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.

    • @ShadesofGreenTX
      @ShadesofGreenTX Рік тому

      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.

    • @ShadesofGreenTX

      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.

    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.

    • @ShadesofGreenTX
      @ShadesofGreenTX Рік тому

      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.
