By Marie Marsden: I live in Edmonton, Alberta in Canada. Zone#3. What is the most impressively beautiful flowering perennial that can be planted in an area where it would get the morning and evening sun? I look forward to your answer.
Answer By The Flower Expert: The perennial garden flowers which are some of the most beautiful flowers and also which receive 6 to 8 hours (that means Full Sun) of direct sunlight everyday can be Lavender, Astilbe, Salvia, Artemisia, Chrysanthemum, Iris, Poppy and Japanese Anemone and Day Lilies.
By Jesse Packard: I have a question about Tiger Lilies. As silly as it sounds, I was wondering if they can evolve into a different kind of lily. The reason I ask is, I have lived where I live now as a child and now as an adult and 5 years ago and most of my life I remember and have picked Tiger lilies. I remember a few years ago even, they had semi curled orange leaves with black dots. I was out with my kids picking wild flowers and noticed that these once spotted flowers, are a dull orange with a hint of a yellow stripe on the pedals. I looked around my yard where I knew other tiger lilies were once planted in abundance and sure enough, they were not the lilies I once knew. I called my mother, who used to live where I do, who planted these flowers years ago, and confirmed that we did , for years have tiger lilies. She confirmed and described what we had there. These other lilies are in the exact same spot as the tiger lilies were. I am not crazy honest. Up until a few years ago, I was picking the tiger lily. Now it is different. I have heard of planting Easter lilies and they change after coming up the second year but this is strange is it not?
Answer By The Flower Expert: Usually lilies like Oriental lilies cannot change to Asiatic types, nor can lilies change their basic color. Mutations are remotely possible in lilies, but extremely rare. Though, sometimes color intensity can be affected by environmental variables, but this is possible only for a single season fluke.
By Dave: Hi, last year I bought three potted yellow chrysanth's at Tescos and planted them in a large planter, which bloomed beautifully. I have fed them, watered them, but this year though, they have grown to about eighteen inches high without a sign of a single bloom. Am I expecting too much? Maybe they're depressed or just being rebellious, whatever the problem I am a bit miffed at their reluctance to pretty my veranda up. Any Ideas please?
Answer By The Flower Expert: Fertilizing the plant is an important step in growing chrysanthemums. You can give organic fertilizers such as fish emulsion during this time for the plant, so that it may bud. After it starts budding then do not fertilize. That means fertilize when the plants are ready for blooming and discontinue fertilizing after flower buds are formed.
