Meet the Plant Specialists!
The genus Solidago is what is commonly know as Goldenrod. Ragweed is in the genus Ambrosia, and while both bloom around the same time, they are distinct genera.
Despite their similar appearance, Solidago is not a major allergen – but Ambrosia is !
So, it’s good news – plant as many as you like.
Our beloved Boston ivy that everyone wants planted to grow up bare fences, walls and parapets gets an ugly fungal spot in the summer. It shows itself as a round light-colored area or darkened spot that is bordered in bright red or reddish-brown tint.
Hippeastrum is the genus of the bulbs we actually call Amaryllis ! These are native to South America, from Mexico, the Caribbean, and on down to Argentina.
The name is derived from the Ancient Greek, meaning a "knight's star" from (hippeus, mounted knight) and (astron, star). It is sometimes called Barbados Lily.
An overgrown grass makes your garden look messy and unkempt, especially with the foliage brown. They can also lose their desired shape and structure.
Old dead grass stems also make it difficult for new shoots to emerge in the spring and can harbor pests.
Dead foliage can restrict airflow around the plant's crown, increasing the risk of rot and fungal issues.
