Drought Tolerant Flowering Shrubs

It is endemic to Australia, occurring in every mainland state except South Australia. * Mirbelia is a plant genus belonging to the Fabaceae family.

Adding compost or topsoil will help the young feeder roots to spread through the loose, nutrient rich soil, much easier than if you used solely the existing soil which more times than not will be hard and compacted.

We suggest when planting your newly purchased Caryopteris Beyond Midnight plants that you dig a hole twice as wide as the root system but not deeper. Additionally, Caryopteris Beyond Midnight is deer resistant.

Its better to leave a one inch gap of space between the mulch and the stem or trunk of the plant. It is also important to understand the specific growing characteristic of a certain Physocarpus when pruning that particular plant.

Great winter interest due to the peeling bark. Elements such as Magnesium, Sulfur, Calcium, Iron, Manganese, Copper, Zinc, Boron, and Molybdenum play very important roles in providing Physocarpus with adequate nutrition.

If a liquid fertilizer is used for Physocarpus Summer Wine, it should be applied every month for both plants in pots and in the ground. Either chemical fertilizers or organic matter can be used successfully.

Fertilizing at this time may stimulate new growth that will be too tender to withstand the winter. More northern areas may wish to fertilize only once in June or July. At the recommended rate this will give the plant a boost of nitrogen that will be needed...

Large Physocarpus that have been severely pruned have the advantage of a large root system that has excessive capacity, and its roots are capable of supplying all of its energies to a smaller number of branches and foliage.

Pieris Katsura lends itself equally to use in foundation plantings, mixed borders, specimen, mass plantings and patio pots. As with chemical fertilizers, do not apply it right next to the trunk or stems emerging from the ground.

Commercial manure or compost can be applied yearly around the base of the distylium. This is not to be rushed. Although it is tempting to spend less time by not raking the mulch back during fertilization, the results will be less than desirable, if the...

In general gardening terms, pruning is probably the most misunderstood gardening chore, and certainly, the chore that is most likely neglected. When looking at most fertilizers, they are described by three numbers on the bag.

It is occasionally used as a condiment. The inflorescence is short and few-flowered. Fulvescens ( Styracaceae ) have generally been regarded as the same species, but recent molecular analysis has suggested that they may be diverged to the point of being...

Commercial manure or compost can be applied yearly around the base of the Purple Pixie Loropetalum. Water using the counting method for the first few weeks. If a plant is struggling due to a disease or root problems, the fertilizer will only add stress...

‘Blue Chip' plants grow in manageable, well-branched mounds to only 2′ tall and feature intense blue flowers in spike-like terminal and axillary clusters. Don't fertilize Lo and Behold Blue Chip Buddleia after August.

A sharp cut will heal quicker than a jagged cut, which will also minimize the likelihood of disease investing a cut during pruning. We do not recommend using straight topsoil or compost as a back-fill soil because more times than not these products will...

In general gardening terms, pruning is probably the most misunderstood gardening chore, and certainly, the chore that is most likely neglected. Pruning a specific plant to look a specific way, involves art in creating a unique definition for a specific...

When pruning established Butterfly Bushes where no labeling is present on a variety to identify it, you need to look at the general growth patterns of the plant to be pruned. Fall is the time for Buddleias to begin preparing for dormancy.

As with chemical fertilizers, do not apply it right next to the trunk or stems emerging from the ground.program. Specific plant objectives require specific pruning techniques. Water using the counting method for the first few weeks.

However, slow-release is certainly not the only way to fertilizer Butterfly Bushes. Specific plant objectives require specific pruning techniques. When we specifically look at pruning with regards to Buddleias, this misunderstanding and negligence can...

Helps to keep weeds away which will compete with your new investment for water and nutrients. This is a very loose estimate, so please read the directions on the fertilizer before applying it.
