    Dead wood Hydrangea pruning

    It's been awhile since I've posted, and I have asked a similar question in the past, but I'm unsure of the specifics. I just need to make sure that I am completely clear on this. If you have Hydrangeas that bloom on dead wood, is there any pruning that should be done in the spring? Do I cut...

    Holly bush issues

    Another year begins! I've been assisting a senior citizen friend with her yard for three years. During that time, I have been battling a black fungus/mold. It's been difficult but I thought we had it under control last year. I haven't paid any attention to her bushes this past winter. Yesterday...

    Knockout Roses winterizing

    Does anyone have any experience with Knockout roses? I'm getting all kinds of conflicting information on what to do with these things. There are four in total that need to be trimmed back for the winter. I've also heard/read that they should be brought inside but I don't know if that means a...

    Deadwood Hydrangea winterizing

    We've already determined that a friend of mine has three hydrangeas that shouldn't be cut down at the end of the year (deadwood?). My question is how to winterize them. I don't think she has ever done anything for any of her hydrangeas. Three of them have only bloomed the first year she planted...

    "Yummy" plant identification

    I have two dogs that both have sensitive stomachs. When they start to have issues, they immediately head to this plant to have a snack. Any idea what it is? My mom called it "bee balm" for a long time but then I saw something called bee balm in a nursery and it wasn't the same. Thanks...

    Hydrangeas blooming issues

    A friend of mine has a few hydrangeas around her property. One of them blooms every year with no problems. Another was added last year and seems to be producing a few blossoms right now. The problem is that the other three never bloom. I did some research last year and read that some hydrangeas...

    Delphinium issues

    Today's my day for posts. This is number two of three total questions. My mom bought a delphinium that she planted in a full sun location. I read that they do not like full sun and it started to show it so I attempted to dig it up and put it in a pot with some fresh potting soil until we could...

    Hydrangea dying

    My mother has a hydrangea that is dying. It survived the frosty nights we had about a month ago here in Michigan but the blooms were damaged so she cut them way back. The plant started to show signs of recovery as small leaves were sprouting. Unfortunately, the place that she had originally...

    Delphinium "sprouts" for lack of a better word

    A friend has what she thinks is a delphinium. I haven't verified this yet as its leaves are different from the one I just bought my mom. Of course, different varieties, different leaves. Anyway, last year I noticed that there were a couple of single sprouts coming up that were away from the...

    Tree identification

    A friend has this tree/bush in her backyard. It was a gift and she's wondering what it is. Her son said they use the branches of it in flower shops. I hope these photos are good enough to tell what it is. The branches are curly, some more than others. Thanks...

    Hollyhocks issue

    I keep finding these problems all over my friend's yard. Here's what her Hollyhocks are currently looking like. I'm sure you know what it is and how to treat it so I'll just say the THANKS at this point! Matt http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s365/mfsinger/IMG_0495.jpg...

    Weed or not?

    I am so glad I found this forum but I'm starting to feel like a pain. I'm not a gardener but I play one (not on tv though). Anyway, my friend wanted a bunch of lillys removed from one of her extremely full and overcrowded beds. There's a bunch of different things crammed in here and I'm not sure...

    Recommended fungicide for black sooty mold

    What fungicide should I use to control the black sooty mold now that the scale has been treated? I'm hoping that it will also control the powdery looking mold "stuff" that grows on one of her other plants every year. I'm not sure what the name of that plant is but it gets a white powdery...

    Another Holly bush issue

    I took these photos of my mom's holly bush a few days ago. It's obviously got an issue. I'm also wondering if there's something I need to do to give it a growth boost. It hasn't really grown much in the past few years. It's pretty pathetic actually. I'm not sure if it's location or soil PH or...

    Holly bush disease of some sort

    A couple of people I know have an issue with their holly bushes and I can't find a decent answer. I should take some photos and post them when I have a moment. The bush has this black "stuff" covering parts of it's branches. I don't see it on the leaves nor is there any sign of damage to them...

    What kind of bush is this?

    This bush/tree belongs to a senior citizen friend of mine and I think she wants to get another one. The problem is that no one seems to know what it is. It's extremely fragrant if that helps at all. We live in Michigan but I doubt that matters much other than possibly varieties. Thanks...

    Questions about identifying an item

    I just joined the forum today so I apologize in advance if I do something wrong. I have a question about a bush/tree that a senior citizen friend of mine owns. She has no idea what it is and can't seem to find anyone locally that might know. I was hoping to post a link to some photos and see if...
