Are these flowers done flowering yet?
by
Tina Krenz
I have these flowers (not sure of their name), and I was wondering when they would be done flowering and how to tell. Also, can you seperate the plant and replant them in a different area say like maybe underneath the maple tree? How far down do you cut the plant down for winter?
This one I let loose so you could see how long the flower vines are getting, and I can get at least 5 seperate plants out of this one.
I have this one pinned up because it flops onto the sidewalk of our entry way and this plant has at least 4 parts that I could seprarate.
This one, I thought I would get a close up of the flowering vine to see if anyone can tell if the plant's done flowering yet or when it might be getting to the time when it will be done flowering.
These are my hollyhocks that I've been working to save all summer from those pests I posted earlier. Their now getting bigger(well the leaves anyway), by putting my garden netting over them. I saved several of them this way.
This is my Blackeyed Susan, but this one is shorter than my other one at the other end.
This is my other Blackeyed Susan at the other end, and it's getting ready to bloom. Don't know what's wrong with the other one though.
this is my coneflower in back of my (getting ready to bloom) Blackeyed Susan, but it's sitting small compare to the next picture you will see.
This is my coneflower on the same side as the short Blackeyed Susan, but it's taller than the other coneflower on the other side. Weird. These were dying too, and I saved these too somehow, but without the netting.

Gaura is the white flower that keeps falling over on you. It blooms from summer to fall and does not play well with others but loves to be in large clumps. You can dead head or cut off the dead flowers for it to push new flowers faster than just leaving them. Gaura and they love full sun so under tree is not a good place. As far as your black eyed susans and coneflowers, if they were started from seed, then they just got a late start and next year will come back larger. Plants take time to grow and a newly planted perennial in your zone is going to take at least 3 years to grow large and look like the pictures you see. From the looks of things, I believe that being too close to the house could be a problem since lack of rainfall could be slowing up their growing process. I find that rain helps plants grow and if sheltered from it and watered just from the hose or watering can do not flourish like those watered by Mother Nature. As for cutting plants down, just leave that to nature for now until late fall through early spring so the birds can enjoy the seeds from the coneflowers and daisies. Or collect the seeds from the daisies and coneflowers and black eyed susans and spread them other places. Happy gardening.

Keep in mind the "Sleep, creep and leap" theory of perennials-the first year they sleep, the second they creep and the third year they LEAP!
