In front of house in decorative area. Fair drainage.
Have a low spot that gets lots of water, in full sun all morning hot in summer with lo humidity. ? to plant???
Sounds like a perfect place for a bog garden. Plants that like to have their feet wet all the time like pond plants. Pick up a few at your local nursery they a labeled as bog plants in a special section. Add Some amendments to the soil and small rocks for stability and some large rocks to edge the area and wala you have a whole different type of garden.
Reply:Try the oriental poppy, daffodil, scarlet sage or rosemary.
Reply:anything TROPICAL. Canna Lily, Tall Ornimental Grass, any climbing vines or Roses, they love the sun and have a large thirst. Clematis also would work, the blooms are absolutely breathtaking. No Hostas, they like the water but are strictly shade perennials. No morning glories, the are sensative to heat and like shade as well. Really and full sun perennial would work, shasta daisy, purple cone flowers, black eyed susans, butterfly bush,......and they are all perennials.

How do stop my spider plant from dying?
Sometime in December or January I bought a spider plant. It was very healthy looking full and green. Since then it has declined in health. The leaves started turning brown. I looked up information on the internet but everything they have suggested does not seem to help (less water, more water, distilled water, more sun, less sun, miracle grow). The plant gets sun but is not in direct sunlight.
I don't know what to do. That beautiful plant has died in the middle and now the left side is drooping and brown. Help me save my plant !!

If your plant continues to turn brown, then it is time to buy a new plant and start all over again. This happens. Gardeners are use to having to start over.
I wish you well.
Reply:How frustrating! It sounds like you've got the light right, so you probably have insects (spider mites are a huge problem with houseplants) or a plant disease. What usually works for me:
1. I buy and apply some Bayer Advanced Disease Control for Roses, Flowers, and Shrubs - I get it from my local Walmart, but it's also at Lowes, Home Depot, etc.
2. I let the soil dry out between waterings; this usually means only watering once per week %26amp; making sure that weekly watering is good and deep. The first watering, and every three months after that, I add the Bayer stuff to the water at the rate it says on the package.
Good luck!

You may be watering it too much.
Reply:If they are the bottom leaves just pull them off. bottom leaves always die off as the plant grows. It may be lacking some vitamins in the soil that it needs. If its all over the plant.

What are the fuel sources for a non Fossil Fueled Nuclear plant? .... the sun?
No nuclear plant uses fossil fuels. They use fissile material, most often uranium 235. The sun provides all the energy on our planet either directly (light and heat) or indrectly (photosynthesis, solar power) with the exception of nuclear power.
What are the fuel sources for a non Fossil Fueled Nuclear plant? .... the sun?
lol a nucluer power plant juns off the heat the reacting uranium makes it turns the water in to high pressur steam and is pushed through a turbine generoter then is put through a condenser turning it to water agian and the prosses repeats
Reply:Nuclear plants use U235 as the fuel in a fission reaction. This isotope of uranium is obtained from uranium ore that is mined. It has to be separated from the minerals that the mixture of uranium is found in.
The sun uses hydrogen and its isotopes to produce its energy in fission reactions that fuse the nuclei together to form larger elements. The hydrogen atoms and molecules exist in space and are drawn together by gravitational attraction. A large cloud forms and becomes denser and denser as more and more hydrogen is added to it. Eventually the cloud heats up as it becomes larger and denser so that it "ignites" into a fusion reaction.

Good Plants for full sun garden in North Carolina?
I want lots of color in my front garden, but it is in full sun all day. I am going to plant some knock out shrub roses and I have a row of hawthorne in the back, it has small white flowers in May. What kind of flowering plants can I put in the garden for good bursts of color throughout the season. I prefer to have good perennial plants and then plant an annual border each year. This year we have snap dragons and petunias as a border, but it is a very large planting bed and we need more color.

