coleus canina/scardy cat plants

[MKPoshfan]

can anyone tell me where to get these? I've not bought any for a few years as I've been had some health problems and not been up to doing much gardening, but this year will be different. Thompson and Morgan don't seem to sell them any more

[Elaine]

You can usually get them at garden centres. I bought my brother one but he wasn't impressed...a cat left it's "calling card" right next to it!

Same with me, then I left it in the garden during the winter and it died.
I do not usually kill plants but did not know much about this one at the time.

[MKPoshfan]

rather surprised by your brother's experience, Elaine; it worked brilliantly for me

[Elaine]

Ello MKposhfan. Mmm so was I. Have heard good reports myself. Maybe the moggies living near my brother are making a point-the equivalent to human protest marches???? cheers, Elaine.

we lived in a house with a wrought iron gate between the garage and the back garden and the local cats treated the garage as home from home - till I planted one of these next to the gate

[Diane]

They didn't work for me - I had some in pots next to my aviary but the cats just went to sleep amongst them.

Dear MKPoshfan, Posh are now only 1 point behind the Dons then.
