Anyone in the DFW area growing begonias?
Comments (2)Sorry it's taken so long to get back with you. I'm only growing two types... one large one in a pot that I sink in the ground outdoors every year and another one that's outdoors year-round. It's doing GREAT by the way! Do you grow them indoors or outdoors? I find them to be a bit finicky, do you?...See MoreAnyone in the DFW area have these inground?
Comments (6)Well its been quite a while since your post and no replies yet so I'll just jump in here. Your plants names all sound like either tender or tropicals so I wouldn't put them in the ground. If you keep them in the garage over winter they should be OK as long as it stays above freezing inside....See MoreIs anyone growing agastache and/or lavender in central OK?
Comments (12)I live near the border of Canadian and Caddo counties. I've grown just one kind of agastache for the past 3 years, and that is 'Tango.' It's a real beauty! I expected it to perform beautifully for me since I have very sandy soil, and it has - looks great every summer. But I've had to purchase new plants each spring to replace the 3 originals because, much to my surprise, it has never overwintered for me. Last year I did have 2 seedlings that popped up after I purchased the replacements. This year, however, I'm finding probably 40 or 50 little babies from seeds dropped last year. I consider that a real goldmine. Maybe I have so many babies this year because of the abnormally high rainfall amounts we've had (?). Well, I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. Just going to enjoy them....See MoreHas anyone in the DFW area grown Limelight or Little Lime hydrangea?
Comments (21)There are so many varieties of panicle hydrangea now, in addition to limelight and little lime. These are an unnamed variety from a grower here in east Texas - they only get about 6 hours of full sun, but they really responded to this cold winter. The flowers age kind of pinkish then dry nicely for arrangments. We've also had good luck with the smooth hydrangeas (h. arborescens) such as Annabelle in similar condition, actually in the same bed - these might be 'Incrediball' - I have to wait till fall to climb in to see the tags. We did plant them on the east side of some taller shrubs (viburnum 'Opening Day' and 'Rosalinda' Indian hawthorn, which is recovering from last winter's freeze) to provide some afternoon relief from the hot sun....See Moreequinecpa