I love day lilies- they are cheap multiply like crazy and require little care. They come in so many different varieties that it is easy to pick some you like.
the link below is to easy to grow bulbs. I got some Lillie's from them last year and was very pleased:
http://www.easytogrowbulbs.com/
Also perennial:
Shasta daisy, really easy likes the sun
Russian sage- purple likes the heat
In the annual category:
Salvias are also nice in full sun. I am a big fan of the annual red salvia you purchase at Lowe's.
Dusty miller is nice as an accent and takes no care.
Marigolds and geraniums are pretty bright.
Just some ideas, I always have fun just looking at the online gardening sites to get ideas. Happy planting, Spring is here
Reply:Wave petunias will add a TREMENDOUS amount of color and are large and showy.. Vincas are a good choice in sun as well. Marigolds will do nicely as well, Mexican heather.. All have nice color and will take the sun.
Reply:a couple of my favorite full sun perrennials are Russian sage a very large,blue spiky plant that starts blooming around the middle of july very fragrant,monardia or bee balm another taller perrennial that blooms in reds,pinks purple and white again another great smelling perrennial,gallardia or blanklet flower comes in reds yellows and oranges these are about 2 feet tall and once they start blooming they bloom until frost,and my very favorite are perrennial asters again taller plants that start blooming around the end of july and bloom until frost they are always covered with flowers and there are many colors to choose from if you need more ideas check out wayside gardens that's a site that can really give you plenty of ideas.

Where is a good place to plant a Banana Tree, I live in North east Georgia. Sun, Shade, etc....?
They can freeze but they grow back.
They reproduce rapidly and can quickly expand into quite a large area. Sun is the best but make sure that it is an area with a lot of room.

You should plant it in a movable container and bring it in for the winter.

I would like to know if a tomatoe plant needs sun all day long?
how much water
I would like to know if a tomatoe plant needs sun all day long?
no.. about 6hrs.. i have mine getting morning sun then afternoon shade... %26amp; depending on u'r weather.. %26amp; humidity... I have potted tom... i water them twice a day really good. In ground if u put mulch around them u may b able to get away w/ twice a day but if u c the leaves curling too mch... more water.
Reply:Yeap full sun, they love it.
Reply:It needs @ least 6 hrs. I did plant 2 plants last yr. in partial sun, didn,t do great tho. I water every 2-3 days.
Reply:no,but at least 6 to 8 hours the sun helps to sweeten and ripen them better
Reply:Water every day in this heat. Sun all day is the best but at least 3/4 of a day. Make sure that your soil drains well and that you keep a good layer of mulch. If you can't water ever day then...more mulch and maybe some of the soil water holders.
Reply:The more the merrier. That's why tomatoes grow more in the Mediterranean, where the sun is a scorcher.
Water loads, but just after sundown, or the water will boil the roots. (So to speak, but it does damage plants to be watered in the full sun)
Reply:My tomato plant gets half-sun and
a daily drink of water.
Right now, it's taking over the back yard.
If it gets any larger, I might have to
re-name it, THE THING.
Today, while I was cutting the grass,
it bit the lawn mover.
Reply:i water mine every 2 to 3 days. get a spade and turn over a small patch of soil, its probably still moist even after a couple of hot sunny days. and full sun is best. good luck

I planted a sun shrub , and I want to know if it will come back from the dead?
Around Mothers day last year, we planted a sun shrub in my deck, above the ground..... I don't know if the shrub had time before winter to spread its roots out enough to reach the actual ground. So I don't know if if the roots froze over winter and is it dead or what.....It shows no signs as of now of budding....... does anyone know what time of the year shrubs start budding...... any feed back at all is greatly appreciated...... I just want to know if I should dig it up and plant something else or should i just wait patiently???
I planted a sun shrub , and I want to know if it will come back from the dead?
Sun shrub? Never heard of it... It was planted IN your deck?The shrub is not planted in the ground? I'm not understanding.
Reply:I would wait a bit. A lot of shrubs can be cut way back to maybe 6 inches above the ground and will regrow. Many plants were late to break dormancy this year. I would water it really good and wait and see. It couldn't hurt.
In Phoenix this year a lot of people lost stuff because of all the frost days we had. I cut my lantanas and bouganivillas way back and they are regrowing well, but I completely lost a rubber tree plant.
It sort of depends on the type of shrub and your climate.
Reply:What color is the sun shrub?
I had a shrub in my garden, never watered it. It turned orange and at that time I assumed it was dead.
It sure did have a root system.
poison ivy

