Plant Profile: Japanese Magnolias

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As spring starts to peek around the corner, Japanese Magnolias burst into a dramatic display that features large tulip shaped purple, pink or white blooms appearing before the leaves.  The large fuzzy buds will also add unique interest to the winter garden making this tree a striking accent to your landscape!

Choose a planting site that is fertile and well drained.  Dig the hole twice as wide as the root ball, but no deeper.  The top of the root ball should be placed so that it is slightly above the surrounding soil level.  Be sure to water regularly to help establish a healthy root system.

“Frostproof Gardenia”

             This evergreen shrub produces fragrant, double,

velvety-white flowers heavily in May and sporadically

through the summer.  Growing 5 feet tall by 4 feet wide, it

fits well in an area where a smaller shrub is needed.  The

leaves provide an attractive medium to fine texture to this

prolific blooming gardenia.

 

 

“Butterfly Pentas”

             Clusters of five-petaled flowers are rich with nectar

and highly attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds.  An

excellent choice for flower beds or containers with continuous blooms from spring until frost.

“Serena Angelonia”

             This outstanding summer bedding plant can be relied upon for dependable garden performance through the hottest summer weather.  Masses of flower spikes cover the plants from spring until frost.  The four soft colors Serena Purple, Serena Lavender, Serena Lavender Pink and Serena White blend together beautifully. This care-free continuous bloomer is

well-suited to landscapes, gardens and mixed containers.

 

“Shoal Creek Vitex”

             If you want a tough, yet gorgeous, shrub or small  tree that is a butterfly/bee/hummingbird magnet, then Vitex Shoal Creek is a must for your garden.  The 12-inch, fragrant flower spikes of deep lavender blue provide a wonderful addition to summer landscape without the work involved with bedding plants.  The flowers appear in May/June with a second flush of flowers in August.  This versatile plant can be trained as a large shrub or small multi-trunked tree about 10 to15 feet tall and wide.          

 

Redbor Kale –

Louisiana Super Plant Fall 2011


Redbor kale produces striking dark red-purple,

 finely curled foliage on plants that will eventually

grow to be about 30 inches tall by early summer.

Plants stay attractive until May, when they should

be replaced with summer bedding plants.


Redbor Kale is a vigorous grower with good cold

tolerance. It is outstanding anywhere you want to 

add rich color and interesting texture. 

“Belinda’s Dream” Rose

Louisiana Super Plant Fall 2011

Belinda’s Dream is one of the best roses for

Louisiana landscapes. This rose has an attractive

shrubby growth habit and excellent disease resistance. 

Bushes reach heights of 5-6 feet with an equal spread,

but they can be easily maintained at 4 feet.

The flowers are medium-pink and fully double with

 the form of hybrid tea roses. The fragrant blooms

are larger than most landscape roses and are produced

spring through fall.                

 

 

 

Spring 2012 Louisiana Super Plants

 

“Senorita Rosalita” Cleome

The magnificent dark leaves on these 3-5 feet tall branches are topped by bright lavender pink flowers blooming with abandon from spring through fall.  This heat and drought tolerant plant adds dramatic height to landscape beds.

 

“BabyWing” Begonias

With smaller leaves than the popular Dragon Wing begonia, Baby Wing sports masses of flowers on upright 12-15 inch plants.  Extremely heat tolerant, it is an ideal choice for beds and containers in part shade.
