Can I cut back part of my butterfly bush now?
Comments (8)I'd advise not cutting it back. Just wrap the netting around the Fothergilla and attach to the Buddleia as well. The deer are not going to duck under the Buddleia to get to the fothergilla. They can't see the black netting, and feeling it but not knowing exactly where it is is very unpleasant to them since they can't tell whether they might get caught up in it....See More3-N-1 butterfly bush- blooms only 1 color now
Comments (13)My 3-in-1 stopped blooming in all 3 colors after the 2nd year, and it's been 2 colors ever since, the white being the dominant color and the lilac still shows, but not much. This will be it's 12th year. I wish one of the other colors had been dominant and survived, since I'm not fond of white, but this buddleia is definitely a favorite of the monarchs, bees, and unfortunately, carpenter bees. I tried planting 3 buddleias closely together, to get that similar look of 3-in-1. The One in the center was the dominant one (Sungold), and on each side, a lilac and a Black Knight, both of which remained puny. I have since removed the Sungold, due to a recurring mite problem (which, btw, never affected the purples). Since removal, the lilac has become dominant and now towers the Black Knight. Hope this helps......See MoreWhat do you have blooming for butterflies right now?
Comments (4)Well I can't find my zinnia seeds. : ( I found some from a couple of years ago and if those germinate, I'll have plenty. I should have some volunteers too, but it would be nice if I could find the seeds I bought earlier this year. grrr When you mentioned perennial salvia, you reminded me that I have May Night blooming or seedlings from it at least. I don't think I still have the original plant. I need to watch and see if any hummingbirds/butterflies visit that. I don't think so though. I've seen a couple Monarchs fluttering by but they didn't stop and have seen a few Black Swallowtails. I have never seen a Zebra Swallowtail in my yard. Those are the ones that use Pawpaw as a host plant. I have a five inch tall Pawpaw planted by my fence row now and two more, just as small, in pots that I will plant this fall. I planted two last fall but only one made it through the winter....See MoreOur butterfly is free... now!
Comments (4)First of all, I'm so sorry for your loss. I know what it feels like to lose someone you love more than anything. I know I'll never be the same and I keep everyone who suffers through grief close in my heart. My 57 year old mother died in her sleep sometime after midnight on May 12th, 2005. Since she passed I've had one very realistic dream about her. I think of it as a "visit" but to each his own. Anyway, that's the only dream I remember vividly and when I woke in tears it was 3:20 a.m. I, still to this day, believe that that was the time she passed. Why? No logical reason but I feel it to my very core. So, my answer to your question, is yes...that's probably the time she passed. I never did before, but now I truly belive things like this are signs from our loved ones....See More- 4 years ago