What are good plants that take sun all day long?
I am doing some landscaping in a few months and wanted to get a few names of some plants that don't require a lot of water and are good in sun all day long....we live in Missouri, by the way. Thanks.
What are good plants that take sun all day long?
. 1 Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum)
2. Devil's Ivy or Pothos (Scindapsus or Epipremnum)
Mother-in-law's tongue or Snake plant or Bird's-nest plant (Sansevieria
4. Jade plant (Crassula argentea)
5. Christmas Cactus (Zygocactus or Schlumbergera)
6. Rubber plant or Rubber tree (Ficus elastica)
7. Parlor palm (Chamaedorea elegans)
8. African Violet (Saintpaulia
9. Aloe (Aloe)
Well if you don't want house plants. Plants good for outdoors are:
Roses: Almost all roses need at least six hours of sun a day to bloom their best, so roses are perfect for all your sunny spots
Butterfly Bush: A perfect choice for southern gardens, butterfly bushes are extremely tolerant of heat and humidity. They thrive in difficult conditions like very sunny spots and have tons of beautiful blooms, which can range in color from blue to lavender, pink to red, and even white.
Daisies: There are few flowers as cheerful as daisies. A mass planting of daisies in bloom is sure to bring a smile to anyone��s face, and they are perfect additions to any sunny garden.
Lilies and lavenders are a great choice for a sunny walkway!
All of these plants are good in the sun and require little water. Just google them and see if you like them.
Reply:I think the previous answer is for house plants. Could you please expand your question and tell me if you want trees, shrubs or flowers?
Reply:Lots and lots. Camelia, gardenia, boxwood, willow, cherry, peach and a gazillion other shrubs/trees. Black eyed susans, day lillies, dahlia, carnation, wild flowers, geranium, zinnia, new guinnea impatiens and bunches more flowers.
have fun
Reply:With respect to azaleas, there are few, if any, which will take unrelieved sun, especially during summer months. The best candidates for this are in the Southern Indica variety, but even there one has to be careful. Salmon colors tend to fade in too much sun. So 'Judge Solomon' would fall into that category. A better possibility might be 'Phoenicia' or 'George Lindley Taber'. Those are possibilities, not guarantees. The next question would be your winter temperatures, e.g. how far below freezing do they generally go and when do they tend to begin and end. October/November? March/April?
Some succulents would work well in sun all day with a minimum of water. The question there, too, would be how cold your temperatures get in the winter.
One good plant which will survive a fair degree of heat and cold is Burfordi Holly. It can be planted individually or used in a hedge form. Crepe Myrtle is another, though it can become a tree, if not trimmed back from time to time. It has the advantage of several good colors, e.g. white, orchid, various hues of red. A vine which tends to remain evergreen is 'Carolina Jessamine' which is often sold as 'Carolina Jasmine'. The yellow flowers on it appear in profusion in the spring. It will take the cold and heat.
Reply:cannas need full sun and water to bloom. it can be 120 degrees in full sun with water. 90 and full sun is pefered. cannas are bulbs cold hardy to 5 degrees.Since you get colder than that, waith till frost when the plant dies back, then cut the plant, and take the bulb out. then in the spring re-plant the bulbs

Can I plant a Taxodium in my landscape?
I want to plant a Taxodium Distichum Bald Cypress in my landscape, but I am afraid that it will cast to much shade on my other sun loving plants. It would be about 20' from my cercis Oklahoma and my mexican pine. The cultavar is called, Shawnee Brave which grows about 80' high and about 20' wide when it is fully grown. It grows upright with a somwhat pyramidal habit. It is would be on a lot about 60' wide and 150' deep and placed some where in the middle of the lot. What do you think about this plant? Thanks

Bald Cypress are very open trees, their leaves like feathers, your other plants should get plenty of sun light with the new addition

It really will depend on what they have in stock.. they wont steer you wrong! and you can see actual plants.. make sure to bring your container.. for a small fee they will plant whatever you buy.. and give a good chance of survival.

