Resolved Question: Which perennial herbs do better in flowerpots than in the garden?
I'm beginning to play around with having really big flowerpots on my porch instead of putting everything in the garden, since where I live we get some high temperatures in the summer and maybe too much sun. Would my rosemary be happier in the pot or in the garden? Should it be brought inside in the winter (temperatures down below freezing some days here) or left outside? Also, what others could I successfully grow in pots, where they would actually thrive? moreVoting Question: I can't identify this plant. Weed, flower or ?
Growing here and there in flower garden and seed pots where I've planted perennials and/or wildflowers. Long green leaves with a DISTINCT BROWN MARK on every leaf, like it was stamped on. I'd attach a photo but not sure how. moreResolved Question: Can I plant flowers and herbs in the same pot?
I currently have some perennials taking up half a large flower pot, and would like to transfer my basil to the same pot. Am I risking some sort of cross-contamination here? Or will they both flourish in the same pot? moreResolved Question: Where can I find a good pot seller?
I have two large perennials and I want some neat looking pots to put them in. Ones that look exotic. I already tried home depot, lowes, etc. but all they have is those standard brown clay ones. I'm in Maryland, but would prefer to keep it within the Thurmont area. I do not want to order from the internet. Thanks for your help! moreVoting Question: Experienced Gardeners, how to germinate seeds?
I am trying to grow sweet basil, perennial poppies and annual thumbelina zinnias in deep pots indoors. I am not sure how to get the germination process going, and the seed packets mention nothing about it. I have an understanding of what lighting conditions are needed for each seed. From my understanding, all 3 need either sun/partial shade or full sun. Being that it is the last week of May, and last frost has past, can I just put the seedlings in pots full of soil and put them in direct sunlight? I am reading in different online sources that I could put them in the pots with well saturated soil and place plastic bags over them? If the seeds germinate between 5-10 days, do I not water the soil until I see a sprout, or what? And do they need to be in indirect sunlight, or placed in a dark spot in my home to germinate? I have already put them in pots, so hopefully the damage isnt done already. I am clueless. Help! :) moreVoting Question: Experienced gardeners, how to germinate seeds?

We have a small rock wall/terrance between our fence and the sidewalk and I'd like to plant something that would cascade down it and come back every year. The soil is pretty well drained and the area is south-facing and receives full sunlight all day. I planted some creeping rosemary, just to see how far it could get before it dies in the fall (I also potted some so we'll have some all year and next year.) But I would like to get something that would just cover the area and come back in the spring. I also really want it to be able to cascade down for about a 14 inches. Any ideas? We live in zone 4, so that is kind of limiting. moreResolved Question: What Kind of Flower Seeds Should I Get?
For mothers day, I was going to get my mom some flower seeds and buy a flower pot so that we could plant them together. My mom likes perennials (re-bloom every year) I want a kind that we can put in a smaller flower pot and that we can keep INDOORS. My mom is allergic to thistles so nothing in that category. Thanks so much! Also, we like cactus' too but other plants/flowers are preferred! moreResolved Question: will putting mulch/bark on top of newly planted bulbs / roots stop the plant from growing through?
Hi I am a new gardener. I have planted a bunch of potted plants for my new butterfly garden today and tomorrow I will begin to plant butterfly weed, White Obedient Plant, Border Dahlia Mix and Maximillian Perennial Sunflower. These plants are all in bags right now and are in root and bulb form. I have never planted like this before. I need advice on how to plant and conformation that I should not out mulch or bark nuggets on top of the soil. My husband wants to buy and put the mulch on top to stop weeds from breaking through but I and worried that my root plants wont it either. moreResolved Question: Help with landscaping problem - flower beds?
