Comments (1)I love garden tours. Wish I could've gone to this one. We need to remember to watch for it next year. Did anyone go? I'd love to see photos....See MoreShow Us Your Landscape/Gardens - A Photo Thread - June 2022
Comments (46)Deanna - I’ve been surprised that Hostas come in so many sizes. I have some that never grow larger than 12 inches around. Some of the big ones - ‘Sagae’ and ‘Krossa Regal’ haven’t stopped increasing in size yet, five years after planting. I have a ‘June’ that has been in the ground since 2008 and it’s very large now but not as large as the larger varieties and I only divided it once 2 years ago. I just took out a pie shaped wedge and left the rest and it’s filled into a perfect circle again already. I love the large sizes and if they are sited well, you can just keep them there and never have to divide them. That is my limited experience. I wish my Rose corner was in sight of a window, but it is near the gate by the garage that can’t be seen from the house at all. The back of my house faces trees, shade and part shade. The front windows look out on the full sun bed with the other roses in it. Oh well, I’m out there every day any way and purposely walk past the garage rose corner, multiple times a day in June. I’m seeing that the bloom lasts the whole month! And is still a little fragrant which is all from the New Dawn right now. I’ve just started deadheading it which I’ve never done before to see if I will get rebloom on New Dawn, which I’ve only now learned it does do. Dee, Your foxglove is not a biennial? I didn't know there was such a thing. You have the same plants come back and bloom every season? With reseeding, I am getting a ton of Penstemon ‘Dark Towers’ I let them sprout at the beginning of the season and just pull them out where I don’t want them. I always have to weed the whole bed they are in at some point in the season and once I have everything where I want it, I mulch. I’m loving the babies of my Penstemon. Even though it is a named variety, I get both, solid green plants that are taller that must revert back to a parent plant and plants that are almost replicas of the dark foliage. Some plants are so vigorous and shapely, some a little shorter and compact. My problem is I love the seed heads and I usually leave them on all season and I haven’t wanted to limit the reseeding until this year. I’m looking at how many I have and I think I’ve reached the point where I have to start deadheading before they reseed. I'm having a lull in the garden right now. Roses are finishing their first flush, Penstemon is showing seedheads, Dianthus is just starting to bloom and with deadheading that will last awhile. But I see Monarda just opening and Lilies getting ready to. After that I'm waiting for Hibiscus and Hydrangea. Cosmos, Dill and Cleome are filling in and not really blooming yet either. And hopefully I will get another flush of bloom on the roses out front....See More2022 Kordes Roses in My Garden
Comments (48)@dianela7analabama Good Evening, Dianela,, Soring & summer my roses were all doing well. I just had Lavendar Veranda delivered a month ago and she’s leafed out nicely w/ a few blooms. However, it started raining every 3 days, 2 weeks ago. It is humid or ground is almost always damp. No BS on Lavender Veranda. She is in a very sunny spot 10+ hours sun-all day! She is on hill drains well. I don’t have it as humid as you and its not feeling humid now…. but the soil stays damp and rains too much. BTW, “New 2022-2023 Proven Winners , Houzz thread show new Reminiscent Roses. I have Reminiscent Pink & Crema and they are amazingly disease resistant!! Esp. the Crema. Neither get BS. R Pink-I saw a tad of mildew. R Crema can sit in soggy soil ( from too much rain) & grow as if it‘s no problem!-no fungus ever!!!!!...See MoreTour of some of my roses this year
Comments (17)@erasmus_gw I am not sure they are both first year. I think I got both this spring. Stephen Rulo was from Rosarium in Spokane WA and Cafe I had shipped from Roses Unlimited. They are both small quart size babies right now. Although each of them bloomed. Cafe is in a pot small enough that I will take in if it drops below freezing. I can't wait for them to take off in the coming years. I also have a small honey dijon although that one didn't bloom this year. I got it from Rosarium as well. They said be patient it's doing it's thing underground. I got it during a hot time of year so prob shocked it a bit. Honey dijon is very pretty....See MoreHoang Ton - Zone 9a

2 years agolast modified: 2 years agoThank you, Hoang Ton, for the tip of air-pot from Amazon. That would be perfect for my heavy rain climate. Last year, my 20 own-root roses in plastic pots broke out in blackspots when we had 3 inch. of rain per day in July. Band-size Felicia rose died, despite my drilling extra holes at bottom & elevating the pot on bricks.
The fabric pot (or Smart-pot) is worthless for roses .. soil gets too dry for roses to bloom in such fabric pot. Can't even root cuttings in Smart-pot. Those fabric pots are best for veggies like pepper and eggplant which like drier soil. Below video shows the advantage of Air-pot for the health of plant.
Below pic. shows the advantage of Air-pot versus plastic pot:
