Well, it sounds like a good thing to me, to have her back close.
But I'm getting more bang for my fat-burning buck, I think!
Are you bringing Okie back too?
Those boo-boos still look ouchie!!
I'm heading home. There is a HORRIBLE storm outside!!
I bought a few mums the other day and planted them. I was told they would come back every year???? i want to get more if they do.
Becky
If they don't freeze they'll come back, but I don't know how hardy they'd be to a hard freeze. I've had them survive under the eaves of the house in mild winters.
How am I spelling cleamtis! LOL Knock me on the head someone! LOL Clematis! DUH.......is it Friday yet?
The first one, the montana comes in white too and is VERY fast growing once it gets its roots down. It grows kind of wild, covering fences beautifully and has small red flowers that turn from red to light pink in the sun. Very natural flowing plant! : )
Nelly Moser has much bigger flowers, almost china saucer size! They are beautiful folded up before they come out in the sunshine. The most important rule is to keep those roots shaded and they will grow for you. I have never had any problems about hardiness with them in the winter and we have had some cruel winters.
~sobs~ I post pretty pics but you have all run out on me
~ sobs~ : (
To be honest I dont know. I have always found that by bying two year old plants and making sure their roots are comfortable they take off pretty quick. Sometimes its the second season when they will shock you!
Clematis montana and montana rubens are easy to grow and fast, but flower for a shorter time that Sweet Autumn Clematis which provides profuse white blossoms from late summer to fall. Sweet Autumn is VERY fast!
What about a buddleia bush? pretty fast growing. Commmon name is butterfly bush. grows very tall or can be pruned.
Clematis should do very well in your climate I think.
Well, I don't really care about flowers, I want the green wall back that I had before they logged it.
I'll probably try to prop up a trellis and plant ivy on it.
Well now, if cover is what you really need, there is a climer called "mile a minute" Russian Vine. It grows VERY VERY fast and you will probably have to cut it back one day! LOL It is vigorous and rampant and highly invasive, but covers trellis, etc FAST! I wonder if I can find a photo?
Well, I probably don't want anything ~too~ wild to manage. LOL
Clementis loses it's leaves in the winter too. So yo wouldn't have a screen i the winter. i think planting a row of evergreens would be your best bet. Might take awhile for the to completely shield you tho.
Rose, clementis doesn't start back growing from the ground every year does it. doesn't it grow a woody stem and just grow new leaves every year?
Becky
Oh - yeah - good to know.... I'd want it to be evergreen.
I bought a fig tree last week. Funny, because about the only thing fig I like is fig newtons. It was a nostalga buy. It reminded me how when I was a kid when my friend and I would hide under one and throw figs at the boys!