The flower beds in front of my house (2 about 20 x 8 feet each, irregular border) were, at one time, covered with a few inches of lava rock on top of heavy landscaping fabric. At some point, a previous owner decided to cover the rocks with a few inches of top soil so they could grow something (mostly weeds as it turns out). Over time, of course, the top soil has shifted and eroded to the point that the rocks show through in several places while in others there is four or five inches of soil over the rocks. I've decided that I'd like to grow a lot more flowers and plants (sort of a cross between a country garden and a jungle...I live in south Texas) but I'm not sure what to do to prepare the beds. I plan to plant perennials and annuals that behave that way in this climate with the goal of covering the entire bed with plants (to choke out the weeds LOL). Would it be better in the long run to dig out all the rocks and start from scratch? Or did the previous owners (who owned a landscaping company) know something about the soil around here (hard-packed clay) that favored leaving the layer of rock to provide drainage...or does that layer of rock store water (a form of xeriscaping perhaps?...most of the plants there now are low water use and those I've planted in the areas with thicker top soil rarely require watering)???? Should I just dump on some more top soil and leave the rocks in place? ...and if you think removing the rocks would be best, I'm wondering if digging them out by hand (and hauling them to the landfill) is the only option...seems like such a waste. Would a heavy-duty rental tiller be able to cut through those rocks and the fabric or would it just jam up?...I think if I could find a way to loosen up the entire mess I could pick/sift out enough of the rocks to reuse in another place and leave all the dirt in place. ...and I have already tried digging out the rock in a smaller bed and it was so difficult I just ended up covering it with more rock...you can't get through the clay with a shovel unless it is wet...and when it is wet, it is so sticky that it gums up the shovel...takes me about an hour to dig a hole for a 10" potted plant! Any thoughts/suggestions appreciated. moreResolved Question: Could Aspirin, Sprite, or sugar water help make a small Violet perennial plant healthier?
It's a potted plant, and it's not looking too well. I don't really do plants, but I'm trying to save it. I broke up the soil because it was all dried up close to the roots, and gave it extra water, and right now I'm outside in the sun with it because normally we have it in our living room with no direct sunlight. moreResolved Question: Can you plant perinnials in pots?
Can you plant perennial flowers in pots for example carnation plants or do they have to be planted in a flower bed? moreResolved Question: Container plants for front door ?
I have two large container pots by my front door . I want to plant a perennial plant that blooms all summer and will not get to big . Just a little something by the steps to add color . Something I will not have to replant every year . Right now I think a red pintos or little plum . Pleae give me some other plant to chose from . moreResolved Question: What is a long lasting perennial for a flower pot?
I live an apartment and have a limited area for planting. I have a few planter boxes hanging up and I would really like to have a bloom all summer. Perennial would be nice to have for next year, but I will plant annuals if they stay bloomed all summer. moreResolved Question: What kind of plant would you recommend for this situation?
I would like to put a plant on a dock in the middle of a lake. I would like a vine type plant that will grow over the sides and down onto the surface of the water. It needs to be tough and a perennial. I'm in zone 7. It will be in full sun all day....actually, full sun plus the reflection from the water. I would really like a plant that could survive a drought by sucking up water from the branches that have reached the water, saving me a trip by boat or swimming out to water the plant. I have a very large pot, so that should be an occasional event anyway. I'm primarily interested in attractive foliage, but flowers would be an added bonus. What kind of plant would you recommend for this, and why? moreResolved Question: What perennial medicinal herbs grow well in full shade?
I would like to grow medicinal herbs, but so far my efforts have failed. I live in an apartment and need to grow them inside. There are only two windows that I could put them by, one of which never gets direct sun, and the other has sun heavily filtered through a tree. I bought a full-spectrum light bulb to aid in their sunlight needs, but this doesn't seem to be helping much. I don't have the extra cash to get any fancier than that. I have tried mint, lemon balm, chive, basil, gotu kola, sage, and thyme. I think that I just need to try and grow perennial medicinal herbs that prefer full shade and are hard to kill. Could anyone list for me medicinal herbs that thrive in full shade? I would prefer herbs that aren't root-based in their medicinal properties (such as ginger) as I don't want to dig up my potted plants! moreResolved Question: What I am gonna do? I want to keep my perennial plants with me if ever I move from this apartment!?
I live in an apartment complex that has allowed me to create a small raised bed in front of my patio on the ground floor, where there is not enough light for the complex apartment to grow. I am growing from seed a large variety of shade plants, and I am going to transplant them in the raised bed I am going to build this Spring. Maybe I worry too much, but I am the kind of person that when he starts something, he grows feelings with that thing, and does not want to leave it. So I already know that I will not want to leave my little plants alone or throw them away because I have to move out one day. What do you suggest I should do? I was thinking maybe I can make pots of these plants when I will have to move...I have these plants: Foxglove Columbine Astilbe Anemone Sylvestris (Windflower) Anemone Japonica (Japanese Anemone) (this is the one I will be so sorry to leave behind!) Bergenia Toad Lily (Trycirtis Hirta) Lupine Tuberous Begonia (a lot of these) Monkshood Polemonium Lobelia Cardinalis Lamium I also have other plants such as Hellebores, Hardy Cyclamen, and Autumn Crocus that are in two containers, but I was thinking of getting some seeds this Spring and sow them. moreResolved Question: Are any of these flowers toxic?
