Rudbeckia brown leaves
The leaves of my Rudbeckia are brown and shriveled up but the flowers are fine. My neighbor's look the same. Anyone have any idea why that would be. It's been a wet summer, so it seems odd.See More
Susan Marie George replied to Jan Page's discussion Endless Summer not blooming up here...... in the group Zone 4"I had one bloom too & that's it. I noticed that the late frost we had on Mother's Day weekend touched that plant worse than others so I don't know if that did something. I also noticed that many other flowering shrubs barely…"

Nelly Bly replied to Susan Marie George's discussion Grow lights in the group Zone 4"I'm happy with my $99 light from Gardeners Supply that I got maybe 5 years ago. It's got two 4ft grow lights in a fixture -- you hang it yourself or provide your own…"

I want to invest some of my plant sale money in getting some good grow lights. I use fluorescent lights now but my plants get a little spindly under them. Any suggestions?See More
Susan Marie George left a comment for Maggie Bethel MICH zone 4"Wow...that is it! Thanks! It says it blooms until fall. I usually pull them out because they keep getting bigger & taking more room & I'm thinking they kind of turn more yellow & don't look that great as the season goes on…"
Maggie Bethel MICH zone 4 left a comment for Susan Marie George"Susan, I think your mystery plant is corydalis, I grow it in my garden, and it does "pop-up". It is a perennial. It is a member of the bleeding heart family, and that explains the foliage. It rather looks like a dutch-man's breechs…"

"Well, it pops up but the roots don't go deep & it's been returning about 5 yrs. now after I first planted it & I don't get more plants than I want & it doesn't grow in the grass, that's why I don't call it…"
Susan Marie George commented on Garden-Share's group Zone 4"I wanted to post a picture but can't figure out how. I put it on my page. I have a ferny leafed plant with delicate yellow flowers that I bought at a garage sale. It seeds itself all over my gardens (but I don't consider it invasive) It…"

Mystery plant
Wondering if anyone know the name of this. I bought it at a garage sale. It seeds itself and pops up all over now in the spring with fernlike leaves and delicate yellow flowers. I eventually pull it out to make way for other plants. It doesn't get…

- Susan, I think your mystery plant is corydalis, I grow it in my garden, and it does "pop-up". It is a perennial. It is a member of the bleeding heart family, and that explains the foliage. It rather looks like a dutch-man's breechs that you would see in the woods, doesn't it? I have provided a link to the Perennial resource guide for you to compare and see if this is the plant - http://www.perennialresource.com/encyclopedia/view/?plant=182

Linda Ross said… - Hi Susan, I haven't been on the my computer lately. Just trying to survive this COLD Florida spell. Sanibel Island was mid-twenties last night!!. I will be home in Minnesota beginning of Feb. and will start my "Winter Seed Sowing". Will post photos and what I am doing. Try this way of planting this year. I think you will enjoy the process and be surprised with how easy it.

Donna Zone 4 Vermont said… - Hi Susan,
It has been aweful cold here in Vermont as well. I have been trying to focus on Spring coming and the garden shows coming up to take my mind off the snow. I am planning to move in the Spring to my 8 acres in Cavendish so I will be starting out with a blank canvas as far as planting goes. Excited but nervous. Never have taken on such a big task. There are lots of stone walls on the property so will tie those into the landscaping. Your pictures are beautiful. We have a nursery up here in Newfane that specializes in Day Lillies. When I sell my home to move up to the property I am taking all my perennials! :)

A couple of years ago, I planted in my beds and left them out all winter. They did much better. I'm a Zone 5 in South/Central Indiana - Seymour. "
