What looks good in your winter garden?
Comments (7)ENJOY!!! those of you with flowers and evergreen ferns this far into winter! I have some of these plants at our place here in Raleigh, but our real home is a cabin near the Blue Ridge. Summers are lovely, but winter has fluctuating temps and often cold dry wind. Coorscat. Looks like we are both "part-timers". Yes, we have hemlocks. We just have to give them a soil drench to protect them from the wooly adelgid. It lasts at least three years. I got it at Lowe's last time, but they don't carry it any more, so I need to find a new source. As for the Camelias, I have not tried them. I see that some are hardy to zone 6, but I am not sure if their buds would be killed by the fluctuating warm-ups followed by hard freezes. I have a Kousa Dogwood that is otherwise healthy, but it's blooms are killed every year before they can open. My guess is that would happen to a camelia....See MoreWhat;s in bloom in your garden, week of March 20th?
Comments (14)Hello all, nice to be back. With all the activity going around, I guess I should also launch the other thread of "What happened in your garden this week". I'll start it on Monday. I am still doing my spring cleaning, or should I say.... my fall cleaning. But it's going well, I still have the upper hand on my garden! I haven't seen my iris reticulata yet, which is a bit of a surprise. Things are warming up very slowly, I guess it's the same for all of us. I hope no one ate them.... and my rose "Marechal Niel" is also in bloom but that's inside, so of course it's cheating...

Comments (23)Molie E. 'Nothowlee' is promoted as a winter container plant perhaps because of its tendency to look ratty...yes really ratty in the spring due to loss of most of its leaves. I had three 12"h x8"w plants and last spring purely on impulse I ripped one out and decided to leave the other two in place and watch what they would do. They came slowly back and to me were well worth it, but keep in mind that my spring season is likely much colder than yours so this plant may in fact come back to life faster for you. When I mentioned planting in a mass of a half a dozen I was picturing them specifically in dtd's back garden bordering her patio. This is a small front of the border plant that looks stunning 3/4's of the year with bold coloring that companioned with the right plant..I have another PDN plant near by it "Kniphofia pumila" and I will have to poke through some photos to see what else. Holly Molely I just saw the photo of E. ÂNothowlee on PDN and I must say mine is MUCH more subdued (and much nicer IMHO) than the plant shown on line. Dtd, I have another evergreen Euphorbia that I picked up from Avant Gardens a few years ago it pretty non descript but if youÂre interested I put a chunk aside for you. FYI it has not taken over like some EuphorbiaÂs do. babs, Trust me be thankful for that blanket of snow it covers a multitude of sins (just like an over sized tee shirt), honestly if you didn't have the snow you could be looking at mud, piles of black plastic nursery pots, crushed and rotten plants, and all of the sad items you ment to bring inside but never did....See MoreJuly 10 - what is blooming and drawing interest in your garden
Comments (23)It says in the plant description that this plant can be propagated by division and that it is a particular variety called a interspecific hybrid. This is my first year growing this particular variety. My guess is any seed produced would, if viable, revert to a more common blanket flower. In the past, I've grown the variety, Goblin, and because I deadhead regularly, I don't even know if that variety produced seed. Being away from home all last season, I lost all of my blanket flowers so am starting fresh this year with this one. It is even stockier than Goblin so I think will be very good for my area.
