Plants grown in full sun will have much better blooms than those grown in shaded areas. The pink blossoms fade to brown but remain standing on the plant throughout the winter months. Pink muhly grass is easy to grow in full sun and average, well-drained soil. Once established, it is ver...

Well, because it’s crazy aggressive even to the point of being invasive in many garden settings. It’s fine in large, densely shaded areas, but for the average sized shade garden, it takes an incredible amount of work to keep it in check. ...
Plants are popping up vigorously everywhere, and they are adding inches of growth almost overnight. This is a special time when the early bloomers are not yet shaded out by the eventually much taller summer perennials and leafing trees. Below sessile bellwort (Uvularia sessilifolia), twinleaf (...
If you live in the Southern Appalachians, the Carolina silverbell is a great choice for a native flowering tree. The trees thrive in areas around the Great Smoky Mountains, where they grow in rich, moist woods. Garden plantsrequire supplemental irrigation during periods of drought. ...
Another plant native to the Land of Lincoln and suitable for your garden is the spiderwort. It is native to the eastern part of the U.S., extending to parts of Canada such as Ontario. This plant grows one to two feet tall and adapts well to sunny and shaded areas. ...
“This is the case for much less glamorous species,” says Stusick. Native oaks, for example, can support more than 500 moth and butterfly species, whereas non-native trees likely will not support any.Moreover, that close relationship between insects and plants doesn’t just affect the ...
Their fine, fibrous roots are great for controlling erosion and can be planted as a mass groundcover even on steep slopes. These plants are highly versatile and can handle moderate to little watering as well as full sun to partial shade, they also standup well in areas of high winds. In...
Hurricane disturbances produce significant changes in forest microclimates, creating opportunities for seedling regeneration of native and invasive plant species alike. However, there is limited information on how changes in microclimates and pre-existing forest conditions affect native and invasive plants ...
However, there is no data to demonstrate the positive or negative impacts of their removal in these areas. Mangrove ecosystems themselves often resist invasion of other NNS, because the harsh saline conditions do not allow most other invasive plants and trees to establish (Lugo 1998). However, ...
