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.

Assembling the Vego Garden 6 in 1 Raised Bed Kit
I'm in Wise County. Can confirm soil here is mostly red clay. My second year attempt at growing potatoes (Still a beginner) and instead of growing in a bag like last year, I'll be trying a deep bed method. Thank you for the very useful information!
Can you also plant them in January here in North Texas?
When growing from seed, does it require cold moist stratitication?
I bought this from my local nursery recently and immediately repotted it several sizes up and as soon as the flowers formed I sniped off a little bunch to put in a bud vase with a little rose. I sure hope it likes being cut in a vase!!
The pro choice ad made me not watch the video. Next time pick your advertisers better for TX.
I thought I was the only one instantly irked! Seeing those terrible anti Ted Cruz ads before playing clifford for my little boy I’m like yuckkkk eww go away skipskipskip
They don’t pick the advertisers
He doesn't control ads outside of his recorded content. People are stunning with their misplaced zeal. 🤦🏽♂️
@shawneedunbar3928 i get being a republican, but Ted cruz is trash cmon lmao
I discovered it this summer ‘24 It smells wonderful and is blooming right now (October) in the Santa Cruz mountains . Wasn’t sure if I should cut it back ? But you said it dies back anyway . Thank you .
Mine is in bloom right now for.at.least a couple weeks so beautiful
Love this! Can you do best full sun plants now 🙃
I have looked all over for this plant. I live in Abilene Texas and if anyone knows where I can purchase it please let me know.
Thank you!
Love the sense of humor even though it wasn’t what you wanted. As they say “Live and learn” ❤
I planted my Mexican Bush Sage back in the spring. (I’m zone 8b, Central Mississippi.) It’s grown tremendously since planted but not the first bloom yet. Plenty of hot sun. Any advice appreciated.
Santa Barbara variety is dwarf and smaller .
But what if the top looks like that, but the bottom of the trunk is brown underneath?
Do you cut it to the ground when it dies to let it grow for next yr?
Would it be happy as a container plant?
📃And your Lord has inspired the bees to build dwellings in the mountains and in the trees and in what they erect, so follow humbly the paths of your Lord and eat of all the fruits from their bellies comes a drink of various colors, in which. there is healing for people. Indeed, this is a sign for a people who reflect📃
I discovered this beautiful plant while vacationing at a resort in Tucson, Az. Now home in Buckeye Az, it is growing in my garden and I have seedlings coming up in pots. Thanks for your informative video Tim.
The area around our front door is in deep shade. I've had trouble establishing plants in that area. Which plants on the list would be the best for deep shade?
Is that just one plant?
This was great, thank you!
Why water a useless lawn that needs a lot of water when you can water something useful like organic vegetables
Why is it illegal to have a vegetable garden in my front lawn in dallas
Thank you! Great info!
Dope
Thank you for this great video! Do you ever do videos for shade designs for flower beds or large rounded beds under live oaks? I am not sure how to arrange these plants to look there best. Thanks again!
Tallest to the back.Then graduated down in mature height. Read the label to find height or listen to this and take notes. Good luck.
I wonder if the screws and nuts are rust resistant
All the hardware is stainless steel.
Thank you VERY much for all the information. The ponds look great
Thank you for this. Which of these are the most drought tolerant?
Awesome! Question what does it means has a reddish fresh look?
These videos are great! Just discovered them, just south of you in North Dallas. Thanks for the help.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching. :D
Thanks for another informative video from Shades of Green. Keep them coming
Good video. Would like to see more of this type of video
My yard is full of wonderful live oaks but holy crap all the land underneath them is barren! And that’s like my whole yard!!!
I have a stackable system inside, but do not use a lid so there is no problem of lack of airflow.
What grate/atrium did you use for your stand pipes? Cant find anything similar to it
They're called Suction Strainers (or sometimes "banjos" - like the musical instrument). You'll have to hunt for ones over 2" in diameter. Here's one source: webbsonline.com/Category/Suction-Strainers ---- Dickson Brothers in Mesquite, TX has lots of sizes in stock and is where I got mine. www.dicksonbrothers.com/
@@ShadesofGreenTX thank you! By chance with your bog filter did you end up having to design a drain/flush for it?
@@mrtarango32 We did not, and so far it hasn't been an issue. In a year or two, we might need to do a cleanout, but so far so good.
Excellent video.
will four nerve daisy do well in texas zone 9a such as houston area? ty
Yes, if you can keep it dry. :) It likes to be dry. In the warmer climate, you could see it bloom 11 or even 12 months of the year.
Do you mulch garlic
I do. I use leaf litter - rake up leaves and shred them with my lawn mower.
Great advice! Y'all are the best. Keep up the good work.
I have 2 planted in Southern Nevada. They keep being eaten to the ground by rabbits, i just put small fences around them. One is in full sun and the other in part sun. They’re on 2 gallon/hr drips that go off once a day for 15 minutes. Is this too much or not enough water? We are drier here than Texas
If they are new plants that *may* be adequate water. Once they're established (after being in the ground 6 months or so), I would back off on the water.
Very informative video , thanks .
How do you store your potatoes. No root cellar here in North TX and it's really hot all the time.
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.
How did you level the dirt that the main tank sits on? I'm setting my 8' stock tank right now, but all I have is a flat shovel and a rock rake!
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.
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 oh good, maybe it will bloom. It’s two plus feet and in a big pot. I’m shocked at how much it’s grown this summer. It’s beautiful. I’ll be watching for blooms and definitely won’t touch until the proper time. Thanks so much for helping me. I have three different kinds and loving them. All the lavender I buy always dies. I discovered salvia and fell in love with it. My annual didn’t do well after we had so much rain. Everything thing else is good.
Please update at season's end, this September!!
