WANTED: Black eyed Susan & Painted Daisy and/or Shasta Daisy
Comments (4)Hi florabundance, Welcome to Garden Web and The Plant Exchange. You will likely get more offers to trade if you will either list in your post, or better yet, on your Member Trade List, at least some things you have available for trade. hth.

Comments (4)What duluth said. 6 hours of sun is considered full sun. Coral bells (heuchera) can handle an almost complete lack of direct sun. They will bloom and be happy. I have Happy Returns on the east side of a 2-story house -- morning sun only -- now being shaded by a lilac and a fig tree (I really will move the daylilies next spring ... I promise!). My Happy Returns would be happier with more sun, but blooms anyway, off and on all summer. In a couple of years, you'll have three or four times as much. Wonderful plant! [Daylilies don't grow true from seed, so don't let it go to seed unless you like surprises. Even if you do like surprises, it's probably best to start the seeds elsewhere, because if a seed sprouts in the middle of an established clump, you may not like the look of an anemic pink in the middle of the yellow. Some daylily seedlings are not worth keeping.] I haven't grown Pardon Me, but it's the same "everblooming" type. Because of the late planting, mulch everything well so they'll have a better chance of surviving the winter. duluth didn't warn you strongly enough about the artemisia.... Take some very close-up photos and post them on GW's Name That Plant forum http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/namegal/ and see if the experts there can give you a definite ID. Ask if it's a type that needs to be kept under stringent control. If it is, put it in the garbage. If it's the bad kind and you decide to keep it anyway, whatever you do, don't let it go to seed! Round-up will kill most of what spreads by runners. But be prepared for it to take over the yard anyway....See MoreCan I cut back my Shasta Daisy now?
Comments (15)hey searching for buds.. is common to any plant you wish to cut back ... just a simple lesson for a newbie ... there is less fear.. if you can see what you are doing ... past that.. it was just a curiosity as to what the plant is.. because it looks nothing like the shasta daisy's my parents grew in the 60's and 70's .. nor me.. in the 80's and 90's .. that is not to say they havent come up with new versions.. but it is key to learning .. to actually know what plant you have ... link below to my recollection of a shasta daisy .... if you google the term .. that flower is a vast majority of the pix offered.. but there are others ... including some doubles ... google comes up with no pix on Margarita Darling - Darling Shasta Daisy .. and Darling is a dwarf.. which is nothing like yours ... whats that all about. ... at this point its simply a mystery .. but it is still daisy.. and the snipping rules hold ... somewhere back down the line.. your plant started as a seed ... and it is not out of the ordinary.. that you might have some weird mutant.. no matter what the tag says ... enjoy it ... ken Here is a link that might be useful: link...See Morewaht is wrong - Alaska Shasta daisies: big leaves, now flowers?
Comments (1)big leaves, no flowers is a classic sign of one of two things: not enough sun ... or the wrong fertilizer formula ... if you did not over fertilize them with too much nitro [which encourages vegetative green growth] ... then all you are left with is too little sun ... besides.. i guess you already answered that in the last sentence ... i would move them in fall .... unless you just dont care what they look like.. move them now.. though i would expect sunburn/scorch and wilt .. though you could probably hack them back rather severely .... and they PROBABLY will resprout and take off... ken...See MoreNancy RW (zone 7)
