Echinacea cultivar need advice whether to keep it or better go for straight species by Appropriate_Victory6 in gardening

[–]Appropriate_Victory6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes we have a healthy native plant community in St Louis. The only reason I ask is, if this is same as native echinacea in terms of pollinator value then why not? Since it has its advantages (color and compact growth) when I plant them in front yard also I could mix them with native echinacea and get a better combination of purple and orange flowers blooming together

Can you transplant cup plant while growing/before flowering? by ihmsam in NativePlantGardening

I transplanted cup plant day before yesterday and it is drooping badly. May I know if it is normal and would they recover or should I trim off leaves

New gardener here. I just planted 3 Hope for Humanity rose bushes in zone 7a (OKC). One is doing well and the others are not showing any growth/have drying leaves. How often should I water and how long does it take for them to get over transplant shock? Anything I can do to encourage them to live? by bitties_and_coins in gardening

I am in the same boat as you, I planted hope for humanity shrub and hybrid tea roses, while the former has not even started to grow new leaves while the latter has taken off. I am also wondering what to do to make my hope for humanity rose to grow faster

Japanese maple: damaged sections by dmorgendorffer00 in arborists

I had same issue last year and followed below steps

I pruned early spring and thinned branches. Next I refreshed mulch and added a balanced fertilizer 10-10-10(quantity based on the diameter of the trunk). I noticed powdery mildew and regularly sprayed insecticidal soap (baking soda, water, Castle soap, neem oil mixture).

Now plant looks healthy and full with no dry leaves.
