White styrax turning pink
Comments (1)If the other flowers never age pink maybe you have a pink branch sport. 'Pink Chimes' would also have arisen as some sort of variation, as a branch sport or as a seedling with pink flowers....See MoreOrange Mint Turning Pink
Comments (4)Yes! That's what it looks like! My goodness I searched for weeks online to figure it out but came up with absolutely nothing. Thank you! I'll just let it be and watch for flowers :)...See MorePale pinks for scorching summer?
Comments (3)Thanks for the tip! Actually, all my roses are in pots, and I wondered if that was making it harder for the plants to stay fully hydrated. But I water every day, occasionally morning AND evening. Maybe the pots can be an advantage too. My backyard has no roses as it is dappled shade most of the day, but my neighbor from virginia was just commenting on how the New Orleans sun seems so much more intense that she sunburns more than twice as fast here. Maybe dappled shade here will be roughly equivalent to 3/4 direct sun most places. Worth a try, anyway. I had previously had roses in direct shade for all but 3-4 hours of sun per day depending on the season (at another home a few years ago), and they grew leggier with fewer blooms. But maybe the combination of dappled shade and only using it part of the year will make a positive difference. But I have still noticed some of my roses don't seem to mind the sauna at all. Linville, a white mini-flora, Winsome, a magenta mini, orange blend Hot Tamale, and red Miss Flippins are still doing quite well. Salute's dark red flowers are not lasting as long in this heat but still look good for a wile. Same for lavender Vista and yellow Bees Knees. But my pinks and my striped rose Pinstripe are all faded and runty of bloom. Do any medium to light pinks actually thrive in the heat?...See MorePale pink ground cover suggestions?
Comments (9)I'm pretty sure creeping phlox would turn up its toes pretty fast in a 10b!! It does in my zone and I don't get anywhere that hot and dry. And I'm not sure how many of the plants under consideration/listed are actual groundcovers. Do they need to hold up to foot traffic? And blooming "most of the year" is a bit optimistic as well :-) The creeping thyme is an excellent choice and there are a variety of cultivars that will offer that coloring.....'Pink Chintz'and 'Magic Carpet' are a couple of choices. I'd also consider Dianthus 'Bath's Pink' or Sedum spurium 'John Creech' or Polygonum capitatum. And the hardy geraniums (cranesbill) G. sanguineum 'Striatum' or 'Elke' and Geranium riversleaianum 'Mavis Simpson'....See MoreShelena Summers
