Comments (9)I'll cast another vote in favor of gaillardia. I planted Mesa Yellow last year and it was still blooming when the October snowstorm hit. That was the end of it blooming but I'm guessing that may be only due to the fact a huge oak tree limb came crashing down smack on it. It's showing signs of new growth this year despite what the storm did to it. A shorter one is Golden Goblin altho' the one I bought grew as tall as the species. I'm guessing it had the wrong tag in the pot. Q for campanula - don't osteospermums have a short bloom period?

Comments (10)Hi Chuy! I've only ever had one incident of repeated infestation and I pruned that mother in the middle of winter to stop it once and for all. I cut about a centimeter off of all the tips that had leaves. Then I sprayed it with a strong alcohol solution. I then left it alone, isolated from other plants. How often do you water your plant? In zone 7, planted in gritty mix, I water my plants every two to 3 days if it doesn't rain. If that was my plant, I would dig it out and check the roots. Then wash it well and the potting mix also. Then repot. Pagan...See MorePlease help a newbie with 'non-stop' begonia?
Comments (2)they stop blooming when temps get to 80F-85F during the day. perhaps your soil temps are still too low? i found that when they are small it takes them some time to start growing well. they need 65f-70F soil temps to grow well. i think it's easier to grow them in pots to good size before you plant them out. but then in summer they prefer cooler temps, especially at night. 60-65f nite and 70-75F day is best. mine just started dropping all flowers when it got hot . when it got cooler in the fall - then they bloomed again and kept going until it was low 40s at nite. they also set tubers quite nicely: about 1"-1.5". So i kept tubers in pots in soil indoors over winter and then started them up again. they should get much larger when they have tubers. most starter plants that are sold in spring are grown from cuttings and do not have tubers at all. they need sev months of cooler temps (below 62F) to initiate tubers. most people do not bother to overwinter them (in pots in cool temps, but above 40F). but i thought why not try as an experiment? it was quite easy too. very similar to caladiums. however, they can rot very easily if kept cold and damp outdoors in the soil. what are your winter conditions like? and by the way, mine bloomed rather well in the fall without any direct sun on NE balcony - very bright light, but not a ray of sun.

Comments (6)I would recommend a redbud tree. They are SO beautiful, and no fruit to pick up. With the serviceberry, though, the fruits are small and indeed eaten by birds so those work well, too, although they aren't as pretty. How big do you want the tree to grow to in the end? Lilacs get pretty big and are almost tree size eventually. We have a magnolia tree that has gorgeous blooms in the spring, I am in SE WI, so it is something hardy up here. I've had flowering crab, also gorgeous, if you can find one that doesn't have fruit somehow. I would say off the top of my head that the landscaping company might rip you off, probably cheaper to just find a local nursery and pay them to plant the tree than have a middleman.