Looking for the right plant for my plant box. I want it to flower throughout the summer?
Calibrachoa....aka Million Bells ....or SuperBells
Highly recommend for planters ....bloom all summer and will cascade over edges of planter box.
Comes in so many colors ....here is photo link:
http://images.google.com/images?hl=en%26amp;q=...
Reply:First three that come to mind.....and work well together are the cascade type petunias......even the new Wave series flops a bit. Add Sweet alyssum for a white or purple tint though they don't cascade that much and also lobelia for nice blue accent.
There are trailing nasturtiums and a trailing geranium......but the geranium gets pretty big, one per box!
Sweet potato vine would be a foliage background....no flowers but does cascade quite a ways down.
You didn't say how much you want it to cascade......realize too much and the plant will break off as to get flowering all summer the plant will most likely be an annual which has limited structural integrity.....they don't need it as annuals.
Reply:Petunias are a safe bet, they will flower all summer and they will even spread and dangle from the box if you get the "wave Petunia" kind. They come in all different colors. But my favorite are Impatiens. They come in very bright colors. They are small and dainty, stay low to the ground and will not spread.

Reply:Petunias come in a variety of colours and they're great for blooming all season. Be sure to get the varieties that are called "cascade" and do your dead-heading after the blossoms are spent to encourage more to grow.

There are trailing nasturtiums and a trailing geranium......but the geranium gets pretty big, one per box!
Sweet potato vine would be a foliage background....no flowers but does cascade quite a ways down.
You didn't say how much you want it to cascade......realize too much and the plant will break off as to get flowering all summer the plant will most likely be an annual which has limited structural integrity.....they don't need it as annuals.
Reply:Petunias are a safe bet, they will flower all summer and they will even spread and dangle from the box if you get the "wave Petunia" kind. They come in all different colors. But my favorite are Impatiens. They come in very bright colors. They are small and dainty, stay low to the ground and will not spread.

Reply:Petunias come in a variety of colours and they're great for blooming all season. Be sure to get the varieties that are called "cascade" and do your dead-heading after the blossoms are spent to encourage more to grow.

I would to know if Geraniums can be planted in full sun?
I had a piece of a Geranium break off my big plant and just planted it in dirt and placed out from of my house which gets full sun, Is this good?

Reply:Dipping it in rooting hormone before planting would be good-- survival depends on your attention to the plant henceforth.
Yes, geraniums want full sun.
good luck
Reply:There are a lot of varieties of geraniums. But most need full sun (at least six hours a day). See the website below for how to plant cuttings.
Reply:a broken off piece may not take full sun. It depends a lot on where you live. I have had a few cuttings like this start but most die. I start me cuttings in the basement under lights. I take a small clay pot and plug the bottom hole. I put this pot in the center of a large water tight contained and then fill around the clay pot with agriculture vermiculite. put the cutting into the vermiculite and keep the clay pot full of water (it seeps through and keeps the planting medium wet). about 90% of the cuttings i try to start this way develop good roots

I have a plant that is green and white. Put in full sun the white turns bright pink. What is it? It's spiny
I've found numerous plants that fit this description, but not the right one yet. This plant has spiney (sp) limbs that reminds me of something in the succulant family. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I wish there was a way to identify all of the houseplants I have. I just don't have any luck on the www. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

I think that what you may have is a version of a bromeliad called an ananas or pineapple plant. There are many kinds of these, so I can't tell which one it might be. The link below is to a truly magnificent one in fruit. Some of them have the red due to sun normally, some (like mine), only when they get "sunburned" (lol!!), otherwise they are like yours and go back to green and white.
Sorry you don't have much luck with www -- wish I was there to help teach you.
Reply:It might be part of the COLEOUS family,as they will change colour with location.
Reply:Anything with spines I think of some kind of succulent cactus, or Euphorbia millii. The euphob is very spiney as are succulents. There are a lot of them out there.
One way to tell if it is euphorbia is break a tiny piece off... if white, milky sap comes out, it is euphorbia. Here's a pic: http://members.chello.be/sf16063/pauwels...
Hope this helps!
Reply:sounds like dro to me
Reply:I can't see your plant, so I am only guessing. Try looking up aloe vera (or aloe).

