHeritage #PlantHeritageGuernsey #Plants #Flowers #iberis #candytuft #whiteflowers

Allow your artichokes to seed and the birds will be happy. Are they interested in the seed or the bugs in there? #Guernsey #LoveGuernsey #Gsy #GuernseyLife #PlantHeritage #PlantHeritageGuernsey #Plants #Flowers #artichokeseeds

Solanum, the potato vine, is almost always in flower, but most profusely in Guernsey from early summer to winter. #Guernsey #LoveGuernsey #Gsy #GuernseyLife #PlantHeritage #PlantHeritageGuernsey #Plants #Flowers #solanum #whiteflowers

Fragaria 'Red Ruby', produces no fruit and is grown as a flowering, low growing, ornamental ground cover that spreads by wire-like stolons. #Guernsey #LoveGuernsey #Gsy #GuernseyLife #PlantHeritage #PlantHeritageGuernsey #Plants #Flowers

Have a look for your Haemanthus coccineus, the paintbrush lily. They appear from seemingly nothing, but what a welcome burst of colour at this time of year. #Guernsey #LoveGuernsey #Gsy #GuernseyLife #PlantHeritage #PlantHeritageGuernsey #Plants #Flowers #haemanthuscoccineus

Herbaceous clematis, which flowers later in the year and is very easy to grow.
