First clematis blooms for this year
Comments (4)Thanks for your comments. I did as recommended on this forum...the first couple of years prune them to get more vines. I fertilize the clematis (along with all my flowers/bushes) in February with 10-10-10 or 8-8-8. Then I try to get them fertilized again after they bloom. Sometimes I am a little late on this on!!! But I can say that following the recommendations that I learned on this forum has helped! Watering is also important. I do add pinestraw around mine to help conserve moisture....See MoreFirst Daylily Bloom; First Clematis Bloom
Comments (12)Judy, you know full well that you are among fellow addicts when it comes to buying plants. And I so love the English roses...just be sure to give them plenty of room. They will need it. Vel, it is a record for me, that is for sure. It was one I got in the fall from Bill Maryott, but no way was able to resist taking pictures of those three together. Thanks Cindy, all of my early clematis are covered in buds. They are hapopy with the strange weather. Rebecca is a true red in my garden...same color as my monitor, and the blooms are large. It is close to my favorite...then I see another one and oh I love that one. You know how it is. Thany you Linda. As I've already said, I love Rebecca! kay...See MoreA Scape, First Clematis and Iris Bloom & Some Lupines
Comments (14)maryl- I wonder if the texas bluebonnets would grow here. They sure are pretty. Kay- My TB iris season has begon. Its great to go out and look for new blooms each day. I have seen the pictures at Schreiners with the Iris and Lupines also and I don't know how they manage. My iris would rot if I tried that! Cundy, I am sure you could squeeze in another Lupine or two. If space is an issue, I have noticed from looking at potted plants side by side the the Russel Lupine plants are generally larger than the Gallery Lupines that I have. nat- I had only mixed sucess with my lupines from last year. So of course I tried again. I think its worth it because they are so pretty. Nancy and Jay, thank you for your kind comments. You all know I love to show pictures of my garden....See MoreMy first 2016 bloom!
