Comments (3)Nice assortment of roses, not one the same as any of my 12 from there. They are out of Champney's. I had been looking for that one from an old rose book, and it was named slightly differently. I'm happy for you but wouldn't relish the thought of having that many to plant at once. You shouldn't have to soak them as long as I did....See MoreBuddleia Lo & Behold Blue Chip/No new growth yet
Comments (23)I'm going to shovel prune mine this fall, just not worth the space. My Peacock and Blue Chip were really slow to get going this year, and I can deal with that if eventually the plant is worth the wait. The Peacock is finally getting some blooms, but no flowers on the Blue Chip, don't even see any buds yet. Also, truthfully I just don't think the flowers are all that pretty - they are quite stubby compared to other BB flowers, and the color is nothing to rave about. So, out she goes during fall cleanup. Re: container: I have a Peacock planted in a good-sized container, and one in the ground. The one in the container (which is new to me this year), is really pumping out the blooms while the one in the ground is finally revving up, as mentioned above. So, I'm definitely enjoying the potted one and am considering potting up the other one, too, and placing it in a sunnier spot (the one in the container is in full sun all day, while the one in the ground gets about 1/2 sun - so that is probably making a difference). Will have to over-winter in the garage, though....See MoreButterfly Bush (Buddleia) in Rochester area?
Comments (6)Hi Molly. Nice to see a fellow Nebraskan (former in my case :-). I'm originally from about 60 miles north of Omaha (Decatur) and moved her from Herman in 1994. I live in Owatonna (about 40 miles west of Rochester) and work in Rochester. Buddleia are marginal here. They are Z5 and we are Z4. I believe many people here have good luck with them, but it varies from spot to spot. I planted one last summer, for the first time, and it didn't survive the winter. I've put in 3 more this summer, two are in the ground and one in a pot. I plan to mulch a little heavier for the two in-ground and I'm going to try burying the one in the pot in my vegetable garden. I'm pretty sure that one will survive (I've done that with a tea rose in the past) but how long depends on how many seasons I'm willing to go to the extra work to do so. Blueberries do grow here. Moreso in the northern part of the state, but some grow them around here too. Hope to see you here on the MN forum again, if you decide to make the move....See MoreBastian and Molly have some news
Comments (82)Such cute pictures. And I'm glad you found a"canine assistant" at the park. Molly doesn't look too excited in the crib, though! (I'm curious, is the cute pink teddy bear photoshopped? No shadow, though Halloween IS coming up...)...See Moreken_adrian Adrian MI cold Z5