I discovered a really neat wildflower bomb that seems perfect for my area, but I have some concerns. I noticed lupines in the list, which are toxic to animals, and we have loads of cats roaming around. Does anybody see any other potentially toxic flowers in this list? Queen Anne's Lace, Upland White Aster Prairie Aster, Pot Marigold, Cornflower, Siberian Wallflower Shasta Daisy, Godetia, Farewell-to-Spring, Lance-Leaf Coreopsis, Plains Coreopsis, Sulphur Cosmos, Wild Cosmos, Chinese Forget-Me-Not, Wild Larkspur, Sweet William, Purple Coneflower, California Poppy, Perennial Gaillardia, Indian Blanket, Globe Gilia, Baby's Breath, Wild Annual Sunflower, Dwarf Sunflower, Dame's Rocket, Rose Mallow, Baby Snapdragon, Candytuft, Scarlet Flax, Blue Flax, Four O'Clock, Baby Blue Eyes, Evening Primrose, Red Poppy, Mexican Hat, Prairie Coneflower, Black-Eyed Susan, Gloriosa Daisy, Sweet Coneflower, None-so-Pretty If you see any, could you let me know? It's a large list and the thought of looking up toxicity on all of them is daunting! moreResolved Question: How do I preserve my Poinsettia through the winter?
I have a beautiful poinsettia in a pot from Christmas. Will I be able to keep it alive somehow, or will it die out? Are they annual or perennial? moreResolved Question: What kind of potted plant will make a good gift?
I would like to buy a potted plant for my grandfather for Christmas. He lives in Phoenix and spends much of his time at home, and I think he would enjoy having a plant to take care of and enjoy. The plant would be kept either indoors (where there is a lot of sun) our outdoors on a partially-shaded terrace. I would like to get him an interesting/beautiful perennial that can live in a pot--he has no yard to transplant it into. What kind of plant would be good to get? moreResolved Question: Are pansies perennials?
I bought a whole cart of them from lows for only 5.00. The guy who works there said that there perennial and they will come back every year. I looked at one of the tags when I got home and it said it was an annual. So then I was thinking.. hmm maybe hes wrong. But then on a few of the pots it said " Rebound pansy guaranteed to over-winter and bounce back for spring color" I'm very confused. Does this mean they wont bloom next year? moreResolved Question: How do I care for a potted perennial plant over the winter?
I have a few potted perennial plants which are sun lovers. Unfortunately, I was not able to place them in the ground during the summer due to a public water line being put in. I don't know what to do with them. We live in Northeast US so temperatures will drop below freezing. Currently, I am keeping them indoors to await the spring. However, I am afraid of the sun issue. They are sun lovers so I need to know what to do with them. moreResolved Question: Is it OK to move perennial plants at this time of year? I have some that are too close to each other?
I was able to grow flowering plants in a church yard area this year and as always seems to happen I planted more things than there was room for, so now I'd like to take some of the perennials and relocate them, possibly even into pots so that I would know where they are next spring. Is it a bad idea to do that? I've had bad luck with planting tulip bulbs in pots and leaving them outdoors because they tend to rot. I want to relocate some columbine and lychnis plants so they'll be in better locations next spring and not crowded together I live in New York City and wanted to move some perennials around so that they will be more spread out next spring when they come up. I have columbine and lychnis plants and am considering placing some in pots as well as other places in the ground. Would it be a bad idea to leave them in pots outdoors where the temperature freezes? I know it doesn't work with tulip bulbs because I've tried that in the past and they tend to rot because they don't get the proper drainage that keeps them from rotting. I would appreciate any advice on the best way to move them at this time of year moreResolved Question: what's best; leaving potted perennials outside in the pots, bring into the garage or the basement over winter?
I've got all sizes of pots and different species of plants - I've read they can be brought into the unheated garage near a window (do I still water them); into a heated part of the house (like a basement) or just leave them in the pots outside? I've got lily of the valley, hostas, small redbud trees (10-12"), daylillies, forsythia, ferns and some others that I don't even know exactly what they are. Obviously I can't bring them ALL inside, but I could spread them out; some outside, some in the garage and some in the basement - but how do I know what to do? moreResolved Question: How do I care for perennial bulbs in the autumn?
I planted spring perennial bulbs, and am wondering what to do to care for them over the winter. Should I dig them up and pot them inside, or just leave them in the ground to let them reseed themselves? Sorry if this seems like a dumb question, but I have a bit of a brown thumb. moreResolved Question: Can I plant out perennials now?
I have grown some Echinecia and Aubretia indoors and they've come on really well. I planted them in late July and have had them indoors on a windowsill in 8cm pots. I would like them to flower next year. I live in the north of England, so temperatures can dip below freezing in winter. Should I plant them out now - or keep them inside until late Spring? moreResolved Question: What plants can you grow in a pot or window box?