What full sun exposure tree/ bush should I plant in front of my windows for shade. Must also add curb appeal.?
Since it will be literaly two feet away from the house roots are a major factor. Unfortunately space is limited.
What full sun exposure tree/ bush should I plant in front of my windows for shade. Must also add curb appeal.?
Planting any tree or shrub 2 feet from a house -- it's just not enough room. Here's a better suggestion for very narrow spaces: Put up a trellis, and grow a vine on it. You'll have something really pretty that will not create a structural problem and that can be better controlled than a tree. In addition, you will have shade very fast.
Look for moderate growing vines. You must decided if you need an evergreen one (if you need shade year round) or if you prefer a deciduous one (if you want sun in the winter). Avoid Wisteria at all costs -- it is a very agressive grower and more trouble than it is worth--it is a beautiful vine but for very large spaces only.
Reply:IF you have a basement DO NOT plant any trees or shrubs that close to a foundation, you risk future problems that will cost thousands!
Reply:Silver Birch. These are deciduous so they allow the sun in during the winter months and shade for summer. You could grow up to three very close together and not have any effect on your foundations.
Plus, they will grow in almost any gardening zone.
Reply:Depends on what zone you live in. I have some dwarf crepe myrtles in a small space under a window. They have pretty blooms (white, red, or pink) and are heat tolerant. I do keep them pruned so they do not overgrow.
There are many other choices. Check out Wayside Gardens and your local extension service for more ideas.
Reply:Gingko Biloba (Maidenhair tree) is a good choice for urban environments, as it is very polution-tolerant. It is often planted in those little squares of dirt in the middle of sidewalks. It is also very attractive in the fall. Any tree will have roots that eventually spread out well beyond the dripline of the branches, so I wouldn't plant one that close if you have a foundation that would not stand roots growing underneath it. Instead, try something like a trellis and ivy or roses.
Reply:You may want to check with your local extension office. (most universitys that have a garden program will have info on your local one). They will be able to tell you what is good for your zone and what is the best type for you. Depending on what your knowledge base is and how much effort you want to put into it.
They offer this help for free.
Or you could check with your local garden club. Most city halls have info on them. They are usually made up of volunteers who are willing to show you about gardening.
Good luck!!

In a week, with sun & water, how much would a plant grow?? (height in cm)?
How long is a piece of string?
It depends on the type of plant. A sunflower would probably grow 10 cms, lemongrass would grow about 20cm and a ponytail palm would grow maybe 1mm or less....

Hydrangea Little Honey ---Does this plant sunburn in full sun (6 hours a day)?
I live in the fog belt of Northern California, so the sun I receive is often modified. I have small plants that are showing sunburn. I wonder if they will respond better as they grow larger.
Hydrangea Little Honey ---Does this plant sunburn in full sun (6 hours a day)?
First of all things are happening to plants acroos the US because everyone is in an extreme heat wave.
Leaves keep their yellow hue well into summer!
The Showiest Oakleaf Yet!
Golden spring leaves, white blooms, scarlet fall foliage, and even bright red stems -- what DOESN'T Little Honey have?
The most beautiful and distinctive Oakleaf Hydrangea I've ever had the pleasure of seeing, Little Honey adds a whole new look to this family of multi-season shrubs! A sport of the popular dwarf Pee Wee, Little Honey just oozes charm, from its bright gold foliage to its scarlet autumn tones!
The show begins in early spring, when the large, oakleaf-shaped leaves unfurl a brilliant gold. This color remains right through spring and well into summer, eventually darkening to chartreuse and finally green just as the huge 6- to 8-inch white bloom trusses -- giant snowy wands in the shade garden! -- appear to liven things up again. And with the first nip of autumn cold, the leaves burnish a brilliant scarlet! Even the stems turn red, and if you live in the southern portion of Little Honey's hardiness range, these leaves and stems will stay put right through winter! How's that for all-season beauty!
Just 4 feet tall and 3 feet wide, Little Honey is the perfect size for the foundation, patio, front-yard accent, or any place of honor in the sunny (in the north) to partially shaded (further south) garden. It looks terrific with its parent Pee Wee, as well as with Azaleas and Kalmias, which bloom in late spring and segue nicely into Little Honey's flower show!
Pee Wee is famous for its garden-worthiness -- vigor, ease of care,
Space these 2-year-old plants about 3 feet apart in any good garden soil receiving partial to full sun. Zones 5-9.

Reply:i hope you are not sprinkling the water on flowers when sun is shining. this way you can get unnecessary sunburns - getting a hose to water it directly to soil is far better than automatic sprinkler that is on during the hot sunny day. the droplets of water act like magnifying lenses and the sun does the job and burns it.
