This was a no-name that was given to me. Any idea what it might be? I guess you would call the color peach. And why are the leaves on the bottom turning yellow? It gets water from the sprinkler, but not too much, I don't think.
Any idea on the ID for this
Hello!!!
Let me refer you the the response I posted in this thread

Re: Yellow leaves, can be from any number of things, too much water, not enough water, too much fertilizer, not enough fertilizer, just to name a few.. I'll try to find a thread which explains better.

see if you can find the answer to the yellowing of the leaves on this thread

Thanks, Judy. Do your brugs overwinter there, or do you have to bring them inside? I haven't fertilized them at all, so maybe I'll just try a good basic one first, and then go for some of the other more specific ones.
I've only tried to winter-over one brug in the ground no mulching or anything and it survived, however it hasn't bloomed yet, whereas 4 which were inside bloomed in April/May.
I've got 14 in the ground now which I will not dig up. Wanting to get earlier blooms, I plan to put a large shallow flower pot, top down, over the stubbles after I cut the branches down. The pot will have a weight to prevent it from blowing away. (Yardbird told me this is what she does).
Sherrylike lives in the same zone as you and I don't think she covers or mulches heavy, why not send her an dmail and ask.
Hope I've helped.

PS One of my brugs with lots of leaves wilted recently and afterward the leaves started turning yellow from the bottom up.
Hello Happy
I live in Slidell and my brugs are in the ground, and have been for years.
I just cut back any cold damage but not necessarily to the ground. They come back
bigger and better every year with a good fertilization once a year. I don't cover them but
the mulch I usually do annually seems to be enough. We had 3 feet of water inside for
the hurricane and my back yard was a mess. We had a huge pine tree within 3 feet of where my brugs are that came down. We had the tree stump ground and it didn't bother
the brug roots or anything around. Brugs are a lot tougher than some think.
Ordine, were your brugs under that brackish water???? If so they really are
tough!
We lived in Lacombe for 13 years. 'Nice to meet a neighbor here!

My neighbor up the street that foolishly stayed for the storm told me that the water stayed for a day and a half. Surprisingly the water inside was almost like a filtered light brown color. There was no debris in it. It was almost like it was filtered by the doors as it came in. If it hadn't stayed for so long we may have been able to salvage more of our belongings than we did. But we have new everything. Furniture, walls, doors, roof(a beautiful green metal one that I've always wanted) After the cleanup outside I realized that most of my plants survived. Azaleas, gingers, daylilies, camillias, hydrangeas, spireas, cannas, callas, citrus and fig trees. Of course a lot of grooming had to be done to put things back into shape. We packed up the garage with everything in the way of potted plants. The garage got more water than the rest of the house so I lost some of those plants and some surprisingly made it. I had two braided hybiscus trees that I was sure were toast. You wouldn't believe how beautiful they are now.
That is wonderful! I'm so glad you were able to have some positive results from Katrina! It was a monster! We had the eye of it here, but at least we
did not get all that flooding.
Also Hello to Happy tail! Another Lacombe neighbor! 'So glad to have some "local" folk on DG!
