yellow flowering magnolia recommends?
Comments (5)'Elizabeth' seems to have a chronic pathogenic problem when in flower, also many of the yellow hybrids may be prone to dying back in the nursery environment, such as when overwintered in a humid poly tunnel. Again, liable to be pathogenic. I wonder if you are attributing the chronic browning of 'Elizabeth' to rain, but it is actually something else more or less peculiar to that cultivar - at least among the more familiar ones. If it's the rain that's browning that one out, I haven't made the connection. Other spring-blooming magnolias seem to be damaged by the opposite problem - bright sunshine during flowering - and of course the long well known issue with hard frost during flowering. But these are types that flower much earlier than 'Elizabeth'. They're all getting the yellow from Magnolia acuminata subcordata, or in some cases yellow form (var. aurea) of otherwise typical M. acuminata). These yellow versions are characteristic of the southernmost parts of cucumber tree's natural distribution. If neither grows in original poster's area adequately then perhaps none of the hybrids will either. It depends on if the genes from one of the other parents managed to introduce greater tolerance in a particular instance....See MoreDoes anyone grow Passion Flower?
Comments (19)Wiley, I have plenty of little sprouts coming up from my lavender-flowered passiflora incarnata and would be happy to share a few bare-root shoots if I can find any more this late in the season (I just finished pulling & discarding a bunch, as I already have 4 potted and rooted for an upcoming local plant swap.) My plant was a gift sent bare-root from a fellow gardener in the southeastern U.S., where these plants are native, up to Virginia and southeastern Pennsylvania. It is perfectly winter-hardy without protection other than the usual winter mulch of shredded leaves in my USDA Zone 7 garden on the mid-NJ coast. Don't despair if you don't see anything in spring - these didn't earn their name "Maypop" for nothing! Due to our cooler spring this year, mine was up quite late, but has made up for it. I don't know how well it would fare through a zone 6 winter, but it wouldn't hurt to try. I would recommend planting it in a large, deep nursery pot sunk into the ground, as once established they do send up shoots quite a distance from the mother plant. Let me know if you are still interested - there should still be time for it to establish some roots before the soil cools....See MoreDoes anyone grow a Pure Yellow Sweet Pea Vine
