| I just planted two new Annabelles today. They're maybe 2 feet high. I've read about supporting them so that they stay upright once they have flowers on them--is that necessary this year? I'm assuming I won't get many flowers or major growth until next year--is that true?
For those who made suggestions on my last post about not overcrowding them, thanks--I planted one in front and one in back. I am glad to have had the advice. |

| I planted 1 last year for Mom's Day - this beautiful lady is a fairly good grower & bloomer. She came in a #3 pot - a good headstart. The buds that came with weren't as large as the ones formed after setting in her home. I had to drive a couple of stakes for support, as we had a weird year of rain. Corralling with stakes & jute strings/nylon hose, may not be a bad idea when you see several bud clusters forming! My Lady is so huge now that I had to re-do her wire fence to a wider circumference - you could hardly tell the cage is there, with all the growth thru the fencing! Best wishes & happy season! €:) |
