When dividing plants in the fall, time it for four to six weeks before the ground freezes for the plants roots to become established.Perennials with fleshy roots such as peonies ( Paeonia spp.), Oriental poppy ( Papaver orientale) and Siberian iris ( Iris siberica) are best divided in the fall.It is easy to locate the plants that need dividing.There is less gardening work to do in the fall compared with spring.Plants divided in spring have the entire growing season to recover before winter.ĭivide spring and summer blooming perennials in the fall because.Rain showers that generally come along with the early season are helpful.Plants have stored up energy in their roots that will aid in their recovery.Smaller leaves and shoots will not suffer as much damage as full-grown leaves and stems.You can start seeds indoors as early as six weeks before the last.
Summer Division It's not advisable to dig and move your coneflowers in summer. For most coneflowers this will be sometime in April. When moving coneflowers in the spring, wait until new shoots sprout from the soil. New growth is emerging and it is easier to see what you are doing. It takes about six weeks for coneflowers to grow from seed to a transplant-ready seedling. Spring days also tend to be cool and cloudy - perfect weather for transplanting.Just be sure your new plants have at least 6 weeks to establish roots before the first expected frost or they might not come back in the spring.

Your neighbor's plant is the most bizzarre thing I've seen in the garden.Daylilies have a fleshy root. Maybe if I get some time this winter I'll read up about pollination, I'm still betting it has something to do with that. I don't know if any of you are Heuchera fans, but the same thing goes for all these new cultivars of Heuchera, none will grow true to seed if you save the seeds and try to grow them. Although, I still think that I have some of the mother plants - and I see my neighbor's too - that seem to be changing color. You might want to leave them in the.40 posts Its almost August and I just moved some coneflowers from IA to MO. I believe I did lose plants and had their seedlings in there instead. Since the plants are in shock, Id keep them out of direct sun for a few days, maybe even a couple weeks. I had many Sundowns that were deformed in either leaf, flower - or both. That's why, and this happened to me with Sundown, if bad tissue culture is used you get a funky looking plant in both leaf and flowering - it has happened alot in the Big Sky Series. Spring Division Spring is another good time to dig and move coneflowers. with these new cultivars - from what I understand, they are created using tissue culture from different plants so the seedlings will not be true when dropped - they will be the regular purple coneflower. Typically, this will be some time in late September through October in zones 3 through 10. We have the opposite, tiny little (as in hair, not size)shorthaired dogs - German Shorthaired Pointers.Īnyway, about the coneflowers. Han's glamour shot is adorable, looks just like the doggy version of the People Glamour Shots (do they even have any of those places anymore?) That picture could be a contest winner! Collies are one of the most beautiful dogs, I think. Those are some great pictures of your kids! St.
