New Zealand, New Day or New Year?
Comments (17)I am a newbie so not much help, but I did grow New Day last year and LOVED it. It looks like it made it through the winter with some die back but I did not winter protect at all (with last year being my first year I just kind of wanted to see what would happen and what would survive, I do plan to winter protect this year) Here are two New Day blooms in a bouquet with Double Delight, Headliner, and a few other soft pinks (probably Bewitched) and Lady X. If New Day had not made it through the winter I would definitely be replacing it because of the few yellows I planted last year this one was the prettiest with beautifully shaped blooms. I am no help with New Zealand, just looked it up on hmf because of all of the praise in this post, it does look like a nice soft baby pink and I would love to add it at some point. You'll have to keep us posted how it turns out if you decide on that one. New Year has always looked pretty to me on hmf, I bought one last year but it was mislabeled. I just bought one this year so hopefully I can give it a go. Never thought I would enjoy those oranges as much as I did last year since I'm a soft colors fan, but I really wanted to give New Year a go and couldn't pass it up when I saw it last week in one of those bagged pots. We'll see. Thanks for your suggestion to not dig up stuff so early in that other post about SPing. I had no idea that some could show life as last as June, and that if it did come back I could replant deeper. I thought it was done when that bud union went through one of our winters above ground! Fortunately I only pulled out a few that showed no life but the rest I'm iffy on I will leave in and let spring work its magic....See MoreUPDATE: mnf jan 2010 swap - new beginnings part 2

Comments (1)Winter is a good time to do the actual landscape planning. You should be able to plant after February 1st, unless it's tropics; then wait for March 1st so the soil will be warmer....See MoreYard Update 4/16/2010
Comments (35)Frank: There is always something in bloom at my house. The spring and summer seasons find the most blooming/fruiting plants/trees. I have tried stone fruits (peaches, plums and nectarines) and gave up on them because of insufficient chill hours in the past. This year we had plenty of hours of chill, but the only thing I have left are two somewhat stunted Hood Pear trees. They bloom sporadically but have never set any fruit. Harry...See Moreronald123
