Southern Cotton is looking saturated. How long have you had this one, and what is your experience? Absolute Ripper continues to perform for you.

Mantis,

I've had SC for 3 years. It spent the first 2 years in a pot. I finally found a place for it this past fall, so it is still adjusting to being in the ground. It has put up a lot of foliage and several scapes. The jury is still out. I may have more to say next year.

Finally bloom time in Upstate NY

I have a few more to share today - the weather is lovely this morning, although I wish we'd get some rain. Hyperion, FFO - a wonderful oldie Unknown, from a White Flower Farm mix I bought years ago. It reminds me of 'Siloam Ury Winiford.' A dark bitone seedling, FFO today, tall and sturdy. I love the dark, wide petals. We'll see how it develops. Yet another yellow seedling. Pretty; I'll watch it. I can only keep so many "pretty yellow seedlings"! I'd rather have a handful of different ones to keep. The extra yellows can go grace my friend's farm. I have a muddy dog seedling, too - gotta get a few of those just by the law of averages, I suppose. Not quite as homely as the legendary "Doody Pants" and "Brown Trousers," but definitely not "AHS Next Top Model" either, lol! Laurel

Very nice pictures. Isn't it a treat when a bonus plant thrills you so much? I have several in my garden that I love, and never would have considered if they hadn't been sent as gift plants. I love the bold colors of CONCRETE BLOND and ALABAMA JUBILEE, but I have to choose PEACHES AND GOLD as my favorite (maybe because it reminds me of orange sherbert, which is sounding pretty good right now in the heat!).

I'm experiencing disappointment with Startle, too. Mine doesn't even get that red, but looks washed out as soon as it opens, and never gets the nice frilly edges that I see in all other pics - maybe I'll move it to better soil next year. I love Feeding Frenzy, and have added it to my list. Thanks for sharing, Julie

When does wild phlox bloom in upstate NY?
Q
Comments (1)
Many people call that phlox but what you are describing is really probably commonly called "Dame's Rocket". The botanical name is Hesperis matronalis. (see link below) The bloom time will vary from year to year depending on weather conditions, and plants grown in sun will usually bloom sooner than those in shaded areas. You're considerably further south than me, and your growing conditions (woods) is different from mine, so I'd hesitate to guess for you. Here is a link that might be useful: Dame's Rocket

Nice group. I like Passing Fancy. Nice color. Does it tend to roll back during hotter temps? Not sure what your experiencing now with temps.

Lovely group, I like all of these. Purples and pinks are my favorites, but I even like the look of Dances with Linda.

All of these look fantastic! Do you usually get clean booms on Absolute Ripper. Mine was very splotchy most of the time this year. Passing Fancy and Southern Cotton are both gorgeous!

Julia: Passing Fancy always rolls back like that.

Debra: This year, they all have been flawless. Last year I had some splotchiness. I think I have been taking pictures of it everyday, as it has just been outstanding.
