Looking for Purple-leaf Crinum
Comments (4)Jen, I can send cuttings of the plum. I have not tried to root them and was wondering if you had. I might try to root the Guthrie after it leafs out more. I can also send a bulb of the Eucommis. You can propagate Eucommis by carefully pulling a leaf off and planting the base of it in a small container of good potting soil. The leaf will gradually produce 2 small bulblets by the end of summer. I think Chickasaw Plums require 2 different plants to pollinate before they can fruit. The Indians had hundreds of cultivars, probably lost now. Does Cerinthe major grow easily for you? Mine keep dying. Mexican Petunia, dwarf pink is one I don't have. I'm waiting to see if Mirabilis longiflora comes back. It has smaller but very long stemmed white flowers with a fragrance similar to M.jalapa. I can swap you for a seed or two of Senna didymobotrya. I have Cassia or Senna hebecarpa, similar to C. marylandica. Have Salvia leucantha- Velvet Sage in two varieties. We may get seed of Sinocalycanthus this year. It had a few pods last year.

Comments (13)I got two seedlings or rooted cuttings at the Raulston Arboretum last night. They had a lecture on cane crops and in addition to the normal plant giveaway door prizes (I won one) they had a few plants for sale - $5 each. The door prize plant was a brown colored podocarpus - I remarked that I would never know when it was dead! Anyway I am glad to get some Chimonathus for my yard (though it might take a while for these babies to get big enough to bloom) and I'm glad the arb is finally selling unusuall plants....See MoreWintersweet ( La- Mei) Starts to Bloom
Comments (60)It's unlikely to be hardy in zone 5, but might be possible if you have a very warm spot, up against the South side of the house facing the sun, protected from wind, and you live in the warmer part of zone 5. Also keep in mind this blooms during the Winter, so the blooms are likely to freeze off if it gets extremely cold. If it's growing in a container, you should definitely bring them inside. Plants growing in containers are usually less hardy because the soil and roots are more exposed to the surrounding cold....See MoreBlooming In January 2018
Comments (47)This is Daphne bholua. I have three of these in pots, and each one blooms at a slightly different time. This plant, the largest, is also the earliest. Most years it starts in December, but this is the first year I've kept them outside all winter. Their pots are sitting in a 45 gallon nursery container with a 100 light string of incandescent mini lights wandering around between them (keeps their toes a little warmer). The fragrance is unique amongst the daphnes. It isn't the lemons and roses scent of Daphne odora, or the clove and vanilla scent of Eternal Fragrance or those types. It is spicy though, I just can't identify which spice! The plant is 7 feet tall but barely 2 feet wide- very narrow growers, these! Speaking of Eternal Fragrance, this one is trying! Probably the earliest snowdrop is Galanthus elwesii, the giant snowdrop. They don't begin as giants, though. It doesn't matter how cold or mild my winter is, they always bloom in January. Find a spot for these where the snow doesn't collect. They'll eventually colonize your garden, then your neighbor's garden, then your neighborhood. In a warm room, the fragrance wafts around. It's like sweet alyssum....See Moreforever_a_newbie_VA8
