Lemongrass Hardiness Zone

Sweet Olive (Osmanthus fragrans) Described as the sweetest floral fragrance in the plant kingdom, the Sweet Olive is an evergreen plant of modest stature that displays clusters of cream-colored miniature flowers.

It will reward you with stunning flowers the whole season long. Clematis ‘Diamond Ball' is a vigorous grower and disease resistant. In the early spring, simply prune to 18” tall.

This showy plant makes an excellent houseplant since it filters indoor toxins from the air and is an indestructible houseplant. Sweetly fragrant white flowers bloom during the long days of summer or when the plant is under stress.

When it's time to harvest, leave the berries on the vine until they are bright red for the sweetest flavor. Goji is a sprawling vine with grey green leaves, purple flowers and juicy, bright red berries.

Dwarf Chinese Lantern ‘Gnome' (Physalis alkekengi var. Franchetii) Grown for its decorative, bright orange, lantern-like coverings over its fruits, Dwarf Chinese Lantern is a new shorter variety that only grows about 10” tall and is ideal for containers.

It flowers on new wood each year so you'll need to prune it back by about one-third in late fall or early spring. Mature flowers are dark pinkish-red and remain colorful for months.

Their goal was to develop roses that could survive the deep cold of the prairie Provinces and States where the standard floribunda, grandiflora and hybrid teas are grown essentially as annuals! The Parkland roses are generally of lower stature than the...

My experience has been that the western book is commonly sold in bookstores and in some nurseries and of course both books are sold by online dealers. Summers are cool but the longer days of summer are helpful for plant growth.Boise, Idaho, Salt Lake...

A south-facing slope has a longer growing season, but you must factor in its greater exposure. (I will add that to my wish list.)In the meantime, as you begin your fall cleanup, watch for those areas where plants survive a light frost.

Ok everyone, hold up a trowel if you know what USDA Hardiness Zone you're in. "Micro-climates" in your landscape can be utilized by planting in a south-facing sunny site against a brick wall, for example, thus expanding your options for using heat-loving...

Both situations make for a weakened palm, much more likely to suffer or die during a cold snap.Fertilization is not quite as detrimental in terms of frost damage as it might be in trees and shrubs.Fertilizing shrubs/trees late in the season often promotes...

So these palms do not mind the humidity as much as the combination of warmth and humidity.Yet none of these peculiarities would begin to be gleaned from these palm's cold hardiness ratings.Tolerances to salt, poor draining soil, wind etc.

Considered a moderately growing species, this solitary feather palm prefers situations with mostly morning sun, or coastal sun, and not too much wind. Allagoptera arenaria has pretty good cold hardiness to about 25F, and it is a good palm in both sun...

These shrubs are wonderful additions to the landscape, complimenting blue, purple and red flowers or contrasting with yellows, oranges and white. In part 2 of this 3 part series, I will discuss those hardy (zone 5 and colder) shrubs whose main claim-to-fame...

Wind delays this from happening, unless the cold event is actually a hard freeze event, which is a horse of another color entirely.When a cold event happens, even if you don't see any noticeable damage the next day, damage may still have occurred.

They can mark property lines, different areas of a garden, line a walkway or a driveway. As a hedge or windbreak, you can't get much prettier than a Lilac. They would need to be replaced.My grandfather made me a fan of the hedge.

After the harvest is in, as the trees lose their leaves and the grass stops growing, it is time to prepare for winter. Working organic material into the vegetable garden soil for next year.Chipped and shredded garden waste from earlier in the season.

In cooler areas such as Zone 5 and 6 gardens, this can be an even bigger challenge to fight with Mother Nature's unpredictable last freezes and cool ground temperatures. For example, plant asparagus and broccoli starting in mid April, not the first of...

Frost may be pretty, but its bite is hard on your bark.This tomato was able to survive to ripen seed after its neighbors had frozen.Christmas lights provide several degrees of protection from "waste" heat.This Valencia has survived when outdoor temperatures...

The rose cones cost about $6.75 per cone, and if you have a lot of roses, the cost will add up quickly. Try not to smack them too hard with the shovel while creating these protective mounds.I recommend cutting any excessively long stems, then flood the...

The estimated time of emergence listed are general guidelines for Zones 4 through 6, but may vary according to plant location and your specific microclimate. The fuzzy green-gray leaves begin to emerge in early spring, and quickly begin to climb and grow...

These plants should never be allowed to dry out completely. How often should I water lemongrass? Containers need good potting mix with plenty or organic compost mixed in. Is an exotic plant native to Southeast Asia.

Again, take a couple of inches off the top of the grown plant and place them in water in a glass on a window sill. When you get home, trim a couple of inches off the top of the lemongrass plants and peel away anything that looks somewhat dead.

Water and fertilize frequently. Absolutely! In fact, growing lemongrass indoors is a necessity in colder climates, as lemongrass grown outdoors. Fill the potting mix in around it and set the plant in a sunny place to grow.Care for indoor lemongrass plants...

Sometimes, you may find it in the local supermarket or obtain a cutting from a friend. It is winter hardy to only USDA zone 10, but can beused as lemongrass. Cease fertilizing during the winter when the plant goes dormant.

If the plant is especially root bound, you may have to really work at it and there's a chance you'll have to break the container.Once the plant is out, use a trowel or a serrated knife to divide the root ball into two or three sections.
