'Emerald Frost!' What a smell!! :)

15 years ago

Opened the door to the greenroom this morning & almost got floored! What a smell! Sweet scent of baby-powder! lol! Best way I can describe it! If you don't have one - get her! You won't be sorry! :)

cimicifuga - what does it smell like
Q

I have Cimicifuga 'Brunette' and I guess a really different sense of smell from everyone else who has posted. ;>) I love the plant, but I find the scent of the foliage when I brush against it unpleasant. I am not sure about the flower scent, since it's at the back of the garden and by the time I've climbed back there, I've brushed against some of the foliage and that's all I can smell. I have noticed that my flowers are loaded with insects, though, rather like my lavender. I think you are safe as long as you don't plant it where your inlaws may brush against it. What a lovely gift for them!

Japanese Snowbell 'Emerald Pagoda'

I wish this thread had been around when I was trying to decide on a tree. I planted Emerald Pagoda in fall of '06, so it has now gone through two of our winters. We had weather as cold as -10, and the tree survived, but it looks really bad this year. Both springs it had random dead branches, as mentioned above, and it also got nipped by a late frost. This year, it rebudded and even put out flowers, but the leaves are puny except at the top of the tree and some of the larger branches. We have had little rain and I probably should have watered sooner than I did. I've given it two long soakings. Am wondering if there's anything else I can do to baby it along. Is anybody else trying to grow this as far north as I am? I notice most of you are in the mid-south. If so, what do you recommend?

Thanks. I love my other variegated brugs but it's nice to finally have one that's not peach or white.

Very nice. It looks like a big bloom. I wish that you hadn't told me about the baby powder scent. That's the one brug fragrance that I don't care for but with variegated foliage and a pink bloom I just might have to get over it. lol

What I especially like is the pink edging on an otherwise light flower. Does it stay that way?

Mike, if you haven't already, can you post some photos of your greenhouse? Did you build it? How is it heated, etc., etc.
