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
As a person with numerous wood raised beds, I've got to admit the Vego modular beds look very nice. And lasting 20 years is wonderful.
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!
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!!
This is AWFUL information. Onions aren't ROOTS. They're modified stems. You can check my channel for an ACTUAL onion video in a week or so.
Would your channel be good to follow if I am in Cooke County, Tx? I know our soils in TX can vary GREATLY. It seems we have a sandy loam soil? It's sandy the first foot or two and then a mixed clay further down it seems.
For general information, probably yes. Cooke County is in the Cross Timbers and Prairies Eco Region, whereas Collin County is in the Blackland Prairie. Thus far, we've yet to post anything that is so specific it wouldn't be helpful.
@@ShadesofGreenTX Thanks for the info. I am not finding any channels for my area. :( Guess I will just keep trying and figuring it out on my own. Have enjoyed many of your videos, however. :)
How do you manage the Texas heat with goldfish in the pond?
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.
If the water originates from a 16' deep pond it is probably much cooler than it otherwise wood be, I imagine.
That wall looks strong enough to just line with pond liner.
It is, but we wanted to plant in the corners. Also, the builder didn't follow the drawing we gave him. It was supposed to be just wide enough to fit the round tank in. The long tanks were supposed to sit on the wall. Instead of exterior dimensions of 10 feet square he made the interior dimensions 10 feet. When I got back from a 3-day weekend it was already done. :(
Can you propogate mexican sage? & how.
By dividing the plant or by cuttings. See: savvygardening.com/mexican-bush-sage/
Very informative and enjoyable. Thank you. Feline cast members seemed uninterested in the product, though. 🙂
Excellent presentation.
Dang that cat has a long tail. Oh, and the beds look awesome!

🥔 breed ?
The one in the video is a Kennebec.
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.
