Can't identify that mould? Got a great tip for keeping slugs at bay? Suggestions for organic weed control? Post them here...

We get bothered a lot by cats eating our wild birds .I'd like to grow some of the scardy cat plants,coleus canina but can only find them in plant form.Does anyone know where I can get seeds from?

Dear pwlynch, i think these plants are mostly propagated by cuttings, so this is probably why you are struggling to find any seed.

Sorry to be of little help.
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

I've tried one of these plants, my overriding memory is of my cat having a "toilet" right next to it, in a raised bed :roll: so I wouldn't get your hopes up too much.