I do not have a green thumb.I have killed every plant I have ever had including cactus which is considered hard to kill. I think I may water them a little too much or not enough sun.I do not drown them but must use too much. I have also tried growing things from kits that are 'guaranteed to grow' with no luck.I ended up with one small tomato and a couple tiny strawberries.No luck outside either.Tomatoes and bulb flowers but cant remember what they were. I watered and weeded but literally nothing ever came up whatsoever. I now live in an upstairs apartment and have no yard to try a garden.Are there seeds,bulbs or vegetables you can grow in a pot indoors or one of those window boxes outdoors? I have only ever heard people starting them in one or transplanting ones they bought in a store and have never heard if someone can do vegetables that way. Do perennials only work in the ground? I dont even mind trying ones I would have to replant each year as long as I can start and keep them in the pot/box.I dont have anyone to ask who has know how of gardening.I also dont want to look like an idiot if the answer is what I think it is.:-) moreResolved Question: Why is my columbine not blooming?
I have an Aquilegia vulgaris Clementine dark purple that I got in early May. I planted it in a pot with another perennial. My columbine is actually getting very big foliage, but it has literally zero blooms on it. I fertilize it once a week and it has good drainage. Have I done something wrong to make it not bloom? moreResolved Question: Can anyone tell me what kind of flower this is?
I think its in the Cereopsis family, but I'm not sure. It kind of looks like Cereopsis and Cosmos had a baby. Its about 2 - 2 1/2 feet tall and the same around, and the stems and leaves are very thin. Its another one that I got off the sale rack at Lowe's cause it wasn't watered. No tag, no others left on the shelf, and no one could tell me what it was. All I know is the pot said it supposed to be a perennial. Thanks in advance. http://www.flickr.com/photos/40318430@N03/3729390232/ (Sorry its not a very good pic... I didn't realize til now how many dying ones were in there.) No, its not a cone flower. :( I have 3 different kind of cone flowers, its nothing like those. These flowers are much smaller... only about 1 1/2 inches across, I probably should have put that above. I took the picture close up. And the stems and leaves are much thinner than cone flower, they kind of remind me of grass. No, not Cosmos either... Cosmos have fern looking leaves, this doesn't, and its less than half as tall as my Cosmos. I wish I could take a better picture of the foliage. It looks like very, very thin grass and the stems are no bigger around than a tooth pick. Yeppers meanolmaw... that's it. Also kind of looks like American Dream like steven_bos27 said. Those look lighter though, but that could all be lighting. moreResolved Question: Which perennials do well in Southern California?

I was supposed to sow my perennial seeds by mid June, I am 2 weeks late, but I got some seed starting soil to put on the top layer of potting soil, but what I need to know is about shade and sun.

Okay, so I have 2 pink Hybrid Lilies that I bought from Home Depot for my mother the day before Mother's Day. Each had a flower or two and a few buds. We split them up (They were both in one pot.) and planted them in separate beds. After a few weeks the blooms had wilted and died. I kept the stalks hoping that more blooms would appear but it just sits there plain as ever. I've noticed that the leaves are slowly turning brown form the bottom up. (Very Slowly.) So I would just like to know if they bloom like tulips. They bloom once and die away for the next year. OR If they died only because it's the first year the bulbs had sprouted. moreResolved Question: Overwintering perennials in zone 5 in pots?

Hi, I recently went to the Botanical Garden and purchase a Lupine in a small pot. No flowers just the green leaves. I know it is a perennial plant and that's one of the reasons I bought it. There was no at garden give me info on the plant . I did some web research and it seems it may be for gardens. I just wanted to grow something pretty in my balcony since i only have a backyard and will not be able to enjoy its beauty. I just re potted it . Not a big pot ,it still hasn't bloomed . It looks healthy .and has grown since I purchased I on Mother's day. What should I do when in blooms. Can it survive in a pot ? or is it strictly for open spaces. I don't want to have to plant it in the backyard if I don't have to. Any info would be greatly appreciated. should I put in a big pot now, as to give it room to grow? I know it looks a little taller and there is no sign of blooms yet. Or should I wait till a bud comes out. I was thinking give it room to grow now that it is still small. What do you think? moreResolved Question: What can I to keep moisture in my potted plants?
In my perennial garden, I have 2 red clay flower pots. I put a few annuals in these to add color when nothing else is blooming.

What can I add to hold the moisture in, besides wood chips or leaves etc. Something hopefully nice looking. moreResolved Question: Calandiva not looking well...can it be saved?
