I love my Crimson Tears

16 years ago

I was getting sporadic blooms until about two weeks ago and now it's going crazy. I counted 27 blooms this morning and there's probably at least that many on my neighbor's side of the fence. There's clusters of blooms scattered along about 25' of the fence and the color is so pretty. This one is blooming almost as much as my Lavender Lady and the flowers are much nicer, IMO

Wow, Karyn. Those are gorgeous! My CT is too small to flower this year, but I'm definitely looking forward to the spring!

I love it too! What a nice flush. That's it! I'm gonna go buy that one lol. So much for not buying any more plants lmao...Does it have a fragrance?

Do any of you get hummingbirds on your passies? It seems that the hummingbirds here like the LL and P_Jeannette blooms, they always find the newly opened flowers before I do...I just follow the birds.

I get more butterflies and bees then hummers on the passies. The hummers are going crazy over the Cape Honeysuckle right now. I got that passie in the late spring. It was a good size when it arrived but has grown like crazy. I probably have 30' of vine coming from that plant. As a matter of fact I can't figure out where it's actually planted. It's a shame that I'll have to cut it back soon to get it inside : (
