Lavender looking plant, but not lavender??
Comments (10)I know it is hard without a pic of it! And, I realized when you replied that I forgot to mention that it is not fragrant at all. Even though it looks and feels like some type of herb. So, not a sage. By looking at it you would think sage or lavender with the grayish leaves and the flowers. Thanks for replying! I have been trying to do Google searches to try and find out what it is, and how to propagate it. I tried a hardwood cutting for my MIL, but it didn't take. Sred...See MoreRoses we used to grow.
Comments (19)So many, mostly HTs and floribundas ill suited to my garden. I'm going to try Angel Face again, though. Caught up in a mild hysteria over Vintage closing just when I discovered it, I have been ordering from them like crazy. And, I thought I would give an own root, VI Angel Face a try. The flowers were a revelation to me--the color!--the ruffled petals!--the scent!--but it was weak with many leaves showing the distinctive marks of RMV and riddled with rust. Marco Polo had beautiful flowers and foliage but talk about a jolly green giant! It would shoot straight up in the air eight foot canes. Tropicana's color didn't look good with all the other roses but I would have lived with it if not for the mildew. A few other HTs went to my neighbor because I wanted the room for Perle D'Or. The mother of all difficult roses that had to leave (but will NOT) was American Pillar. Holy Cow! So beautiful the ONE year in bloom draping over an old fig tree. Every other year the two APs planted five feet apart, mind you, covered in PM so thickly the blooms were ruined. And, it rambled alright with prickles that rivaled Mermaid over my gate and in my vegetable beds. NOT worth the effort! But they keep shooting up more basals. I WISH I could say it is a rose I used to grow. Unfortunately, it is a rose that grows itself--all over the place!...See Morelavender lady question(s)
Comments (6)Hi, Overwatering is definitely an issue with passionflower vines. They prefer well drained soil with sunshine. 'Lavender Lady' is also prone to a virus that causes discoloration to the leaves, but is usually not a cause of serious damage. Spider-mites cause a more "crunchy" looking leaf with discoloration and damage. Probably overwatering is the problem. It roots easily from cuttings, so if you need to reestablish your vines elsewhere, you can start some new plants. They are big butterfly and bee attractants, it's a vigorous and free flowering passionflower and new plants will pop up nearby....See Moreproblem on lavender seedlings
Comments (3)thx 4 the reply ken. sadly I don't have any good quality camera that can take picture very good, I have tried but it seems not view the dust that covered on my seedlings, because the dust will only seen when the leaves get direct sunlight and I have to watch it very near. I live at south east asia, the temperature is very hot, it can reach about 27 C during the night and can reach 40 C during the noon. u're right about soap and oil. at the first time I sprayed that formula in the morning (about 7 am) a little number of leaves were burned within 2-3 hours, but when I apllyed at the evening after sunset it doesn't seem bring bad effect to my seedlings. that baking soda formula doing good on my crape myrthle, just only 2 times treatment the powdery mildew goes at all, but when I applyed to the my lavender seedlings it doesn't affect at all. I've never give water directly on the leaves. the growth seem decreasing now, what I have to do? is it better to continue baking soda treatment or using diluted milk or anything better than all of those treatments?...See MoreBlueberryBundtcake - 6a/5b MA
