Ideal time to transplant roses from Zone 6a garden to Zone7 garde
Comments (5)Sorry to be so granular but I am clueless...Would I dig them up, shake off most of the soil, transport them in a moist medium (say wet newspapers around the roots in a plastic bag) get them to my sister and she would then soak the roots in a bucket until she can plant them? It's quite hot in NYC these days. Although I gather from everyone's posts, we all are having an early, hot spring. Thank you for all your help!...See MoreZone 6 Shade Garden plant help!
Comments (21)I'd like to second the hellebores - IF (and this is a pretty big if) the bed is in an area where you're likely to see it in the winter months. I've probably posted about this more than a few times, but I was growing hellebores for 3 or 4 years before I even knew they flowered. This was a very long time ago, when they were relatively unknown in New England, and I'd bought one as a foliage plant for a dark wooded area of my yard - I never ventured into that corner in winter. There are lots of great hellebores - H. foetidus and x hybridus (aka orientalis) are the most forgiving, in my experience, but H niger, the Christmas rose, is also tough as nails where it's happy. You just can't beat them for a) glossy evergreen foliage and b) winter flowers. They self-sow at a perfect rate, at least here on Cape Cod - never aggressive, but they pop up here and there, just when you think you need some more of them....See MoreShould I plant my spring bulbs yet in zone 6?
Comments (4)in my metro detroit .... october is the month.. just get it done ... use sticks or some such to mark area you already planted.. so you dont overplant later .. the general rule for depth is 3 times the height of the bulb ... i dont know what to tell you.. if you have that horrible OH clay ... they will grow roots until the ground freezes.. or the soil cools to the depth of the bulb ... the shallowest bulbs.. like crocus.. are the first to bloom in spring.. because of the converse.. the soil warms to root/bulb depth .. so they get moving very early ... you could have started in mid sept.. no need to wait until frost or freeze ... ken...See More2024 Spring Swap - Saturday May 4, 2024
