I bought some hanging baskets in May but all the flowers are more or less dead now as I didn’t water them enough. What sort of flowers can I put in them now that will last a while?

Where can I see what flowers / plants flower at different times of the year?

I have a peace lily (indoor) that I split in the spring. It’s healthy but has not flowered this year. Why?

I split the original plant last spring by simply cutting it in half and repotting into new soil/compost. The two plants are both healthy and continually send out new leaves, but neither has flowered this year. What can I do to help them flower?

I have a Fathead lavender which was lovely until this year when it became leggy and spindly. I don’t know how to care for it. Should it be cut right back? I don’t want to kill it or prevent it flowering next year.

Will my Narcissus still flower next year as I have cut the stalks & leaves when I should not have done so?

They flowered beautifully in the summer & I would like them to self seed & come back next year. But they are brown and dying off, can I cut them down to the ground without killing them?
