Hallson Gardens

I plant spring bulbs, Asiatic Lilies, and Oriental lilies with my daylilies. I liked the design because the daylily leaves cover the foilage of the bulbs and I always have blooms in the area. I even go one step further. I plant zinna seeds around the daylilies so I have blooms into the fall coming u...

-Vick salve rubbed around the bottom half of the pot.

-Cheap Avon cologne sprayed on a piece of cotton or cloth wrapped around the bottom of the pot.

- liquid soaked Peppermint cotton balls.

Not an expert. But my ritual is......Spread epsom salt, unused coffee grounds, miracle gro acidic fert. Because it is our rainy season I just spread these things dry through the garden. Top all that off with leaf mold that I gathered from last fall.

Please update if it works. I get herds that come to my garden to feast. I have tried everything from 8' fence, to lights, and water sprays. They still manage to ignore everything and come to eat my gardens down. I get so discouraged sometime.

I forgot about that one. I had it for 5 years it was slow and late to rise I thought it might need more shade. I moved it to more shade and it died.

I hope your return it is a pretty little thing.

Happy planting. I have picked up several locally as I find them. The larger plant give me better survival. I have not had many survive that I have ordered. They are just to small. My local nursery sell gallon size for 7.00.

I know this is a old post but if you re still looking for name it looks like Circus.

plantaholic, yes I got all the plants moved. It was not easy. I had so many hostas and even some bushes that I could not bring myself to just cut down so I dug them up also and put them in temp beds until I could get the garden areas ready for them.

Last year we had a scorching hot Summer and a mild winter. With such strange weather for my area I have had good success with my Hercs. Also, with the advise from Chris and many here I think I have found the right soil and place to have success. They are now in my semi-Shady, garden that because of ...

I do not know either. I have been trying to grow roses for years and have only had success with a few. I would get a hose and give is a good shower. Give is some shade put up a tent. I have sprayed mine with Raid one time and the leaves started to dry up and rot. That is how stupid I am. lol I hosed...

I wish you could send me some of your rain. My Hercs all survived the Winter so I am doing the happy dance.

I have not seen Rio in person yet but saw it on the net. I will see if my local Nursery gets it. They bring in 3 new ones every year now.

Thanks Pia, Chris I never water this time of year because of all our Spring rain. I did put both of them in a dry area so maybe they will be Okay. It is in the driveway bed that I am trying to get some color and the deer do not seem to want to eat geranium. I never cut my roots either. I dig a hole ...

Pia do you know which one you purchased? I purchased both that Chris had. Dark Reiter and Elizabeth Ann. I put them both in a dry bed that gets about 4 hours of sun.

Yep Chris did sent a bonus plant....The bonus plant was June Fever JGH, All of these I had at my old house and since I knew I could buy them from Chris I did not bother to dig them up. They are being sold with the house. There are just some oldies but goodies you just have to have. I know people lik...

I received my order yesterday. It is the first of my crazy winter orders. As usual Chris the roots are massive. I have posted on all the forums that I go to and singing the praises for Hallson. If word of mouth helps I am trying to do my part you should get all the praise people can give. Thank you....

That is too funny Chris. That is a problem we love and I always get that problem when I order from you.

Close to the house it could be the rabbits. They are eating the ones close to my house and the deer are taking care of my other Hostas.

My heart is breaking. I have tried everything they think Liquid Fence is salad dressing on the salad.

I would like to throw in another observation that soil may also make the difference. I do not have the money to invest in some of the newer blues so most of what I have are older ones that I have had for years. When I moved I dug up most of my hostas and Halcyon and June were my stand ins for my des...

Thank you George, I know I cannot do anything compared to what I have seen of your gardens but I am going to try to give it the flavor.

Right now I am doing research.

He also had a very good interview this week and was told he was the "top candidate to date" for the position, with a starting salary about 20% more than he was making. :D Things can happen for a reason! That is just what I was thinking. My Mom told me that "For the Better" stuff and I said "Oh Sure...
