Does anyone grow Peggy Martin in Zones 4/5?
Comments (13)I have several Peggy Martins in Zone 5b, central Illinois. They have done well over winter even with temperatures dipping below zero. I don't have to trim much dead wood. I planted the first ones in summer 2019 and in just three years, some have grown to 15 feet covering a massive amount of height and space. I even did cuttings and they sprouted and grew. I ordered more this year and will line all my fence with them. I will post several pictures...See MoreAnyone in Zone 5/6 grow passion flower vine?
Comments (47)@Shad Burns I'm curious, where did you buy your seeds or vines from? I grow them too, and I'm always curious about the source of passiflora incarnata, when grown successfully in zone 5/6. Mine were selected from the wild, in Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio. I'm always interested in hardier strains. @Helene Albert I am in zone 5b, Chicago suburbs, literally a stone throws away from you. I grow passiflora incarnata successfully. I have fruit that's ready to harvest at end of August continuing through to October. It's truly a may sprouting perennial for me. If anyone is growing passiflora incarnata in zone 4/5/6a, please send me a message through Houzz by clicking my profile. I cannot send messages by default to most people, because messages are not enabled by default in Houzz until you go to your profile and enable them under "advanced settings." You should be able to send to me, however. I collect hardy passiflora incarnata. There is some genetic variation. Even the white version of P. incarnata aren't the same, with at least 5+ different strains floating around....See MoreAre these zone 5 hardy - anyone growing them in zone 5?
Comments (2)Abies beshanzuensis - not in cultivation; likely zone 7 Abies squamata (Flaky Fir) - zone 5/6, but needs cool summers Calocedrus macrolepis - zone 8/9 Cupressus x arilosa ÂPendula - an invalid synonym of C. x notabilis (C. glabra x C. nootkatensis); probably zone 6 Cupressus glabra ÂGolden Pyramid - probably zone 6/7 Picea shirasawae ÂAlpine Blue - yes, should be zone 5, maybe 4 Pseudotsuga japonica - zone 7, possibly 6 Pseudotsuga gaussenii = P. sinensis var. gausenii - zone 7 or 8 Resin...See MoreDoes anyone grow Golden wings in zone 6 or 5?
Comments (14)I grew it here but it needed sprayed too be healthy. I have two very similar roses that need no spray. Kordes Lemon Fizz Kolorscape has a nice large bloom, strong scent, very heathy, good shapely shrub, continuous bloom and doesn't fade. Maybe a little bit but not much Photo from June it even had cane good cane left after polar out break. The canes always appear healthy after winter. Be sure too prune until you have nice white or apple green centers.The healthier your cane the healthier your rose will be. Carefree Sunshine is another healthy one that grows well here (no photo). Flower does fade more than LFK but still pretty. Flower does somewhat resemble Golden Wings in color. Golden Wings did grow and flower well for me. Just could not keep it as a no spray rose. I have grown every yellow single or semi double yellow shrub sold in the US in the last twenty years. LFK and CS have to date performed the best. Of course if your area is a bit drier, less humid or you spray Golden Wings could be gorgeous. I was equally infatuated with it. I like yellows of all kinds....See Morejerijen
