Comments (5)We were in Napa, CA over Thanksgiving weekend and couldn't wait to get back because it was about ten degrees colder there than here in Las Vegas. It was not rainy but it was humid. For our early morning drives through the wonderful downtown victorian and bungalo type houses we had to scrape a lot of frost off our windshields. When we got back here I noticed damage on the peppers and tomatoes so we must have gotten some cold weather here too. I just walked outside this morning though and it doesn't "feel" as cold as it was supposed to get. Thank goodness for plants like perky sue that bloom all year round and never look bad. Oh and the grasses that just look great all winter until I hack them down in the spring. I have an aloe sinkatana that blooms in the winter and it is doing so now and I guess the paperwhites must be thinking it's spring because they have popped up and are starting to bloom. Also the cassias are blooming and I'm wondering if they will keep it up all winter this year. Rebecca I'll bet your sunroom is great to have this time of year. Our little six foot square greenhouse is looking very small and vulnerable right now. I keep putting in gallon bottles of water as fast as the kids can make it through a milk jug to hold the heat but I don't know if it will be enough for those tomato plants we have inside. Bill, our bouganvillea looks great right now too. Fall is when it always looks its best but ends up dying to the ground every winter and having to start all over. Good thing they grow like weeds. Lisa, you may have a longer winter than we do down south but I do envy you those Japanese Maples that you can grow there. They would hate it here.

Comments (2)Hi Carol What a great way to describe how to separate the roots! I have to admit that I am always worried about dividing, getting more plants from one is a good idea. I don't have experience with the variety Xanadu but I tend to think that if you create a warmer micro climate for them, they will survive. As a trial you can always plant one in a pot and when cold you can move it. Good luck with your new plants! Silvia...See MoreComes back year after year - trailing type flower - Is it a Pentunia?

Comments (7)It's a type of Rumex, or dock. A very common weed and one with a deep taproot that must be removed completely to prevent the plant from regenerating. And it does seed freely so avoid letting the plant flower. It will respond to any broadleaf weed killer but that must be used carefully if the weed is intermixed with desirable plants....See Morebabalu_aye
