How is Black Lace Elderberry doing for ya?
Comments (30)Our landscape advisor is trying to talk me out of putting an Elderberry Black Lace at a most-prominent corner of our house, to be an anchor plant. She says they haven't had good luck with them, and suggests a Ninebark instead. The Ninebark are nice - but the Black Lace looks amazing! I'd much rather use it, if I had good hope that it would do well. I'm ~60 miles south of Minneapolis-St. Paul. So, I'd appreciate any thoughts. Has your Black Lace Elderberry achieved its mentioned full height of ~5 feet? If it dies back in winter, will it re-achieve that full height the next year? (I will likely buy a 1-gallon plant.) Is there a best time of year to plant it? Thanks in advance for any feedback! Rose...See Morehave - curly willow, lace cap hydrangea / want - clematis, others

Comments (17)I think that is part of the key to these Zone 4/Reblooming Hydrangea mac/serratas is getting some old wood to survive and not rely on the basal/root sprouts to bloom. Good early snow cover that lasts all winter and no late spring freezes along with no sudden fall temperature cliffs helps a lot. All my macs/serratas are great this year, partly because of above, but also the genetics are getting better but out by the breeders. That's why I also pile some of the last leaves of the season on them to protect those lower buds/crown just in case....See MoreBrussel's Lace Hydrangea, anyone???
Comments (7)Luis, thank you! I will need to look into Sweet Summer and Strawberry Sundae! I grew Vanilla Strawberry in Calgary before but that bloomed so late it was not useful. But I guess Strawberry Sundae should be different, though I get confused by their similar names! LOL! It is interesting that you have the opposite problems than what we have here in Zone 3/4! Here, even the paniculatas grow slowly and not so big. See, we warm up by July but then it cools down by September...! Such a short summer!!! YIKES! My Quick Fire has this beautiful pink colour now, rather than that awful panty hose brown that I used to get by August when I was in Zone 5! My paniculatas in Calgary were no more than 4 feet tall and I expect them to be about the same here in Edmonton. I really wonder how big Little Quick Fire would get in our climate here, since the original Quick Fire does not even get that big here anyway? My Little Lime here has bloomed quite early and it is absolutely delightful, even after just one year in the ground! It looks so much more refined than Limelight, and I prefer it this way. How are people's experience with Quick Fire Fab? It's supposed to be an early early bloomer, but then is it just me or does it somehow look a bit gawdy? OK, I have not seen it in person but it's just from its publicity photos, so please pardon me if I am totally wrong.... LOL!...See Moreostrich
