I have buds forming blooms...

Charleen, I am guessing that you can over winter brugs in GA? I wish I could I tried but lost mine. I did have luck storing one under the house. I hate fighting the gnats when I brought them in. I do miss them!!

Theresa, I have discovered a product known as Diatomaceous Earth. it is a very fine dust, I am going to try using it this year. I am hoping it will help. don't give up. Once they start blooming you will find it well worth the time ,fertilizer, and water that goes into growing them....

So you do bring them inside? I had seen one person in TN said that they wrapped the trunk with heavy burlap and mulched deeply over the roots.

I have Peanut. It is small but I would be willing to send out a cutting!

Rhapsody, did you see one of mine you wanted? I don't want you to send me one and it delete your collection...If it is too green, it may not make it...
Teresea, I am going to bring cutting into the house just to be sure I have some next year. My Brug don't start emerging from the ground til nearly May. So you know I am wondering if they will make it or not. I do mulch them with pine straw. Just got to keep chickens in pen so they don't scratch it out.
Have you all seen or heard from Elizabeth?? I looked to see if she had any new posts and didn't see anything. I will try to get over here more....

Ridesredmule, how do you apply the DE? And the proportions? Good for all bug "disposition"??? LOL

I have a duster i use. I dust it over the plants.... The DE I use is food grade, that is what they recommend. I got it at my feed store.... but I believe someone told me they found some at Walmarts too.


Got this last fall and now I got a bloom. Charles Grimaldi...
Hope this helps....

I grew Charles a few years ago. I wish they were more hardy!

He looks great so far here in Ga. I love his color... I love the colorful brugs more than the whites...

Have you grown any of the doubles with whiskers? I have only seen the pictures of those. They are stunning!

Do you have mules now? Growing up on a grain/cattle farm yrs ago my Dad had a pair of red mules. Kit and Belle. We moved when I was in first grade and he sold them both and never bought any more. I do have fond memories of them.

I will look on sunday and see how big it is.

Most of them have those Twangers or whiskers. some just more than others Teresea. ( I hope It spelled it right)
this is Pink Perfection

So pretty, how many do you grow anyway? I like the white ones too.

A bunch!!!! I have them all around me.... I'll see if I can get you a white one...Teresa.

I can take a cutting!! Let me know where to send it!

I would like to trade for a couple with roots next Spring. One that might be big enough to bloom. I have lots of other plants. You can ck my plant list here: Thanks.
