White Mistflower - Ageratina havanensis
In this episode, Tim Wardell, Texas Certified Nursery Professional and Marketing Manager at Shades of Green Nursery + Landscape, discusses White Mistflower (Ageratina havanensis), a great native Texas perennial.
White Mistflower - Ageratina havanensis / Eupatorium havanense
• Native Texas herbaceous perennial / deciduous shrub
• 2-3 feet tall x 3-4 feet wide
• Plant in full sun to part shade
• Fragrant, fuzzy white flowers from late summer to fall attract butterflies
• Very heat & drought tolerant
• Hardy in Zone 8-10
• Also called Havana Snakeroot, Shrubby Boneset, & Fragrant Mist Flower
* Fragrant Mistflower (Chromolaena odorata) is a different plant. See www.wildflower.org/plants/result.php?id_plant=CHOD. However, many sources, including some of those listed below, call White Mistflower (Ageratina havanensis) by the name Fragrant Mistflower and/or Fragrant White Mistflower. This is why we use Latin in horticulture. Plants can have dozens of common names. Latin increases the likelihood that we're talking about the same plant.

    • @ShadesofGreenTX
      @ShadesofGreenTX Před 11 měsíci

      A dark corner or bottom shelf of a pantry will do it. Though you probably won't be able to store them for several months as you could if you lived up north and had an actual root seller. My parents used a potato storage bin in the pantry. It's basically a box with a lid to prevent light from reaching the spuds and causing them to sprout. It will also have holes for ventilation. Do a search for "potato storage bin" and you'll find dozens of optioins.

    • @ShadesofGreenTX
      @ShadesofGreenTX Před 11 měsíci

      You'll need a tamp (tamper) to pack the dirt/soil. If it's loose, the tank will shift when it's full of water and won't be level. You can find them at any big box store: www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-51-in-Steel-Handle-8-in-x-8-in-Tamper-77335-949/315067860 -- Tamp down the higher end and/or move soil to the lower end.

    I know this is an older video but I so need to know if I’ve goofed. I got the sage salvia in early spring. It didn’t have a bunch of blooms on it. I read spring was when it blooms so I’m thinking it was done with flowering. I trimmed or dead headed the few blooms that was on it. It’s gotten huge but no more blooms. Should I have cut it back in late spring??? Or not prune like I did, well didn’t prune. I see gardeners with beautiful blooms now. It’s early August. Is now a good time to cut back. It’s grown so tall and full. Thank you.

    • @ShadesofGreenTX
      @ShadesofGreenTX Před 11 měsíci

      Mexican bush sage blooms heaviest in the summer and fall. It may start blooming in the spring, but tends to bloom more and more throughout the growing season. I've personally never cut mine back in the spring, as I want it to grow full size for the space I have it in. (It can get 3-5 feet tall, with 3-4 feet being the average.) I don't touch it all season. Instead, I leave it alone until late fall / early winter. By that time, it should be a bundle of dried, upright stems. I snap those off at the ground and that's the only "pruning" I do. It will send up new growth in the spring. -- Like you, I've discovered that pruning it spring can sometimes adversely affect the bloom. That's why I leave it alone. If yours is too big for your space, you might look for a dwarf variety like Santa Barbara, which grows 2-3 feet tall. -- If yours has grown tall and full, it's obviously healthy. Keep an eye out for buds. My guess is you'll have an explosion of blooms in September and October. A fertilizer for flowering plants might also help. If it's organic, use as directed. If it's synthetic, consider using at half strength. -- Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

    • @ShadesofGreenTX
      @ShadesofGreenTX Před rokem

      The 24" depth helps as does the shade from the water lilies. There's also a 50% shade cloth suspended overhead. Even without the shade cloth the depth and water lilies would be enough. Our tank is also surrounded by soil and plants which also helps. Were this tank out in full sun, with the metal exposed to the sun, then we'd have a serious problem and the fish would most likely overheat and die.

    Lantana is a pest plant if gets out in the wild it will take over everything in its way. When I was young I mean when I was still going to school my uncle bought a dairy farm that was nearly taken over by this pest, and my cousin and I used to spend all our school holidays removing it. We used to use an old crawler tractor to pull it out then put it in a pile for burning. All for the princely sum of 20 cents a day and a body covered in scratches from this lantana.

    Our new neighbors moved in and had someone come in and cut the beautiful live oak off that lives between our homes off at the joints. 😩. I’m not an arborist by any means and I knew that was not how to prune it. When my husband and I saw it we were so disappointed. Now we have to watch it slowly deteriorate and what’s worse is it’s in the front yard. It’s quite sad. We’ve also had to very kindly ask them not to continue to spray weed killer through our chain link fence on windy days might I add because guess what, that’s where my garden is. Oh and to top it all off, he’s a “lawn care guy” trying to build his business. Thanks but no thanks.
