Blossoming Questions

I am interested in planting Distyllium shrubs in Southern Utah where they are not readily available. The two varieties that I can attain are Vintage Jade and Cinnamon Girl. There is conflicting information available on the mature size. Which of these varieties can I more readily maintain at 2′ high and 4′ wide?

This summer I purchased a French Cabaret Blush hibiscus I live in Wisconsin and would like to know how to winterize it. We love it so

What do you mean by mulching in the winter time to protect the early buds. My plant is 3 foot tall- do mean mulch the top of the dirt?

Obviously I am asking this for the summer of 2021; do you have any miniature plants that I can container garden on my deck?

What zone am I in? My zip code is 30350.

Hello. Just purchased a Sweet Tea Gardenia from Lowe’s. We live in Zone 7. May I grow Sweet Tea in a large container or do you recommend in-ground? Thanks so much. We love First Editions, we have many Sapphire Surf Caryopteris and just put in five Delta Blue Chaste shrubs.

Is there any pruning to be done after the flowers die off?

When blooms die off should they be cut off or left alone?

Love hydrangeas but having a terrible time getting my shrubs to bloom They haven’t produced blooms in a few years I also bought some new ones this year and have them in containers I snipped the blooms off them when they faded and now the plants haven’t rebloomed. Would deadheading affect their ability to rebloom? I am considering leaving them in containers since I have had poor luck with my planted shrubs Any tips for containers? I desperately need some blooms!

We have a Ninebark Amber Jubilee and would like to plant it in a large pot. Will it survive this?
