Some of the newer varieties are not as lush-growing. Which one do you have? In my experience, these vines don't need any special treatment. They grow in most soils and, as long as they have adequate water, should do well. Could it possibly be that the vine is unhappy in the pot? I've always grown mine in the ground. Good luck with yours.

Please tell me what conditions it likes. I have one in a large pot. It started looking sad and some leaves turned yellow and dropped. I turned to Google for answers and thought it had gotten too dry so I've tried to keep it well watered. It didn't really improve so I went to a garden center and was told it needs frequent feedings. That doesn't seem to have helped either. Any suggestions? <br />Happy Bloom Day!Sharon B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03921173805185993288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-47929952837446954092015-06-16T22:46:29.493-05:002015-06-16T22:46:29.493-05:00I like the combination of pink and orange.

I featured white for June, but next month the oranges will show up again (they haven't left but more orange flowers will be in bloom then.) <br /><br />Crocosmia and Tithonia are not yet blooming here, not the orange flowers of Bengal Tiger Canna.

The firecracker fern is one of those--what a great plant for the Fourth! I guess the main colors in my garden right now are pink and purple, but once all the lilies bloom, it's going to be a riot of clashing colors:) Happy Bloom Day!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.com
