Viburnum, Sargent (Viburnum sargentii)
Read the full profile of this plant | | | Q&A: Geese Eating Flowers Question: What flowers will geese and ducks avoid? We live by a pond and are under seige!
Answer: Unfortunately these birds seem to be fairly indiscriminate in their rampages. Rather than adjusting the plant selection you may need to consider either fencing them out or otherwise deterring them from approaching the plants. A combination of tactics, such as spraying repellents and hanging inflatable "scare eye" balloons and flash tape might work for you. | | | Q&A: Overwintering Bougainvillea Question: How can should I go about overwintering my bougainvillea indoors?
Answer: Place bougainvillea in a location with lots of light if you want them to be leafy and green all winter. Take extra care not to keep them too wet or they will rot. Another approach is to prune them back and place them in a cold--but not bitterly cold--spot and let them go dormant. That might be a protected garage or such an area. They should be able to take it down to about the upper 20's or 30F without being killed. Then in spring move them to a warmer spot and let them resprout and grow. | | | Tip: Protect Container Roses Containerized rose plants need winter protection in most areas. After a few hard frosts, bring the containers into an unheated garage, place them in cardboard boxes and insulate plants by wrapping straw, newspaper, or packing material around them. | |
