I swear, this is my last clematis post for a while. But I wanted to share with you a couple of appealing combinations I’ve come across (or in some instances, designed) of clematis with other …
I was happy to find a pretty garden arbor on Craigslist. It was very sturdy, solid wood, and the price was right. Once Jason picked it up, I realized I had no idea to anchor it into the ground! Our township requires permits to install an arbor with concrete, and I wanted the flexibility of being able to …
Happy Memorial Day Weekend! They say it’s the unofficial beginning of summer. And that means more time outdoors– sunshine… And for some– gardens, pools and exquisite gardens. That is— if one has the land to accommodate all of that. Alas, I am in an apartment. And before that, I lived in a Townhouse. We had […]

If you’re not growing ranunculus flowers (Tecolote ranunculus) in your garden, you might consider giving it a go. These gorgeous bloomers have a rose-like appearance with layers of thin petals, straight stems, and frilly foliage. And the color range! Anywhere from white, cream and pale yellow to golden yellow, apricot, orange, red, and burgundy. Most gardeners, regardless of zone, can grow ranunculus — you simply have to understand what they like in order to be their blooming best. Growing Requirements For Ranunculus Flowers Light: Full sun Temperature: 55° (think Southern California) Water: Light water at planting, then medium water when actively growing Soil: Light and well-drained USDA Hardiness Zones: Zones 4-7 (annuals), Zones 8-10 (perennials) Kellogg Garden Organics All Natural Garden Soil Learn More Product Locator by Locally **Product not available in AZ, CA, HI, NV, UT. For a comparable product in these states click here. How to Plant Ranunculus Bulbs Planting ranunculus couldn’t be any easier. They come as bulbs (or corms) and are typically mail-ordered or picked up at a garden center — look for large, healthy-looking bulbs that will grow and support large, healthy plants with lots of blooms. Plant ranunculus bulbs 4” apart and about 2” deep with the “claw” side down in a location receiving full sun. Cover with soil and lightly water in. Now, leave it alone until you see signs of leaves sprouting — that’s right, no water! Then moderately water during active growth and blooming. (I told you this was easy, didn’t I?) When blooms have finished, let the foliage yellow and wither before cutting back. And during this time, don’t water at all, as that could rot your bulbs. Planting time? That depends upon where you live. If you’re in Zones 8-10, plant in the fall for spring blooms. Gardeners in Zones 4-7, plant in the spring for late summer bloom, and plan on treating them as annuals. Yes, I know you don’t want to plant annual bulbs — but come on, with flowers as gorgeous as these are (and which are so easy to plant), don’t you think it’s worth it? How to Use Ranunculus Flowers Because of their straight stems and medium-sized growth, ranunculus flowers are ideal for container plantings, borders, cutting gardens, and mixed perennial gardens. Want to use them in a cut flower arrangement? Here are some quick tips: 1. Cut the stems when buds are showing but aren’t yet open. 2. Remove the leaves from the lower part of the stem. 3. Re-cut the bottoms of the stems after you go inside, and place them in a vase of water immediately. 4. Change water every other day to enjoy beautiful cut ranunculus flowers for up to 10 days.

Une astrance aux grandes ombelles de fleurs d'un rose très pâle en boutons, serties de bractées de nacre blanche à pointe verte. Ses inflorescences peuvent atteindre 4 à 5 cm de diamètre. Vivace et rustique, elle est si facile à réussir qu'elle se plaira même dans les endroits un peu négligés du jardin, s'ils restent frais. Bonne fleur pour les bouquets secs ou frais.

In meinem Bücherregal stehen viele Bücher über Rosen. Mindestens 10. Vielleicht auch 15. Nur über Rosen. Auf deutsch, auf englisch und auf französisch. Alle prallgefüllt mit Informationen und wundervollen Fotos. Die meisten habe ich von vorne bis hinten gelesen. Von vielen habe ich gelernt. Aber kennst Du das Problem? Je mehr man über ein Thema liest, desto mehr Empfehlungen, Anregungen, Do's & Dont's bekommt man. Das verwirrt. Und verunsichert.Denn sie sagen nicht alle das Gleiche - im Gegentei

En korsning mellan den söta ’Minnie Shaylor’ och en namnlös röd fröplanta. Fyllda, vita blommor med mörkrosa strimmor på kronbladen, en iögonfallande pion! Ingen blomma är lik den andra, och mängden strimmor varierar kraftigt. Ibland är bottenfärgen mera åt et blekrosa hållet. Den bästa av alla ”polkagrispioner” på marknaden. Mycket blomrik och har långa stjälkar [Läs mer...]
