plastic pot is fine .... quick google lists jackmani as zone 3 to 8 ... the plant itself is fully hardy .. IN MOTHER EARTH ... the problem is the pot.. the drying effects of winter.. along with ground freeze.. and the potential for water accumulation in a frozen pot ... IN YOUR ZONE 5 ... and winter sun on a pot ... the short answer to your question is that it is a marketing gimmick.. and you could have probably got the plant for a 1/4 of what...

Okay, pardon my ignorance - I looked up rabbiting spade, and it isn't as gruesome a tool as I thought it was (though must have been in times past to acquire that name). Looks like a nice tool :0)

Hi Sharon! I only grow 'Leprechaun Gold', so I am afriad I cannot give you a comparison between the two cultivars... I have grown A. vulgaris 'Leprechaun Gold' for several years now. It is a very nice plant. The foliage is a golden color flecked with green. Seedlings from it are also variegated- and sometimes even have a stronger variegation than my parent plant, which is neat. Sorry I can't tell you about 'Lime...

Quick good morning but wanted to absolutely assure Candy that I just thought it was really cool to see pics that originated with someone I know end up on Idylls!! And, that it is a small world the web makes. No breaches here!! Only if topics sway to religion or politics, a long-held agreement amongst all Idyllers, does anyone's nose get bent :-) We're all gardeners and that's the common bond .... Happy Birthday Mary!! Business...

Happiest of Birthdays Mary! We're all a bunch of silly chickens for forgetting. But all of us chickens love ya:) I read about your celebration at work and I don't know why it didn't click. I thought they were welcoming you back from being ill. Duh! Who's in charge of birthdays, well...Cynthia used to have the list and then I think T took over for awhile and then Deanne, but she lost it in a computer crash I remember. I...

Bearded Irises, likely a tall one, aka Iris Germanica Group. There are thousands of varieties, sub-divided into various groups according to height. A few are re-bloomers.

I generally go for gift certificates to my favorite local nurseries for Christmas, birthdays and any other excuse to get a gift certificate! Any garden books you've been thinking about? Those can sometimes be pretty pricey and good to get as gifts. What about garden ornaments. I generally spend so much money on plant material that I tend not to spend on the "jewelry" in the garden.

I think you should post this in Photography in the home form. You'd probably get a better response there.

The zones are more or less a guideline for growing perennials, but It is not hard and fast. Yes you can have different microclimates in different parts of a zone. Heck you can have microclimates in one yard. A plant rated for your zone may not survive in an open exposed area with no snow cover, while one rated for a zone warmer will in a protected area with snow cover. All gardening is ...

White hardy mums frequently do this in the fall as they age. I think it might be a combination of the flowers aging and the cooler weather.

My thoughts on the subject that I had posted a while back: I moved a *lot* of plants from my first house to my current house. I wouldn't do it again, at least not on that scale. There wasn't anything I moved that couldn't be replaced, and it was just too much headache to dig all those plants up, pot them up, hold them for a couple months until the ground was workable in the new place, then ...

I'd guess most are perennials, but often short lived perennials that bloom themselves out in a couple of years.

Generally the blooms are smaller and possibly the stems are shorter. I don't recall the stems being any weaker. It kind of depends exactly which variety of tulips that you have. A very vigorous variety may bloom very well even though the bulbs are on the small side.

I've never tried overwintering them in pots. But I do have one each of a Chinese and a Japanese wisteria in the ground that I've been training for - 8 years in the Chinese case; 3 years in the Japanese case - as trees/shrubs. Mind you, I'm aiming for a big bushy presence, but a Chinese neighbour has several that she keeps pruned to smaller, neater shapes. Are you aiming for a bonsai sort of ...

I think it may depend on the species - the wholesale grower I used to work for marketed cultivars of Erodium x variabile as a groundcover hardy to zone 5/6. We sold a lot of it to the eastern half of the state, a big chunk of which is zone 6 or colder and it seemed to be fine. E. corsicum is one of the parents of this naturally occurring hybrid and is arguably the hardiest of the genus, rated to...
