Does anyone know what's wrong with this star jasmine?
Comments (4)I refrained from replying because, though the symptoms appear to be multiple, the root cause (no pun intended) is likely root damage due to extremely high root temperatures. High temperatures alone make it difficult for the plant to take up water & nutrients, which can cause localized necrosis in leaf tissues or entire leaves to die. It also severely weakens plants, making attack by disease and/or pests more likely and a more serious problem. Al...See MoreDoes anyone grow any of these smaller teas?
Comments (13)gardenatlanta, I have these three: Enchantress (or Enchanter) Blooms: small, magenta; they seemed to ball a lot the first year Foliage: exceptionally well foliated - very bushy, typical tea leaves but on the small side, very pretty Thorns: haven't noticed, can't see the canes for the leaves Bloom frequency: last summer (it's first) it seemed almost constantly in bloom Fragrance: don't know, too low to the ground Disease resistance: excellent SIZE: rather small - one year old and about 2' tall and 3-1/2' wide but very healthy General Schablikine Almost a year in the ground here Blooms: kind of irregularly shaped, kind of untypical but I like them, shades of brick red & pink Foliage: well foliated, fairly tall but twiggy not vase-shaped but mine's a year & a half old so has some maturing to do, leaves can get this alligator rippled pattern in them, not on all leaves Thorns: typical for a tea, not huge, not a lot Bloom frequency: blooms in cycles probably 6 weeks apart approximately Fragrance: probably light tea Disease resistance: excellent, old leaves get a few spots and some yellow and drop off SIZE: probably medium - about 4-1/2' tall and 4-1/2' wide now but not yet filled out in all directions La Sylphide Blooms: pink with a sheerness to them; in heat they lighten to pale pink; nodding; very delicate and feminine in character Foliage: normal Thorns: typical Bloom frequency: not sure, not a heavy bloomer in its first year Fragrance: don't know Disease resistance: very good SIZE: on the small side - about 3' tall and 3' wide at 1-1/2 yrs old Sherry...See MoreDoes anyone know of a perenial that would work for me?
Comments (20)Fast growing Clematis in my zone 5 garden have been mainly viticellas. These are group 3 (refers to pruning type in clem-speak) clems and can be cut down to the ground in early spring, since they bloom on new growth. Most of them are not the large flowered ones offered so often in our local nurseries. IMO the smaller flowered ones often fit in the best in perennial gardens. Here are some group 3s that have grown very quickly for me: Betty Corning - (viticella) pale blue-lavender bell shaped blooms. This one blooms almost continuously for me. 12 foot Madame Julia Corevon - (viticella) wine red flowers, great rebloomer, not quite as tall as BC 6-8 ft Etoile Violette - (viticella) deep blue purple flowers, heavy bloomer, great with pale pinks 8-12 ft starts later that the first two then blooms for about 6 weeks for me. Polish Spirit - (usu. listed as viticella) deep purple with hint of red, very vigorous grower, in zone 5 would probably not outgrow an arbor, but might need mid-summer trimming. I use mine along a fence, up the gutter and wall, and across Endless Summer Hydrangea planted in the corner formed by the fence and house wall. Duchess of Albany - a texensis (despite the name it is very hardy here) - pink with red bar, quite a nice saturated color in my full sun conditions, flowers are small upright and tulip shaped, great grower & blooms for at least a month, also some rebloom August/Sept. Blue Angel (Blekitny Aniol) (viticella) - pale blue fading to white in center 4 inch flowers, large flowered for a vit, with a fairly heavy substance. 10-12 foot - planted next to the Duchess for a smashing combo. Sweet Autumn (sometimes listed as paniculata) extremely vigorous grower, masses of half inch creamy white flowers in fall (Sept-Oct) 20 foot - can definitely make a wall if you have a structure for it. I grow 2 of them to make a 40 plus foot privacy fence in an area too small for shrubs (along a concrete walkway and patio area)....See MoreDoes Anyone Use Shade Sails for Plants?
Comments (27)Well, they're not heavy duty umbrellas...which in the case of the way in which I use them, is an advantage anyway. Harbor Freight has them on sale for this price quite often through this time of year. Stop by a HF and get on their mailing list then you'll know when they have them on sale. I bought maybe 20-30 of them and though the ones I have left are now pretty ratty looking, they still have their uses...lol.....See Moremccommas
