2nd year - what do I need to do
Comments (2)These three varieties should be fairly self-sufficient if you are in the East with reasonable rainfall (good choices!). However, for maximum growth and bloom, you should mulch, fertilize and water regularly. Rose Tone is excellent, say 3 applications of 1 cup each, under the mulch. Or if you are scrimping, cheap 10-10-10, a handful every 6 weeks. This kind can be watered through the mulch. I water around 2 gallons whenever the soil is slightly dry under the mulch--this could be twice a week if the soil is sandy or during hot, sunny weather. Established roses can endure substantial drought, but they stop growing and blooming. I'm glad to hear your roses are doing well.

Comments (4)I think that blooming can be very stressful, for a plumeria with no roots. I had one (Confetti) that bloomed with very few roots, this past spring. The first few flowers were normal size, then the rest started opening much smaller. I felt that it was working too hard, so I cut the inflo off. I guess the flowering takes more energy then the plant can provide. I've heard that some will die, after that first rootless flowering. Anyway... it does sound like you have taken good, sound steps to get the roots started. Heat at the roots is key. Just give it one watering at potting time, and don't give in to the temptation to water it again until it has put out a few full leaves. If it starts to get cold by that window, you may need to get a heat mat. Good luck, Bob...See Moremy 2nd year American Wisteria has ONE flower bud so far...
Comments (5)I have the feeling that you cut off the bloom possibilities when you cut it down last fall. The blooms on the native wisteria I have come from the places where there were leaves last year (I hope that makes sense), so if you cut off almost all of the branches/growth with leaves, there will be no blooms. Mine does throw out blooms a couple more times over the summer; not as huge a display as in the spring, but still, blooms are blooms. I'm sorry that you had to cut it down to save it, but it will make it up to you next year....See MoreHelp Id plant, or plants, 2nd try, told could be asters or Campanula
Comments (5)Yeah, I would tend to agree. That is something I did grow in my last garden, Solidago rugosa "fireworks" and before I posted I decided that it was developing to look very much like that was. I think that your suggestion is correct, going with my gut feeling. I was hoping for Campanula persicifolia, but didn't see that happening the past few weeks since my original post. I didn't mind my goldenrod, actually. I grew it with very tall dahlias, red ones with a gold eye, of which I don't know the name of, and they bloomed together and looked nice. I had more space then, but did bring my dahlias with me. They are sadly unplanted, but perhaps this is a push to find a place for them on the other side of the yard and I can move the suspected goldenrod out from where I don't want them and plant them all together and see what becomes of these suspects! :-) Thanks for the post, atlamol!...See MoreRelated Professionals
