Hi my name is Iryna and I live in North Texas.Zone 8a.My love of gardening began as a child but love flowers and be a gardener is two different things .I started my garden 5 years ago and I learned a lot on my way.But I’m still happy to learn new things and plant a new flowers.
Don’t be sad.Plants go try shock when they planted .Be patient with peony sometimes they need time to get strong root system.But when they will bloom it will be sweet reward for you.Have a wonderful day
Hi.It’s never late to start gardening.My Lily’s are done blooming for this year.I also in zone 8a.This year a planted new lilies and they grow slower and they started bloom later too.Also was very little blooms on each one.But I know by next year is I fertilize them in fall and early spring they will be bigger and more blooms too.Have a wonderful day
Glad to see your garden again lady, I love your peonies, I have 17 peonies since I started seeing your videos, thank you kindly. they have only given me like 2 or 3 flowers but I love them all, some I planted bareroot so am waiting a couple of years for them to bloom.
I’m happy for you.You just need patience and your peony will give more flowers with each year.I have some bare root too and only green leaves,so I can’t wait to see there first bloom.Maybe next year.
I am mesmerized at such beautiful flowers but your Lily's by far were the most captivating I look forward to what this spring will bring and excited to see more of your garden ^_^
Hi.I did prune my crepe Myrtle in the spring except big one I do it ones a year.It’s extremely hot now ,there no need to stress out plant more with pruning now.Have a wonderful day
The biggest lavender crape (muskogee) that you planted 7 years ago, how big was it when you bought and planted it in the ground? I just planted a lanky and wimpy one, but I hoping to trim it back next late winter and have it bush out thicker and wider than it is tall after the roots get established. Thanks!
I cut all of my Itoh peonies to the ground and I had at least 25 blooms each. I have listened to several master gardeners who have said to cut to the ground. Those aren't the same buds as the traditional peonies.
Thank you for sharing! New subscriber here, also in North Texas! I have a Midnight Marvel Hibiscus very very similar to yours, I got it as a baby last fall! It is already twice the size it was last fall, and buds everywhere but no blooms yet! I love this plant! I just started my channel and would love a fellow subscriber also here in North Texas!
Hi.I’m sorry.Here in my garden they are ok.And I cut my in late fall early winter.So it’s has it seed on vine when I cut down.I’m struggling with Passion vine yes but not sweet autumn clematis.
The itoh peony shrub gets a nicer form if you cut it down in the fall. I have 52 different itohs in my garden and some of them never make any buds in the old stems.
I do cut just not at the ground level.And all of my Itohs do have buds above the ground.I’m in zone 8a .So our winter is not bad so in the late fall I all ready can see some flower buds for next spring.
Thanks for your sharing, my very first peony to bloom is Karl Rosenfield, the next is Coral Sunset. When planting peonies, we have to be patient because its bareroot needs time to become a shrub. First year I only got 1 little stem, second year they gave me 3 stronger and taller stems with only green leaves, third year I got 3-4 stems with one bloom only. Fourth year, yes it mostly became a shrub and they gave me 3-4 blooms, from year 5 they absolute became a real shrub and you know what? I was rewarded 5 stems, each stem has 2-3 buds. Peonies are long perennial shrub, they can live over 100 years and they give very large blooms. That's why the Chinese people chose peonies as their national flower, a kind of flower symbolizes for longevity and fullness.
Yes all of this is correct.Yes I have peony that blooming before my Coral Sunset.I just don’t know name of it.So you think it’s could be Karl Rosenfield?Thank you.Have a wonderful day
