Felder Rushing: Asian plants bring beauty to gardens - Jackson Clarion Ledger
Thursday, February 04, 2016Japanese maples, gingko and Japanese magnolias to mainstays such as nandina, hydrangeas, aucuba, cleyera, loropetalum, flowering quince, Burford and other Chinese hollies, and ligustrum. Oh, and hard-to-control privit, bamboo and Wisteria.Really, what would a Southern garden be without azaleas, camellias, spirea, rose of Sharon and gardenias? Heck, we even owe repeat blooming roses to original plants discovered in China. And the shrub that flowers the longest in my garden, attracting the most butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds, is evergreen Abelia — from China.Our perennial flowers borders are filled with Asian beauties as well, starting with the liriope we use for borders, plus daylilies, iris, daffodils, chrysanthemums and lilies, and our shade gardens come alive with ajuga groundcover, hostas and aspidistra or cast iron plant. And we pine for peonies, which made it to North America but often summer in the lower South’s mild winters and hot, humid summers.So “Happy New Year” to the source of many of our treasured, sometimes long-lost garden jewels!Email Felder Rushing at www.felderrushing.netWeekend Garden TipsClean fallen leaves under disease-prone roses, red tip photinia, Indian hawthorn and the like, and apply fresh mulch to bury fungus spores. Thin out cluttered stems to improve air circulation later.Avoid ratty foliage this coming summer by clipping back old leaves of liriope, mondo grass, aspidistra and ferns, before new growth starts later next month. Use sharp shears if possible.Read or Share this story: http://on.thec-l.com/1X5JOJX... http://www.clarionledger.com/story/life/2016/02/04/felder-rushing-asian-plants-bring-beauty-gardens/79812612/
DALY: Several landscape plants have colorful berries - Gwinnettdailypost.com
Wednesday, December 23, 2015The females produce the berries. However, a male plant needs to be in the vicinity for pollination. Hollies come in several sizes, from shrubs to small trees.Burford hollies are some of the most commonly planted hollies in the landscape. They can grow as high as 20 feet, but the dwarf form is most often planted. It grows 6 to 10 feet high and is frequently used as a hedge. Needlepoint hollies are similar to the Burford hollies in their growth habit, but their leaves taper to a narrower point. Several hollies can be used as trees. Savannah hollies can reach 20 to 30 feet high and have a conical to pyramidal growth form. They do require extra fertilizer since they are heavy feeders and will turn light green to yellow and shed their leaves if the soil does not have adequate nutrients. Foster hollies have narrow dark green leaves with a spiny tip. They can reach up to 30 feet in height and have a growth habit similar to the Savannah hollies.Several hollies with attractive berries are deciduous. The possumhaw, which is native to Georgia, grows up to 15 feet. It has glossy green foliage in the summer, which turns yellow in the fall. It produces scarlet to orange berries. The winterberry holly grows to 10 feet and has an oval to round shape. It has dark green foliage in the summer with no significant fall color. Winterberries produce bright red berries that are often in pairs. Possumhaws and winterberries are frequently planted together in groups, and both tolerate wet soils.Pyracanthas produce orange to red berries. They have long sharp thorns and are sometimes referred to as firethorns.

Valentine's Day roses in short supply due to COVID-19: floral industry – Surrey Now-Leader - Surrey Now-Leader
Sunday, February 28, 2021Ontario residents looking to buy Valentine’s Day flowers for their sweethearts may have to branch out from the classic rose bouquet, or consider celebrating on another day, as the COVID-19 pandemic affects floral supply chains, some in the industry say.The health crisis caused many local and international farms to cut flower production or shut down altogether last year, and while operations have largely resumed, supply is still lagging, according to some in the industry.Other factors, such as transportation, are also contributing to the shortage, they say, with a drop in commercial flights and truck shipments that are typically used to haul flowers from South America to Canada via Miami.Demand for flowers has been high throughout the pandemic, however, likely spurred by people’s desire to show affection despite social distancing and to brighten up homes during lockdowns, said Glenn Hofland, owner of the flower wholesaler Hofland, which supplies florists across the country.It’s particul... https://www.surreynowleader.com/trending-now/valentines-day-roses-in-short-supply-due-to-covid-19-floral-industry/
