Love song floribunda healthy but NO buds or flowers for 6wks
Comments (5)We really need some pictures to be sure of anything. Pictures of the whole plant, the base of the plant and the canes you are concerned about would help. If it is Dr. Huey there are some things you can do to save it but we need to know for sure that's what's happening....See MoreI'm very happy with my floribundas 1 pic
Comments (13)onederw is correct- the little white daisies are annual paludosum daisies. They only last a few months- pretty good for an annual, and they reseed. Here in the heat of the valley they start to croak by the end of May, and I have to pull them all out. They are very easy-care. Plant and water. Collect flower heads when they are finished, and throw the seed out late next fall and they come up everywhere. Loribee, that grass is volunteer St. Augustine- pretty good stuff if you want to lower your water bill, pretty nasty stuff if you value your flower beds, because it has runners. It goes dormant in the winter so you don't have to water it. As far as rose culture goes, my secret is the Rose Forum. With their help I have chosen roses that are relatively disease-free, so I don't spray. I pull off all of the leaves in January, and use compost for fertilizer in the early spring when they start to leaf out. Anything that gets rust or too much mildew goes into my neighbor's garden, where they are totally neglected and bloom like mad just to get even with me. Patty, as Jenn said the silver plant is Lamb's ears. Another pain-in-the-butt, since they have to be divided just about every year or they get bald spots. Patty, unlike NorCal, we did not have a wet winter here- it was pretty dry compared to last year. Good gawd, have I bored you all to tears yet? Thanks for the compliments, it means a lot to me and justifies the water bill. Renee...See MoreLove color change on my hummel jade in just two weeks..Picture
Comments (7)Very nice, Mike! So, where did you obtain this particular Jade? ;) I am glad to have played even a small part in your Jade addiction! This is one of my favorite Jades, as well. Now that we've had a couple days of warm weather, I'm expecting increased growth. The old leaves are looking ratty, but the new growth is pristine! I'll have to take an updated picture.

Comments (1)From the Exchanges instructions page comes the following: "Trading of patented material is unlawful and is strictly forbidden." Sorry, you'll have to either buy a plant of 'Ebb Tide' or find a non-patented variety to trade cuttings of instead. See link below.
