The last plant to flower for you?
Comments (59)My new Salvia guaranitica 'Purple Majesty' has finally bloomed! Reportedly a late summer bloomer & used to feed hummingbirds during fall migration, hardy in about zones 7-10. Mine is very late to bloom because it was a new plant that came in a 2.5 inch pot at the end of July. Bought directly from Rich Dufresne, the well known hybridizer called the 'Sultan of Salvias.' My first time to buy directly from Rich and a very positive experience. I liked the $5 plants in 2.5 inch pots with roots bigger than plants from other nurseries. And he helped me find the right perennial salvia guaraniticas for my zone and for a certain area, Purple Majesty and Van Remsen, both famous as hummingbird magnets - I'm hopeful! ÃÂ Purple Majesty, 11/4/12 (avg first frost date here 11/20/12): Here is a link that might be useful: Rich Dufresne's World of Salvias website...See MoreSuitable potting mix for a Parade rose?
Comments (2)I would grow them outside. Roses are not house plants. They can easily handle temperatures down to -7C. Poulsen roses are from Denmark and can take some cold weather. Would it help to wash the peat off the roots - or just let the surplus fall away and leave the embedded roots alone for now? Yes just let the surplus fall away. Any good quality potting mix will be fine. Make the pot big enough for the root system to expand a bit. Too large and the roots will drown. Those little Poulson roses are really tough--though some are much better than others in the garden. My neighbor has an apricot one that has grown to over 1 meter and blooms continuously. The striped ones don't seem to do nearly as well....See MoreLast minute gift for the person who has everything
