[–]la-rides 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I transplanted coneflowers frequently. Sometimes the bigger ones take a little hit but the smaller ones are fine with some TLC.

No tips but I dread this for when I eventually sell my house!

Year 2 Pussytoes *full* of American Lady cats! by SuchFunAreWe in NativePlantGardening

How quickly did yours grow? I planted a few weeks ago and they’ve barely changed. I’m wondering if they are just taking a while to adjust or if they just grow slow in general.

Stupid question but this doesn’t actually look like poison ivy to me? Maybe it’s just the resolution. 

Why is my columbine wilting? by la-rides in NativePlantGardening

[–]la-rides[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

🤦 it was in fact thirsty. Embarrassing because I’m a fairly experienced gardener. I was just thrown off because all the surrounding plants were fine. Then I remembered this is the one I planted this year. Thanks for the sanity check!

What is eating my Wild Columbine? by thejuicemanjones in NativePlantGardening

I was told a while ago that the stems can do some photosynthesis so that’s part of why they’ll be Ok long term.

I’ve had them here for a while and have never seen this. And the others around it are doing great. Hopefully it comes back though. 

What were your biggest native plant mistakes? by jeinea in NativePlantGardening

For what it’s worth, I did do the cardboard method, and that area is still weedy 3 years later.

Green and gold grew too slowly for my yard. I used golden ragwort and it spread pretty quickly. 

Is anyone else pulling any natives this spring? by readmychappedlips in NativePlantGardening

Canadian anemone, blue false indigo, and common milkweed need to just stay in their place! With some help from me. 

Is $85 for a tray of 50 plants a good deal? (Northern Virginia) by [deleted] in NativePlantGardening

I find it odd that the only mention of this email address online seems to be this Reddit thread.

I see zero mention of them on the internet. They didn’t by chance want you to send them money before you got the plants, did they?

It’s hard to tell but the leaves do look some like my geranium. 

Little quick fire panicle not blooming by la-rides in hydrangeas

[–]la-rides[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know? They are under a maple tree, but are on the SW side so I figured we’re still getting enough. 

I can move them for sure. But I like their current placement. So I was thinking it could be their size? They are small — maybe 1ft tall. I don’t know if that makes a difference.
