2012 Planting Guide Info

 

So now the 2012 is here and time to plan for future gardens. We would like to thank our loyal customers for a good year once again. It is because of you that we are still around and hope to be around for many years to come. I have updated the website with our new varieties of 2012! We do not sell the plants through the internet but we have many of the plants at Honeymoon Acres located on Hwy 57 just north of New Holstein.

Campsis (Trumpet Vine)

This plant has shrubby coarse foliage which is a vigorous twining vine often climbing on stone or wood. The flowers are an orange to scarlet color blooming in mid summer. What people don't know is that this plant will bloom only after seven years of growth! So, we start with a three year old root to hurry the blooming along.

Celastrus (Bittersweet)

A revolutionary breakthrough is bittersweet culture. Imagine never having to wonder if you're buying a male or female plant again? The majority of the flowers formed on Autumn Revolution are perfect, meaning that the flower itself has both male and female parts. In other words you only need one plant to bear fruit. Perhaps because of this unique characteristic the fruit production is absolutely extraordinary and the berry size is twice that of the species. Should most definitely be considered for commercial production.

Clematis

Clematis is a very nice flowering vine that loves a part shaded area but can take some sun. It also likes its roots to stay cool, so if you put some pebbles around the base this usually works. Some people plant annuals around the base, but they sometimes compete for the nutrients. The first two years are touchy, but after the roots are established they'll last forever. These vines get anywhere from 8' to 12' in height. Most bloom throughout the summer, sometimes only resting a few weeks. The colors listed below are what we carry. (All are subject to availability)
