Bon Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 yes, if it is a larger flower bed. If you have a small one, find the mini's. If you can't find the mini's I would dig them up about every 3 years and quarter them. They do get big as you can tell at the Small plaza by Sarvey's.

lavender Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 If you can't find it I'll make sure they have some at the Farmer's Market. I can dig it but it takes awhile for it to get established in the pot. It likes lots of sun and good drainage. If you can provide that by the side of the house it should work out. Bon, what is the plant in the lower left corner of the picture between the two rocks? My cactus is not doing well this year. It froze to mush over the winter and the rain isn't helping matters.

Victoria Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Lots of sun yes, good drainage I am not sure. I'll have to keep an eye out. Its hard to tell with all this rain we've been getting. I'll check at lowe's for them.. I think 3 mini's in about 8 feet is ok? How about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastman Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 ya shouldn't trim it till fall!!! cut it back to about 6-8 inches high I don't care, I cut whole stems off at the ground to keep the width smaller and I topped it off before it flowered, but I won't now that it has. I always cut it to the ground every fall and it comes back fine...at least it has every year so far. :-/ We got ours at Lowe's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bon Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 the pic with the skunks in it? that is sedum, it should be as big as the one behind the yucca in the second pic, but the dog keeps knocking it down. I also have a white bleeding heart right behind the little skunk on the left rock and the dog keeps that one knocked down also. The plants in the rock garden are, cactus, honeysuckle, sedum, yucca, russian sage, day lily, coral bells, minature rose bush, white bleeding heart, and the big shrubs are rose of sharon.

Yes, that is the one. Knocked down explains it. I never saw a ground hugging sedum with such big leaves. Thought maybe it was something new.

Bon Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 What is a Cucumber Tree? it's in the 3rd picture of the bank. We pulled it out tonight. Not sure if it is a cucumber or a sasafrass tree. Short fat root system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petee Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Is this it? http://www.gardenguides.com/plants/plant.asp?symbol=MAAC On the bottom left? It's definitely not a Sassafras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bon Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 thats the descrition I got last year. It hasn't gotten any flowers, but it only started growing there last summer. Now it is laying on the bank!!! We don't need a tree that tall planted in shallow ground. I could just picture the wind blowing it over onto my brand new car!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
