what to plant with brugmansia?
Comments (18)I agree with karyn, they should be okay in your zone. They might possibly re-seed themselves a little. There is a lavender version of moonvine but it has a smaller flower and not as fragrant. The japanese morning glories are especially good to grow up brugs because in general they aren't as aggressive of growers. If you cut the mgs and moonvines back a little every once in awhile they get bushier. You just need to watch them a little because sometimes they will reach up and grab onto the new brug flower buds lol. Here's a few critters that like to visit the moonvines here....See More`Broms in the Park' - Plants- part 3 of 3
Comments (12)John and Agatha, Now that I have managed to scrape my jaw off the ground, and sit comfortably at the puter, I can thank you for sharing all 3 glorious postings of your recent trip to paradise. Is Andrew Maloy partnered? Heterosexual? .......hmmm.... oh that's right, I have a partner.....sorry my dear. Autumn Blaze, with Pacific Blush, is now equal first on my lust list. All of Maloy's hybrids are magnificent. Your haul looks pretty spectacular as well - mind me asking how much all up? And why only eight plants? I suppose you already have so many broms in your collection, but with that type of temptation, readily accessible or not, I could not help myself from buying as many as possible! But then the family must eat. Do you know if Andrew Maloy or Peter Coyle is going to register the Pacific series? When I looked into the cultivar database on the BSI website for Maloy's hybrids, I saw that the Kiwi series was hybridised by N. Scotting, and named* by A. Maloy. Then for the Tasman series, the hybridiser is listed as A. Maloy "et al" (Scotting?), and naming by P. Coyle.* Does Maloy do the actual crossing, and grow the seedlings, or does he pass on the seed to Peter Coyle for him to grow the seedlings, and also name them? I'm a bit confused, as I thought if a brom was included in the cultivar registry database, with acknowledgement of hybridiser, and parentage included if known (of course, preferable), then that was evidence of registration. Yet the Kiwi series, under the 'registered' category, says NO, but they DO have registration numbers - can someone fill me in? I owe Uncle Derek an email, so I should ask him. Nitty-gritty aside, thanks again John and Agatha for the magnificent postings. Cheers, Kerry...See Morewanted: part 3 springbank park, london, on, plant exchange 20
Comments (166)Hi Signet, I've potted up an alcea rugosa (?) butter yellow hollyhock with fig leaves for you. My downy wood mint seems to have disappeared too. I'm half way through potting things up :-p I've been potting up other stuff for my plant sale the following week. Thank goodness for my new potting bench that Matt finished on Saturday!! Now I can do 30 pots in the time it used to take to do 10 _and_ still be able to stand up straight! Thankfully the next half of the potting up is the easy stuff. The 17 small plants from cuttings which won't take long once I get my kitchen back. Looks like it won't be so crazy hot tomorrow, and even a bit cloudy, so I can send the houseplants outside for their summer vacations! Because of the fear of lily beetles, I'll just bag the lilies the day before the swap with no dirt attached. I had hoped to get the cannas and dahlias planted this weekend, but it was too hot, and the weeds in that section of the front yard have gone nuts. WMC1 & NavyGirl01 - is their anything on my list that you would trade for a green or a non pink echinacea? I just found a Stokes blue aster as I was weeding & digging up the Yellow toadflax for Lilac....See MoreWhere can I buy a brugmansia plant?
Comments (10)A dependable online source is Logee's. In addition to popular named varieties, they have hybridized a couple of relatively compact hybrids (like Angel's Summer Dream) that have done well for me. A good nursery/greenhouse operation should have at least one or two Brugmansias available. I just found a mystery Brugmansia in a rundown Cincinnati-area greenhouse for $7.99 (sizable plant that I'm hoping will flower this year)....See Moremarquest
