B. Shorty's Variegated
Yes, we will sell B. Shorty's Variegated plants when they
available. This plants is a 'tissue culture' plant and will only
root when it is actively growing, which means cuttings are
taken in the summer months. We take small cuttings to root
and it will take about a year to have a plant to sell or send.
So you will have to wait a year to get a plant!!
The first winter after our purchase, we offered cuttings and
many folks couldn't get their cutting rooted. We have seen some
photos of plants in the past and when we questions folks about
their plants the one thing that is noted is the strong fragrance that
they tell us about. Then we questions them about the sports that
B. Shorty's variegated will throw off. Some of the folks do have
B. Shorty's variegated, so we know she is out there. She isn't registered
as both groups won't allow as the history is unknown. I have shared
information about her and they know all about how she was found.
The back ground photo use here on our blog is from the fall
of 2019. Her third flush after our summer of extreme high temps
she just shined by blooming her heart out. A lot of the other
brugmansias we grow really didn't do well in the heat except
B. Frosty Pink.
If you would like to be put on our list for this plant, let us know.
We will let you know when it is ready. The cost of this plant
will be in the $18 to 20 range, plus priority postage.
We send out plants from April 15, our last date of frost until
October 1 each year. We will not send out plants in the heat of the
summer or during Frost/cold periods as we want out plants to arrive
and thrive so you will get a great plant. So please understand it's
important to give these plants the proper care. We pride ourselves
on the quality of what we send out.
We have been growing Brugmansia since 1994. We do test plants for
other hybridizers and will not release a Brug until the hybridizer saids
we can release them.
We do not release any of the seeds from B. Shorty's variegated or her offsprings
due to the albino seeds we have seen come from the pods.

months.

Terra Nova's Reverse Variegated Sport 2020
I also posted the sport we are watching on the TNN's Reverse
variegated, which we have had since 2003. We are testing this
one and it's my understanding that TNN will not release this one.

B. Shorty's Variegated 2020 Sport
I posted photos of the new sport that B. Shorty's Variegated has
thrown off this winter. I think it's time to put it on here.
3/1/2020 we cut this sport and will attempt to root it. The stalk is
green not the normal yellow albino sport, so we are going
to give it a try.

February 2020
Time to get the moss control out or spray for moss. Also start pulling the weeds!
We have started to mow here, between the rain showers.
We have also started to fertilize all the flower beds for the spring season
flowers.
We are surprised to see the peonies are popping up and we have noted the
tree peony is starting to leaf out. Our first Daffs are blooming.
Our last date of Frost for our area is April 15th so don't get in to big of hurry to plant!!

January 2020
I have been asked to write about what we do each month to maintain our yard:
January is a low key month with mowing, weed pulling, trimming what didn't get done last
fall, moss control, and planning this year's garden.
Then there is the starting of seeds!
February 15th, 2020
Here they come!!
2/26/2020
Note the albino seedlings, this is why we do not
release any of the B.Shorty's seeds. Not to many
folks understand albino plants. In a week these will
be ready to transplant into their own containers.
Update on seedlings:
Had a lot of die back on these, most of the albinos are
gone and as you can see in the photo some have started
to die back.
If you are interested in the new seedlings check back in
the fall as to what is available. By then they should be
big enough to ship. We tried sending a few out and they
were just to small and didn't make the trip.
