creme brulee vs. full moon coreoopsis

14 years ago

which one do you prefer more. I'm thinking about planting one of these with my "rozanne" geranium. Problem is.....I don't know much about these plants.

I just planted 'Full Moon' this year, and it is only beginning to bloom now. I grew 'Creme Brulee' years ago and was not impressed.

Karen, Thank you for helping me look! I'm looking it up right now, and... argh! It is so close! 'Elizabeth Francis Woodall' has black tips on the stamens while mine seem a brownish/orange and a EFW has a very light yellow edging to the ruffles. The rest of the coloring is dead on. Going to check out 'Broadway Pink Slippers' and... that is much pinker than mine. Thank you for the name of that daylily nursery. I'll keep looking through their dl's. What a great assortment! Alana, I love baby shops. When Gymboree opened here I was having a blast picking up little outfits for my daughter and niece. Love that girly stuff. I hope things go quickly for you in Dayhoit. Never heard of it either. Thanks be for Google, eh? It has helped me get in and out of places that were too small for most gas station maps. Hurry home and keep an eye on these thieves. Hey Vic! We have rentals here in Cleveland and Lakewood. One is our old house that we used to live in. The guys are usually late with the check and it takes a phone call or two. Once they switched to new cell phones and I did have to drive over there. Nothing like me showing up with a van full of kids to make them want to get that check there a little quicker. Want me to drive to Michigan. Shouldn't be more than a couple hours. I'll threaten them with having to babysit. That might do it. I'm sorry about what happened with Jamie's job. Ed's customers are pretty slow paying right now. I told him he better start getting some money up front. It drives me crazy when he floats the cost of materials and they take forever to pay him at the end of the job. He is finally starting to listen to me about it. Deb, I think no one wants the game to end. They all know it's over when your box gets grabbed. LOL! Does the garage sale start tomorrow? I hope you have a great turn out and the weather stays beautiful for it. Sweet Dreams! Nighty night Sassy, sweet dreams to you too.

Here are a couple of photos of the burner under my 6" 1.5qt saucepan, the smallest I have. The flame on high and is obviously too high. But this is as bad as it gets on this pot. There are sealed burners out there that put out less BTU and are worse when it comes to engulfing the pot. This is with the knob at 50%. The outer flame curls inward then straight up to the bottom of the pot before curling back out from hitting the pot. This is enough to get the job done. This is anything but engulfing. Anyway, back to the oven. I think the main issue that most people have with the rolling racks on the self clean is that they are different. At first I disliked them too. But over the 10 months I've had to use them, I've realized that they're actually pretty good. Certainly not wimpy, but definitely unconventional. I use the rotisserie a lot, so I'm constantly handling the racks. It's gotten to the point where I can easily remove the rack with one hand. I still have to use two hands to put them back in, but I'm so used to it that it's not trouble at all. Here's a quick video, literally. http://youtu.be/LmiV1NCmLSs The other other thing that bugged me at first was that they only glide out half way. But then it occurred to me that in 10 months I have yet to have any pan juices slosh onto the oven door, floor or me from the rack. Since these racks only come out half way, they stay level. When I had the conventional racks in my old oven that came out 3/4 of the way, the rack always sagged outward from the weight of the pan. I've had hot oil and pan juices slosh on to me. I also don't miss the high pitch noise of metal on metal. Over all, I'd say these racks are no better and no worse than ball bearing glides. Just different. But they are certainly better than conventional metal on metal racks. For the rack position under the broiler, I use one of the top two positions. If I'm just using a sizzle platter, then I use the top rack position. If I'm using the included broiling pan and rack, it's usually the second position. Overall, I think the oven does a fine job. I've had no issues with it. Here is a link that might be useful: Removing rolling rack with one hand.

Hi Carol, I didn't reduce the time - but my previous attempts always seemed to be slightly "under-baked" ie: - not as brown. I will also add for those who are going to try - you angle the scissors way down low, and cut so very close to the whole way through the loaf - otherwise you end up with even more "lumpy" than mine were! And use lots and lots of flour in the prep of those "baguettes" and stretch them out gently.. Scott enjoyed watching me make them ;-) Stacy

I grow both and these plants are really not interchangeable in my opinion. C. 'Creme Brulee' is a low to ground plant for the front of the border. C.' Full Moon' is about 18" tall, for the mid-border, and looks more "meadowy" (if that makes sense). C. 'Full Moon' also starts blooming a little later than 'Creme Brulee'. They are both a nice clear yellow. This is my first year with C. 'Full Moon' so I don't really know how it will overwinter, but I expect it to overwinter just fine. I grow it's sister plant 'Redshift' from the same breeding program and really prefer it. It's less blowsy than 'Full Moon' and a nice butter yellow with rosy red markings around the eye.

Spazzycat, is the color of "Creme Brulee'" and "Full Moon" basically the same?

Both plants have different growing habits/heights.

Creme Brulee is small about 10" to 18" had it about 5 years.

Full Moon, 3rd year, is now 4ft x 3ft hefty plant...not for the front border but good for middle. This one stands upright with full sun and can take wind.

Both are medium to light yellow....Full Moon is lighter.
Full Moon is my choice over Creme Brulee but it depends on what your looking for. Always read the mature height of each plant purchased.

Here's a photo of our Creme Brulee from this season:

{{gwi:255831}}

I like Creme Brulee a lot, but have never grown "Full Moon". The Creme Brulee does work well at the front of the border of our south-facing garden bed. It gets well over six hours of sun a day. It has been blooming many weeks now and still going strong in Zone 6. It seems to be fairly drought-tolerant.

Wondering about growing a Geranium and a Coreopsis together? What is the sun level like in your "Rozanne" geranium bed, and is the soil moist? The reason I'm wondering is...I've heard Coreopsis can develop crown rot if it's in soil that's too moist, so am just wondering about combining the Coreopsis and the Geranium in the same bed...

We have "Jolly Bee" geranium, and Geranium cantabrigiense "Biokovo", but they are growing in a different bed from the Coreopsis, and they get shade in the afternoon. I actually had to transplant these geraniums because they were getting a little fried in the south-facing bed. They're in an east-facing bed now, that is more moist, and are doing very well.

I've never grown "Rozanne" geranium...does anyone know if it's similar as far as what kind of conditions it likes or have thoughts about a geranium/coreopsis combo as far as sun & moisture levels? Would a Rudbeckia be a better choice?

well I just bought 3 "full moon" coreopsis and planted then in with my "rozanne". Its to early to tell how they will look together since there are only a few flowers and mostly buds on the C. "full moon", but I think it will look stunning when both are in full bloom. I will post picures shortly when a few more flowers come up on the C."full moon"

Topie- my rozanne and full moon are in full sun. my soil is not that moist in the bed. I would recommend tou combine your "jolly bee" with your "creme brulee" it will look stunning!

This thread has been very interesting to me. I just got three small Creme Brulee this year, and thought they were just floppy and that's why they weren't standing tall. It's good to know that they just have a lower habit. I'm glad I saw this so I can site them accordingly!
