Hallson Gardens

I'm gonna do that in a few weeks too. I know that there are a couple reds mixed in with some orange ones. I was going to do it after they bloomed last year but I wasn't sure which ones to move. When they bloom, I'll be able to see which fans need to be moved. I'm planning to loosen things up with a ...

Does this look like Southern Blight? Notice the "snow" under the hosta? http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7448/9158990746_2900635553.jpg DSC_20130628_070106 by jerryshenk , on Flickr Here's a closer shot: http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3753/9158988330_5091476554.jpg DSC_20130628_070128 by jerryshenk , on...

Thanks - that confirms what I suspected.

You can divide them any time....you can't hardly kill 'em;)

At least that's been my experience with the more prolific varieties. I don't have any really fancy hybrids - I think the multiply slower. I like to wait till the blooms are past but it doesn't seem like that will kill them.

Update: These things don't seem to be propagating themselves. I initially planted one and then the following summer planted 2 more. The 3rd year (this year), the initial plant did not come back. There is mulch around them so I guess that could hinder reseeding but it is fairly thin. I did not deadhe...

I too have heard that some things won't grow under black walnuts - daylilies don't seem to be one of those things;) They seem to grow quite well. Most of the trees have about a 3' wide band of lush laylilies. I really don't see much difference between the daylilies planted around the pecan, black wa...

My wife and I have this discussion at least a couple times a week. She wanted a "hosta garden" with nothing else in it so 2 years ago, we started it. We tried to space things based on future growth so that each plant would be it's own "mound" but they would overlap just a little. Right in the middle...

Thanks for all the advice. It seems like killing iris is pretty difficult so I should be ok;) I think I'll let the leaves along except for removing dead ones. There are other plants around to "take the spotlight". I moved a clump last year and I guess I planted it too deep - it didn't bloom at all b...

We have two large clumps of iris that probably haven't been split in 20 years...or 30. They are flowering but I think they would flower more if they were split. I'm thinking of digging them all up in August, removing the older rhizomes and any that look bad (not sure what that means;) and then putti...

They are currently in a rather abandoned, shady area. The flowers are small...smaller than any of the example images I could find...probably .5-.75" vs. 1.5-2" in. That may be because of general neglect (lack of pruning and competing weeds) and the fact that they don't get enough sun. Is that a reas...

Honeysuckle? Pink? wow, I'll look into that...quite surprised!

Does anybody know what this is? http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7405/8726712024_e67e0c947d.jpg IMAG0119 by jerryshenk , on Flickr We've lived here for about 3 years. This is in an overgrown area that I believe was once a garden. It's an area with filtered sunlight - big, nicely spaced nut trees mostly...

Glad to hear they all showed up. We just had the last one show up yesterday...my wife was sure it wasn't coming back. What's this water/vinegar slug treatment? We have some slug bait but I'd rather go with something that isn't gonna kill a bird that eats a slug (assuming birds eat them, don't really...

I'll be watching this thread too to see what the experts at this recommend.

That's an interesting idea...that one black walnut tree without a "daylily ring" now has the start of one. I'm curious how long it will take to catch up to the others. We do have some serviceberry bushes, perhaps daffodils around those would be a good idea. Currently, we just mow as close as we can ...

The trees are all bare at the bottom....first branches are generally over 20' high. And, they are nut trees so they don't have a heavy shade canopy...more filtered sunlight.

Yeah, I'm sure more sun would help the daylilies....but those trees aren't coming down;) They are just huge trees. We love the "filtered shade" they provide...even though they limit the daylilies. Out by the river, there are a couple patches of daylilies that get pretty much solid sun. We're probabl...

Well, I split some this weekend...took a small clump that didn't have any flowers or buds. It was clump that was farthest away from the walk (into the yard). I'm guessing it had been consistently mowed over by the former owner. I was suprised to find that there were 32 bulbs. I decided to move them ...

How would daylilies and daffodils work when planted in the same space? We recently moved to a property with about 20 large pecan, black walnut and chestnut trees that all have a ring of daylilies around them. These rings are 2-3' thick. These were planted many years ago (over 20 I'm sure, possibly 4...

So, with the ones that I plan to split this year, should I'll just do it now for the clumps that aren't flowering at all and immediately after the flowers fade for the clumps that do have a few flowers. Thanks. How long does it take for daffodil bulbs to mature (assuming adequate space and nutrients)?
