What are some good perennial plants and flowers that will bloom for about a month during the summer?
I am planning on having a really big flower garden next year. I would like to plant some perennials, but I would want them to last for about a month, more would be better. I have already bought some gladiolis and some other different kinds of mixed bulbs, and these will bloom for about 1-3 monthes. What are some more? Any lillies or anything like that? I don't care which type of perennial, but as long as it is nice.
Ps. I have a packet of snapdragon seeds and a packet of larkspur seeds that i didn't get to plant this year, will they still be good for next year, so i can plant them then? Thanks in advance.

russian sage

I have had these in my gardens for a couple of years now and they bloom or continue to bloom all summer long. as for your seeds...sorry I can't help with that one, I don't buy flower seeds cuz they never grow for me and I am not that patient...lol
Reply:Stella D'ora daylillie's are the best. Yellow and bloom for months.
Reply:Foxglove, dianthus, sweet william, colombine. All with come back each year larger and spread. Sweet william and colombine you can cultivate the seed from and replant. All flower a long time if kept watered.
Reply:Your seeds should be good next year.
Holly Hocks are beautiful and bloom for several weeks. Day lillies are perennials that last well into the season. If you have space, plant a lilac bush. It doesn't require a lot of water or fertilizer, but does need full sun. Cannas are perennials; they need space and sun as well. Just a few. Hope this helps; good planting.

How to transfer flowers that already bloomed into a new garden?(i really dont have a green thumb)?

How to transfer flowers that already bloomed into a new garden?(i really dont have a green thumb)?
You'll want to prepare the new garden for the plants, then -carefully- dig up the plants. Try to keep the root ball (the big bundle of roots usually right under the plant) as complete as possible. Settle the plant into a hole in the new ground, cover with dirt, and water frequently. If you're careful and keep most of the root ball intact, your plants should be fine. :)
Good luck!
Reply:first off dig the appropriate spaced out holes for each bulb in the new area u'll plant them in. then carefully dig about 4-5 in. below the surface of the plant and be aware of the bulb, try not to hack at it, then lift gently and transfer. after replanted then water them and put fertilizer over the soil.
Reply:Get a nice, healthy rootball when you dig up the flowers. The less you expose the roots, the more likely a successful transplant. There is still that likelihood of shock so if you can wait until the petals fall, you'll do even better transplanting. Good luck! You are on your way to developing a green thumb!

Happy gardening to you. :o)
Reply:I prepare a hole in the new place, saving the dirt. I take a large shovel and lift the WHOLE plant and gently transfer it to the new home for it and use the soil I've saved to fill the old hole. This may be rather unorthodox but it works.

Something dug two flowering plants out of my garden last night. Left them there,roots intact. There were 2?
nice holes were the plants had been. What kind of animal does this? Have never had it happen before. We do have racoons, possems, foxes, rabbits, deer, squirrels around all the time.

sounds like an armadillo
they are always in my garden and yard! the hole is big enough for a horse hoof~ maybe a little smaller
If that is what it is-I have no idea how to get rid of it except to have a dog grab it-mine do
good luck
Reply:May be moles or groundhogs If your plants have interferred in their tunnels they will upchuck the plant. At our house if our cat gets mad at us, she digs up our plants to make a statement

Cat poop in my garden what can I do to prevent it?
It must be one stupid cat - we don't have flower beds or anything, the cat is pooping on the actual grass with no attempt to bury it. It's infuriating, I have a young son (2) who plays in my garden and I'm worried about him touching it. I check it every day before he goes out and have to pick up the poop but how can I keep them away?
(I don't even have a cat I hate having to deal with their waste!!!)

If it were an issue of health %26amp; safety of my child and a cat - screw the cat !
Get a water pistol or pellet gun (non-lethal) and give it a couple of zaps everytime it enters the garden. But keep it handy and keep it up or it will start over again.
Reply:It may be hedgehog pooh.
Cats normally bury theirs.
Try sprinkling smashed up moth balls around the area.
Someone has already said about orange peelings.
Reply:Sure it's a cat and not a fox? cats wil usually bury it- a water pistol is a good plan if you catch the cat doing it then squirt it throroughly- won't harm it but will deter it from doing it again-
the law says you are not allowed to harm the animal so don't throw anything at it- you could try scoot- it's a gel which is supposed to deter cats, or an ultrasonic device (but my cats just ignore both of those) try putting something like a scare crow up for a bit, something which will make them think twice about your lawn.
Reply:Have cat stuffed and mounted? Nah, just kidding! Hee Hee Hee ~~~~~~ It probably is another animal. If you live in a place where the county or parish has animal control call them to help I.D. the critter. Then it will be easier to find a way to fix the problem.
Reply:put orange peel in your borders
Reply:get your own cat.
I had exactly the same problem til we got one, they are territorial and will keep other cats out but don't poop on their own patch, they go next door. Ours does also uses his litter tray but at least you don't get a nasty surprises!
Reply:put catnip in next doors gardens they will poo in theres
Reply:Putting pepper where they tend to go is supposed to deter them. It is meant to burn the backside of them so as to speak.
Reply:Get a dog to chase the buggers away!!!
Honestly works wonders as my dog keeps away any cats as they can smell her and she can bark and run like mad!!
Reply:They make products just for that. Should be able to find it at any pet store. Or, you could slice up some lemons or oranges and scatter them in your garden. Cats don't like the smell of citrus and will avoid it if possible.

Reply:Chili or cajun pepper, won't harm plants and keeps away all unwanted critters!
Reply:a sling shot or a 2 x 4! I caught one pooping on my front lawn the other day after i put a new mulch.
Reply:Move to a high rise flat.
Reply:a half full bottle of water, dont know how it works but many people i know use it as a cat deterant

What can I do to keep snails from eating my flowers?
I am seeing traces of snails in my flower garden. There are tiny holes all over my flowers. Can you help? Do you know a home remedy that won't hurt my flowers?

Cory's snail and slug bait works great....also beer , salt, sodium bicarbonate, copper , egg shells work to a certain extent....but best to use Cory's or other good commercial products on the market....put it out before planting or very Early spring and re apply every few weeks...especially after a very heavy or long rain....
Reply:Although I chose Earl Z for best answer I had a hard time with that decision. I also thought that Steve C was a five star answer. lol funny. I ended up using Danielle L answer because I didn't have to go buy anything. I will see how it worked this afternoon. Nancy Report It
Reply:Egg shells are like glass to us humans.... I know because I was having problems with them myself. I collect my eggshells and crush them. Throw the eggshells around the plants and that will help. Copper is another I heard too, but haven't tried that yet.
Reply:yes use beer they will die a happy death !
Reply:an instant way is to put salt on them! if you see one, shake a bit of salt on them and within 10 seconds, they'll shrivel up and be dead! i tried this with a slug infestation and it works a treat!
Reply:place a line of salt around ur flower beds they will not cross it if they do then they will die.
Reply:put a small flat saucer of beer or two (depending on the size of your garden) near your plants. Snails (and other pesky bugs that eat flowers) will immediately seek the sugar emitting from the beer, crawl in and drown. Your flowers will be perfectly safe, though don't dump the beer into your flower bed.
