I'm doing pots with all white flowers this year......?
doing a 'color scheme' this year and have decided on white....thinking of planting the following in pots:
white caladium (sp)
white petunias
white pansies
allysium
white geraniums
white nicotina
white daisies
any other ideas for pots with white flowers???
I'm doing pots with all white flowers this year......?
Another variety of white flowers to consider is jasmine. Many are night blooming, and they smell very sweet.
Another favorite is stephanotis, which also has a very sweet scent. It likes to grow on a trellis, but can be contained to a pot so long as it has something to climb.
I imagine your garden will look absolutely fantastic in the moonlight. Happy gardening.
Reply:Allow me to ask this question - is the world black and white or numerous colors? Does IceCream only come in Vanilla?
Do you wear all white to work daily?
A single pot of all white would be nice and different, however, it would stand out if it has a contrast. If there were three pots I would plant the white geraniums. Long lasting, hardy and minimum maint. On either side I would fill a pot with a deep red geranium. Put the white either in front of or below the red to make the white a focal point.
The petunias and daisy are not all white. Nicotina is nice but high maint. Allysium is basically a spring flower. Go with the Geraniums. Again, low maintenance and feed. Pinch every Saturday.
Reply:Stocks, dianthus, thrift, flocks, verbena, gerbera daisies.
Reply:i don't know if they make them white.. but begonias are very pretty.. and do you have a spot with a pot that is near a trellis or can you build one that way? because whats very pretty is moon-flower.. it blooms at night... its the white morning glory...
Calla Lilly?
lillys of the valley.. very fragrant..
mini white rose bushes.. the small ones .... they don't take over like regular rose bushes.
mini white carnations plants
white snap dragons?
do they make white peonies?

Does anyone know if you are suppoosed to dead head gerber daisies?
I have many other plants, including petunias and geraniums, I usually pick off the dead flowers on those plants, but I am unsure what to do with the gerbers. Thanks to anyone that can enlighten me....
Does anyone know if you are suppoosed to dead head gerber daisies?
This is funny.. I just came inside from dead-heading my flowers. Including Gerber daisies. Just a tip: rather than pick off the dead flowers, actually pinch off the flower and the stem. It will stimulate spreading and flowering.
Gerber daisies are prolific, and will come back, year after year. Many flowers that are considered "annuals" will come back if, in the fall, you just shake the plant. Yep, just shake it. This will scatter the seeds. Just don't get too anxious in the spring to clean up your flower beds, until you can identify the flowers that are coming up.

.............Deadhead daisies?................
just cutting off the flowers will leave an ugly plant with stems sticking out..you don't want that! Cut back the flowering stems all the way into foliage. They should rebloom
Reply:Im not to sure they are to be deadheaded? I had some too, and did deadhead and never got any more regrowth?
Reply:Treat a gerber the same way that you would treat a petunia. It's cool. They are georgeous, aren't they?
Reply:Yes, otherwise they go to seed. When they are dead-headed, they continue to expend their energy in producing blooms.

Care for Osteospermums (Cape Daisies)???
I've always grown these in pots on my porch and I've never been sure about what to do with the dead blooms. Do I cut them off, or leave them on? I always snap off the dead blooms from my geraniums and I didn't know if the same applied to the Cape Daisies.
Care for Osteospermums (Cape Daisies)???
When I grew them a few years ago, I deadheaded them. They bloomed beautifully all summer.Unless it's the end of the season and you're hoping for volunteer seedlings the following year, most flowers should be deadheaded to encourage additional blooms.

Will my plants come back after freeze?
We just had record lows here in So. Cal and my geraniums, potato tree,sage,butterfly bush, and birds of paradise all look dead. Will they come back?
Will my plants come back after freeze?
Don't fertilize them. The plants are stressed and fertilizing them in that state is another stress. It will hurt more than help. Some of them are pretty fragile as far as temp is concerned. The one's Calla mentioned shoud definitely make it. If the roots are undamaged there's a good chance the others will come back. The only way you'll know for sure is to wait. Don't overwater--you don't want to stress the roots. You can fertilize lightly when you see new growth.
Reply:Check the roots, if they are fine, they will come back when weather gets better. When you get that weather, fertilize them slightly mostly with nitrogen and phosphorous (you can use commercial mixture like 9-45-15, 0.002lbs/plant each time you irrigate them). Don′t water them heavily try frequently instead. Until you get betters weather just water them slightly also...good luck
Reply:The sage and butterfly bush will come back as I live in Ontario,Canada and mine come back every year. I do not know about your other plants, but don't do anything yet leave them and see, hopefully they will. You can cover them with plastic or burlap. I hope they come back for you.
Reply:The sage and butterfly bush will, not sure about the others, don't cut them off yet, wait till spring.
Reply:I had the same problem with my plants here in AZ. I was told by the nursery that they should come back as long as I fertilize them well now and again in the spring. I'm a beginner so I'm curious how others will answer your question. Good luck!

Sapling removal?
How do I remove a sapling that is too close to the house? It looks like a squirrel may have buried a nut there...I couldn't dig it up, so I have been cutting it down every year %26amp; it keeps growing back. Is there something I can inject in the trunk to kill it? It is growing up through my rose bush and geraniums and it right up against the house. Thanks!
Sapling removal?
if you have any old paint around the house next time you cut it down paint the entire trunk.
Reply:depending on the size, cut the sappling down low to the ground and apply concentrated Round-up or Brush Be Gone on the exposed "stump". This is if digging it up isn't possible.
