The bright colours of polyanthus bloom has always reliably decorated our garden in winter each year. Since our polyanthus plants has been well-established in our garden at the moment, it bloom much earlier than previous year. This year polyanthus has started to bloom early July. Polyanthus grows very well in shade.
This year to add more brilliant colours in winter, last early April I tried to propagate new polyanthus plants by division from several old plants from last year that look a bit bushy. For example, this is one of the plants that I chose to give us more plants.
Made several division from that plant.
All of it survive, grow and are flowering at the moment.
Although it blooms later than well-established plants in our garden.
Have a nice weekend!

They are very pretty flowers and it's always nice when you can get additional ones by dividing.

Hmmm...no wonder Tom loves your garden. Do you have hydrangea in your garden? purrrr *giggles*
These are beautiful!!
How timely! I planted polyanthus for the first time this year and I was wondering, just yesterday, if they were annual or perennial....my question is answered. Thankyou.
They are beautiful plants - do you let them self seed too?
That's a great idea. They must be completely worth the effort.
Your collage and flowers are gorgeous!
The colors are lovely!
I admire your 'green thumb.' :)

You are right, the flowers are bright and beautiful! Hope they bring you some winter cheer. I love your collage.
Ooh, so nice colors...
Cantek nye bunga ni...berbagai warna yang segar dan menarik!
I am new to flower growing - these look great. I'll remember them to give them a try I think. Good to know they grow in shade.
They are gorgeous. Good to hear they grow well in the shade. I have no garden at the moment and a shady balcony, so might give these a try :)

Cat-from-Sydney~We don't have hydrangea in our garden. Tom seems to be hiding himself these days.
Linda Makiej~ They light up the garden.
Hazel~The first year growing them, I thought they were annuals and chuck them in the compost. Opppsss.....so the second year I make sure I keep them ;-).

veggiegobbler~They do not need that much TLC. One of the easiest flower to grow. The bright colours made winter a bit bearable in the garden.
Shaz~They are not fussy flower. You don't need deep pots and it tolerates shade readily. Plant them end summer or early fall.
Really pretty - I like the color of the top center one.
