What kinds of Japanese Painted Fern do you grow?
Comments (9)CMK- I am usually trying to save money on plants [g], and with something I like enough to buy multiples of, I am usually just picking up more when they are at bargain prices. I try to go to a few of my favorite local plant sales in the spring every year and JPFerns have been about $4. a pot and not special cultivars. The one 'Burgundy Lace' that I have, I did buy at a nursery in the fall for 50% off it's $16. original price and I'm happy I did. I have seen most of the cultivars mentioned here and I think 'Burgundy Lace' appealed to me the most. I think it is more silver than the Pictum for sure. I am a big fan of 'Ghost' and I have at least three of those already. It is very vigorous and well behaved and I enjoy it. I like the color, although I wouldn't describe it as white or pale at all. I have a lot of shade in my garden, but a lot of Maple tree roots and so my 'shade' gardens are still not what I want them to be. I keep working on the soil and adding more plants every year, experimenting a lot to find perennials that will tolerate dry shade. I have a bed surrounding a Bloodgood Japanese Maple with burgundys and golds too. I do have some JPFerns there with the silver in them and they do seem to work fine to me. Two plants I might mention for those tones, I added a 'Fire Island' Hosta last year and that is quite gold/yellow. And I just planted a 'Frosted Violet' Heuchera under the Bloodgood and they really complement each other....See MoreGarden Pic's June 25th.
Comments (11)Very nice pics everyone! I always love these threads and decided I should start chipping in this year. My morden and prairie joy roses, poppies, flax and peonies are all finished blooming. I didn't take pics of the rambler red and baffin roses that are still blooming but here are my pics so far of what's in bloom this week in the far far north of Minnesota: Chinese Delphinium Clarkia has started to bloom this week: Datura-devils trumpet Echinacea paradox hollyhocks (fig var.) My new mock orange--MN snowflake planted last fall. It was in tough shape when I bought it...but it made it and came back this year with a few blooms even! Delphs have been at it full force for the last week or more: After a neighbor suggested that I should make my garden bigger I put in a new bed. I had been thinking of turning my back yard into a courtyard....so this is as far as I got so far this summer. My back sure paid for this effort. Moved 1.5 cubic yards of dirt by hand (not including the compost I had made last year), removed and turned about 80 sq feet of sod, cut about 40 landscape timbers.....and still I have half of this project to do yet. But the back can't take it, so I think I will be patient and just bump off the rest of the sod with the lasagna method. I put lots of annuals planted in here along with the perennials. So there will be some color soon--some zinnia buds have opened and the calendula buds are about to open....See Morered multiflora rambler

Comments (8)Hi! I live in NWFL (8b) an hour east of Pensacola and I grow only own root roses because I don't want to deal with rootstock growing and having to prune it off. I'm pretty new to roses so I only had mine for a full year and they are going into their second spring. I bought all Austins except for 1 Eden. Not sure if there are nematodes this far north since I am like 50miles from Alabama. I guess I'll find out the hard way! But I do amend the soil per HR's instructions and I add a banana peel to the bottom of the planting hole if I have one. My soil is sandy in some areas and loamy in others. Also I want to have a no spray garden but if I do see a TON of blackspot or aphids I will spray. I want to try the cornmeal or baking soda trick I've seen on gardenweb to control those issues since I like cheap and organic gardening. Of those I got last year: INGENIOUS MR. FAIRCHILD: the first year it was in a spot that recieved 4-5 hours of sun (E side of house) and it grew thin, thorny spindly canes and didn't bloom at all. So this spring I moved it to the NE side of my yard and it gets a TON of sun @least 6-8 hours and so far it's looking good after the transplant with new canes and leaves within a two week period after the move. No blackspot in both locations! Hopefully it will bloom! JAMES GALWAY: I love love love this rose! I planted him E side of my house next to a brick column near my porch. I'm trying to grow him as a climber or pillar and he's doing great! He got a lot of good sun and the breeze was good there! He got afternoon shade from my house. He's also planted right next to a sprinkler. He bloomed so well his first year! And no black spot all growing season except for after winter which I removed those leaves and he grew new ones fast! Not sure if this year I should remove leaves to prepare for winter. He responds so good to pruning and is covered with like 7 buds. He had one octopus cane last year that I didn't prune the tip so I don't see a bud and I tied it horizontal the other day to try to produce canes off it so we'll see if that works. The flowers smelled faintly last year if you get your nose in the bloom and inhale but it was a good smell. Really pretty apricot pink or medium pink blooms. It was my favorite last year! HERITAGE: I have 3 of these in my front garden near my house (E side). I need to do some rearranging because i want to move 2 of them in an 18inch triangle to make one big bush. They get 4-5 hours of morning sun. They bloomed very well! Smelled really good! But I found out the blooms shatter quick if you cut them for the vase. So I plan on just letting them stay on the bush. Pretty light pink blooms. They did BS a little during the end of growing season and a lot in winter so this spring I took off like all the leaves. Bounced back fast after that and pruning it with really heathy leaves and is budding now! EDEN: I am growing as a climber on the W side of my house against a tall brick wall. It's still short though. About 1.5feet. About 6-7 hours of sun. There's a garden web post about hook anchors with galvanized wire in the brick and her climbing roses were gorgeous like that!! This rose is my second favorite in my garden! BS's a little where it is because my house is on a pond and it's humid in the backyard, but it's not enough to spray. I just pick the infected leaves off. Loves fertilizer and has a bunch of buds forming. Also had a really thick cane shoot up this year! The buds are so big on some of the thin canes they are almost touching the ground. I should probably tie those up. Planted near a sprinkler and does good there. OF MY NEW ONES I bought this year (recieved 2 weeks ago!) and planted in a garden bed I got the pleasure of filling since the previous owners of the house had nothing in it except for some boxwoods: GOLDEN CELEBRATION: planted in partial sun. Looks green and no BS yet. Heard mixed reviews on the BS issue so we'll see. CROCUS ROSE: planted in partial sun. Heard nothing but good things. So hopefully it will be good. MOLINEUX: in at least 6 hours of sun. With shade halfway in between the day. Really straight up growth from what I see from the nursery. It's kinda stiff and weird looking compared to the other roses I've bought so it's new to me. Heard a lot of good things so I have high hopes this works out. LICHFIELD ANGEL: planted in 6-8 hours of sun. Thin canes from the nursery plant so I hope it gets stronger canes. I want to plant an older Austin, SYMPHONY rose when HR has it ready to sell next year. also, I have two lady banks yellow roses on my backyard fence that are a year old. They are not in an ideal location for them, about 5-6 hours of sun and the rest shade or dappled sun. I hope when it gets bigger and climbs the fence it will get better sun to bloom. It BSed a little but it's in a not ideal spot, 10 feet from a pond so that's my fault. I plan to leave it be and see if it survives since I hear they are pretty tough... Well I hope that helps and I'm curious to see how your own roots do! Good luck!...See MoreFeiy (PNWZ8b/9a)
