Comments (36)I have two, and they sometimes die back a bit in winter, but that is most likely due to the voles which are particularly bad in this bed. They should be rock hardy for you. The Ogons are 3 & 4 years old, started from rooted cuttings. The white flowers are early (before the foliage has mostly unfolded) and nice, but not super long lasting. To my eye, the foliage is the main attraction and really sings all season, delicate and bright yellow-green, transitioning to orange tones in fall. Mine is in full sun, and it may be less yellow in less sun. There is a much older one in a garden a couple towns over that has foliage interest, and that one is in morning sun but is shaded by the house by midafternoon. It stays more yellow than the green plants and it's a beautiful fountain of fine-textured foliage all season. I think it's probably 6' or 7' high. I don't think this is a plant that wants a lot of pruning....See MoreShow Us Your Gardens - A photo Thread - October 2017

Comments (9)No flowers here, but berries abound. The big old winterberry has finally lost its leaves and the fruit are more obvious. Here, as viewed from my kitchen window: Ilex opaca 'Goldie' has yellow berries. They don't show well from a distance but look good up close. The two American hollies on the left are about the same height as the winterberry.' That's a blue holly to the right that doesn't have much in the way of fruit - maybe a problem with the male pollinator elsewhere. Ilex crenata has black berries but you'd barely know it if you didn't peer at it. And this morning the sun came up with a bit of a flourish now that the oak and cherry leaves have dropped and no longer hide the bay. The bare branches still make it tricky to focus on the water so the wave motion isn't always in focus. The bay view photo and video are taken from inside the house (I wasn't about to go outside wearing nightclothes). Claire...See MoreShow Us Your Gardens - A Photo Thread - April 2018
Comments (25)Finally I have something to report on besides freezing daytime temperatures, and a kerria and kiwi plant both eaten down to stubs by starving rabbits. What a surprise it was to see that my trout lily bulbs, planted last fall, are up! Daffodils are not yet in bloom but are promising to bloom soon. Also they have spread quite a bit this year. (I like the colors in this perennial bed, filling in for the flowers during the off-season.) First day out for my started seeds (geraniums, cosmos, poppies, and tomatoes) under their "rain table" (because it's raining today). They spend nights on the back enclosed porch. And in the garage, my large pots are planted with marigolds, portulacas, petunias, dwarf snapdragons, coleus, and a "toothache plant" (foliage & flowers have a numbing sensation when chewed). Another gardenweb person once suggested this method of using a garden cart to wheel plants out into the sunshine during the day and back into the warmth of a garage at night in early spring, and I'm forever grateful for the idea. At last it feels like April. So nice to get my hands back into the dirt....See MoreNHBabs z4b-5a NH