I bought a beautiful Calandiva(it's like a Kalanchoe) last year. The plant tag said for indoor or out door use. I had it on my deck in a large pot all summer then I brought it in for the winter. Now I want to put it back outside but all the leaves keep falling off, They are falling off before they get anywhere near the size they are supposed to be. Also some of the branches are falling off too. Some of the branches and leaves have dry looking spots, almost like they are being damaged from the inside. So I'm wondering if it could have some kind of bug kind of like the ones that tend to go after the Columbine Plant and attack it from the inside. Or is it just not meant to last longer than it has. The plant tag doesn't say if it is annual or perennial. Is it worth trying to save, or should I just toss it out and go buy a new one for this year? Thanks, in advance for any and all suggestions. moreResolved Question: I live in zone 4 very cold in the winter, will a perennial survive in a pot if it is completely covered?

My mom came up to visit and while she was here bought me a very pretty hibiscus. It didn't have one of those cards with care instructions with it and I know nothing about them.

I live in the western part of the state too, but more central then southern, a little north of Pittsburgh. moreResolved Question: Crazy tenant want to control our property!!!!?
I have this tenat that wants to decide how and when to do the gardening. Our garden even when it not the most beautiful is something very personal and we enjoy taking care of it but one day I found her cleaning, seeding, and emptying my pots (with perennials) because according to her we do it wrong and she knows how to do it. She even suggested to get the rent lowered for that. In addition, she lets her kids play and break my waterliles, step and the new buds, and cut the flowers. When we told her that we prefered to take care of the garden ourselves she started arguing and being rude. I live in the building and we have never offered the garden as a common area. And everytime (not often) her kids play she lets them do what they want, stepping on my buds, pulling my waterliles, and cutting my flowers. If I ask her not to let them do it she gets all offended and aggressive. What should we do? Are we too controlling? moreResolved Question: Potted plant suggestions for apartment balcony?
My new apartment has a rather large balcony that's shared with my neighbor, there's a rail separating the two, but... does anyone have some suggestions as to larger potted plants I could place to add a little more separation?

I have a long narrow flower bed along the entire back wall (south wall) of my house that is completely empty. This bed gets long hours of hot Texas sun and adjoins my swimming pool deck, so the plants should not be messy, drop a lot of petals, leaves and should not have sharp or pointy leaves, thorns, etc. I would like ideas for tropical, colorful plants that would be good to plant here. The bed is only a couple feet wide, so plants that would not grow too wide would be great. I was thinking of a small palm (if there is such a thing), hibiscus, but would also like to plant some perennials. Dianthus are really the only perennial flowers that have consistently done well in this spot. There is a sprinkler system and I will put bark mulch in the bed. I also have a couple large pots that will be placed on the pool deck and would like ideas for colorful plants to go in those, but they must be draught tolerant because plants in pots dry out very quickly here. moreResolved Question: Need help starting a new flower box.?
It has that straw-y stuff as a lining. Now what... I don't think I'm supposed to put potting soil right on top of that. I'm planting a wild flower mix of annuals and perennials. moreResolved Question: how can i keep my easter lilies in the pot and still have it bloom the next year?
my mom and i bought an easter lily about 3 days ago. one flower has begun to open. i know they are perennials, but after the flower is done blooming and i keep it in the pot, will it bloom again next year? i cant plant it in our garden because no one will care for it when i leave for the summer, because its outside. so that's why i want to keep it inside the house. we put it in a place were there's lots of sun too. oh, i live in PA, if that helps any. so my question is, how can i keep my easter lily in the pot and have it bloom again next year? moreResolved Question: What summer blooming plant can I keep in the same pot with an hellebore?
I am so excited that I finally got my hellebore seeds to germinate after so many months of waiting! I know it's very early to think about bringing my newborn hellebores in their own container and it will be a chore I will only do next year, but I really can't help but wondering what plants can be planted together so that it is possible to enjoy the bloom not only during the winter, but also during the spring/summer. I was thinking of Daylilies. But don't they have too much of a foliage production in your opinion? Then I would also have to divide the bulbs in the Fall. For this reason I would like to know whether going to dig the ground in the pot in order to take out the eventually overcrowded Daylily bulbs would harm the hellebore root system. Otherwise what other perennial plants could I try that would not totally shade the hellebore foliage in a container? Thank you so much! Maybe gladiolus? moreResolved Question: Clay pots or plastic for overwintered plants?
I want to plant some perennials in pots in the ground and let them sit a couple years in the ground in zone 5. I know I can do this with plastic pots, but would clay work without breaking? Which is better- clay or plastic? moreMore Perennial Potted Results
