Groeiweer.

30/9/2013

Een paar dagen was het warm en vochtig buiten. Groeiweer. Dat kwam mooi uit want ik had wat plantjes gekocht en gekregen.

Blechnum penna marina

Cheilanthes lanosa

Cimicifuga japonica ‘Cheju-do’

Dryopteris erythrosora ‘Prolifica’

Helleborus sternii

Helleborus viridis

Planten in het najaar heeft voordelen:

In het najaar is beter te zien waar nog plaats is voor nieuwe plantjes in de tuin.
In het najaar zijn planten in tuincentra vaak afgeprijsd.
En in het najaar wortelen planten sneller omdat de grond nog warm is (zeggen ze).

Toch plant ik liever in het voorjaar.

Want in de winter besteed ik minder aandacht aan de tuin. Dan sterven nieuwe plantjes vaak vanwege verwaarlozing. Dat is zonde.

I like all of your selections, and I love how you presented the photos in this post with the mini slide show for Cheileanthes lanosa and the Prolifica triptych. I also like to plant in autumn. For us it is definitely the best season for planting, because the weather will be mild for several months, followed by a short, mild winter. Lucky me!

Thank you Deb. I envy you. Mild weather for several months, followed by a short, mild winter, sounds perfect.

for us it's autumn, from March to May. I can try planting now, but our weather has already turned to hot. Too much for new little plants.

Autumn from March to May. That's the world upside down Diana :))

Early spring is good for planting, or autumn here. We're lucky to have mild winters, but summers can be very punishing on plants. I love all the plants you show in this post, they all have such a delicate look about them.

It seems that you, Deb and Diana all have the same climate, Catmint. I envy you all. We can have cold winters with temperatures as low as -20 degrees Celsius.

The ferns are beautiful. I am always amazed at the differences in leaf form no matter how small. The leaf structure of H. viridis almost looks like a maple leaf, Japanese of course.

Ferns are hard for me to resist, Patty. I like plants with beautiful foliage. That is also the reason why I chose these hellebores.

You have some interesting new plants. The common name of the fern Cheilanthes lanosa is hairy lip fern, over here anyway. The leaf on your H. Viridis is much more interesting than any of my specimens of green hellebore. It will be interesting to see it in flower.

The common name of Cheilanthes lanosa in Dutch is lipvaren. I didn't know that but I looked it up today. I hope I can show you some photographs of the helebores in bloom next spring, Carolyn.

What a cute little fern in the top picture! They say fall is the time for planting trees and bushes. I do hope so, since I've been busy planting trees this fall. I do love getting the discount plants, too, though my rate of success has been only around half. Normally it's bouts of heat that kill off my plants, so hopefully it will be better now that I'm in a cooler climate! I hope all your plants do well!

Thank you, Indie. I hope your trees do well as well :) We can't have enough trees.

Groeiweer.
