Nellie R Stevens Question
Comments (1)Newly planted woody plants do not benefit from fertilizer. Your intuitions are correct. As a matter of fact, the general rule is that they may not need any supplemental fertilization for a year or more. (In some cases, never!) I very much like Hollytone as a fertilizer, and I would certainly use it when it comes time. It is great for ALL iron loving plants. With its very low nitrogen content and miner elements, it offers a more balanced mineral source for plants than most packaged fertilizers. Nellie is a great plant....hope you have them plenty of room to grow!...See MoreNellie R. Stevens dying...
Comments (0)I have 5 Nellie R.'s & at least 2 are dying. I pruned off the dead branches, leaving some living parts. Some of the living leaves are yellow. The 2 which are dying are side by side. These are about 6 yr. old & seemed to be healthy. They died over winter. Any ideas what could be causing this?...See MoreNellie R. Stevens Spacing
Comments (1)I trust your plants are well planted by now....See MoreNellie R Stevens holly with roses?
Comments (7)What roses are they? I ask because I have seen this combo looking rather good but it was very large shrub roses (Alba semi-plena) planted with equally large English holly( Ilex aquilfolium, possibly Silver Queen) and very deep green Japanese holly, Ilex crenata.....as part of a huge boundary hedge.....it was an extraordinary sight at all times in the year but had nothing of the formality of some rose/evergreen combinations. Planting wise, they enjoy similar conditions so I see no problems regarding maintenance requirements (apart from the prickly ones). As a rule though, unless your roses are the same colour, adding variagation to the mix can be a bit eye-achy.....so a plain holly might be more serene and harmonious in a mixed rose bed.....but obvs, ymmv....See Moreken_adrian Adrian MI cold Z5
