My daughter and her husband just bought a house and there’s a trellis with two completely feral wisteria plants growing on it. This has given me a clear idea of how to help her rein them in. Thanks!

I love Salvias of all kinds. There are many. But my concern about Amistad and some other varieties, is that they are not native. I am on a mission of planting only native. Non-native plants cost us in the billions of dollars of losses in our country, every year. It impacts not only crops, but harms wildlife. It’s worth looking it up.

Start small and gradually increase your garden area. I would add piles of leafs and other organic matter 18” high, plant in these next spring after they have rotted down. Use kitchen scrapes, mulch, leafs. This pile will provide a home for worms and other biologicals. Dahlia don’t like frost

I have a question: 1)how would I prune back a hugely overgrown and out of control wisteria? It’s growing over a big arbor. There are twisted branches (more like tree trunks). 2)Do you have tips on how to prevent shoots growing back from thick branch/trunk vines I’ve cut off? A spray or paint? Constant trimming? I love the branch system you created. Thank you! 💜

Hi! I'm planning to cover the entire 2 acres of lawn with this plant so no grass will grow anymore. Since it's May and grass is growing, should I wait until winter when grass dies and then throw the seeds in spring? Or can I just throw this invasive species onto the grass and hopefully Ajuga will grow on top of the grass?
@PlantedwithIanCooke
@PlantedwithIanCooke 2 ай бұрын
Which Ajuga do you plan to use. Seed is a great way to establish a large area, I would sow a trial area; one with grass cut short and the clippings left as mulch and one with a herbicide used to kill the grass. Once the seeds germinate and must not dry out. Alternatively you could apply multiple seed applications to the entire area, one application now, one in July, another in September. This would allow you to adjust for patchy growth. It’s a bold plan

I really like the foliage on Rodgersia, it reminds me of brambles AKA Blackberries. Although the Rodgersia doesn't grow everywhere, while being covered in thorns. I think the bramble foliage is underrated, funny how stinging and thorny plants have conditioned us to hate from youth, but are very nice plants if you can see past their faults.

Any advice well appreciated!

Do not plant straight Wisteria sinensis, this invasive, chokes trees and produces viable seed that continue the cycle. You must buy it in flower to be sure of the color. It must be a named cultivar as this ensure you get the spectacular flowers. The videos explain how to prune.
