They are growing nicely and add a nice evergreen touch to the patio area which has a lot of hard surface. They don't have to be protected in the winter and seem generally pest free...Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03872899189875117518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277463846505405916.post-46560309325931038522011-01-16T18:13:44.629-05:002011-01-16T18:13:44.629-05:00It's so wonderful to see green this time of ye...It's so wonderful to see green this time of year.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06923630536753873113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277463846505405916.post-24659543885851379122011-01-16T17:10:08.423-05:002011-01-16T17:10:08.423-05:00Okay.

(Google euonymous scale). It's a terrible plant, in my opinion. My advice is to rip it out, throw it away, and don't look back. It's way too much maintenance to keep it scale free. The scale will come back every year. You will need to spray it with horticultural oil (organic approach). I'd have to research the chemical approach, but it's not worth it to me to be spraying chemicals to keep a plant that is that bug ridden. Like I say, just my opinion. (Ask me how I really feel).Toni - Signature Gardenshttp://signaturegardens.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277463846505405916.post-43127540963805313682011-01-16T15:32:45.067-05:002011-01-16T15:32:45.067-05:00It is good to see so much coming up out of the gro...It is good to see so much coming up out of the ground.Patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17862394699499538591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277463846505405916.post-62098814804252209392011-01-16T12:52:54.111-05:002011-01-16T12:52:54.111-05:00Isn't it great to have some green still left i...Isn't it great to have some green still left in our gardens?

It throws a very tall stalk of tiny yellow flowers from the bottom/up, my bloom was over 3 1/2 ft. tall...bloomed twice, then the parent died but many pups.<br />The green fennel is the garden variety I grow each year. It has a licorice flavor, the bulb, and is great in salads. Also can use the fronds layed on fish for a fabulous flavor. <br />The maple-leaved one looks like a Flowering Maple. They come in a variety of colors as houseplants up north. Lucky you are to have it survive in the ground. It should grow to be a large one. Let us know what color you get. The most common is the red and coral...but the yellow one is amazing.<br />You sure have a green thumb, girly.<br />BlessYourHeartDarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16642092433299872708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277463846505405916.post-30565956856741500902011-01-16T11:48:26.370-05:002011-01-16T11:48:26.370-05:00I don't know the Fairy Coral Red abutilon, but...I don't know the Fairy Coral Red abutilon, but I have two other varieties, and they are surprisingly tough in winter and even in our hot, dry summers if given afternoon shade.

The one I have right now is growing as a standard and is blooming. <br /><br />How lucky you are to grow aloes in the ground! Only containers here. I've got one that looks like yours, plus a few others.
