Help with basic Clematis care *I hope I didn't mess up*
Comments (10)Janet, not sure what the issue is but DofA is one that is planted up close to the foundation wall and it does very well--a monster in blooms and vines. The general thought is that planting near the foundation is bad because the plant's roots will be under the eaves and won't get enough rain. What I tend to do with plants planted close to the house is to water them well when planted and then begin watering further out from the house from then on out. Plants want to survive so will send roots outwards in many directions searching for where the water is....See MoreBasic hosta care (help a newbie out!)

Comments (5)1a/b. Weeds, obnoxious ones. Name doesn't come to mind. 2. Maybe jasmine 'nudiflorum' (winter jasmine) or some type of horizontal-growing cotoneaster. Both can make, as you say, a tangled mass, but both are well worth growing if you don't mind a little judicious pruning every year or so. 3. Some type of hydrangea 'macrophylla'. Yours looks better than the dozen or so I've managed to kill over the years - I'd say it's a "keeper". The holly seedlings are an all-too-common pest. Pull them early and often, plus they come up in the very worst of places! 4. Some type of azalea? If so I say toss 'em in favor or something else that would appreciate the space. They look to be the cheap, common (Walmart) variety that are overused by landscapers as "foundation plants". 5. Welcome to the Alabama forum! 6. ROOT for Alabama ;-D 7. Consider attending our Fall plant swap. We are meeting in Gadsden this year on the 17th of this month and would love to load you down with plants, especially since you seem new to the area. I never miss the opportunity to shamelessly post a picture from the yard. This one is 'Incense' passionflower. Nelson...See MoreHelp in identification and taking care of the plant
Comments (5)It is a Chrysanthemum and it is essentially sold as a disposable indoor decoration at this time of year. Put it in the coolest, brightest spot you have at home and don't over water it. By the look of it you will be able to enjoy it for a couple of weeks maximum since the basal foliage is already yellowing and almost all the buds are open. In fact, although you might not like this suggestion, given its condition I believe it will last longer if you cut off the stems and treat it as a cut flower in a vase. Strip off any leaves that would be submerged and place the stems in very cold water....See Morerina_Ontario,Canada 5a
