I don't understand the fascination with Hoya's ! Everyone is going Nuts for these boring vines. ha Jess; Here's a suggestion for a Native plant that's _Very Drought Tolerant: Callicarpa americana (American Beautyberry) in the Fall it's gorgeous Purple Berries attract Many birds.
Interesting orchids! Hopefully you get blooms soon on all your new plants. You have inspired me to look into native wildflowers for my area. I'm really excited to try my hand at bluebonnets.
How exciting! Natives are so cool, I had no idea that there were so many cultivated varieties…still learning as I go. Super important now since it’s harder to water regular landscape plants these days 😁
Thank you once again for sharing all your plants with us. What a wonderful idea to plant native plants in your garden. I am currently on the hunt for milkweed that is native in my growing zone. Hopefully I will be able to find some. Anyways looking forward to seeing how all your plants and orchids will do for you. Enjoy the rest of your day.
Nice! Buckwheats and those Sages will attract all kinds of wildlife! They really like benign neglect. You have to soak the soil (all over the planting bed not just around the plant) and let them dry, then repeat. If the soil is moist a few inches down, then there's no need to water. If it's really hot and they look beat up, then protect them from the sun with some shade; they don't like taking in water during the heat, so water at night or early in the morning. They don't like frequent watering either, so you have to ensure that the water you give will be enough to last them through heatwaves this late in the planting season. Even though they are natives, they still need water during the establishment phase. Watering natives in the beginning is like an art but after the first or second year, you can just leave them alone or water once a month (especially for the plants that you've chosen). Also, observe how these plants behave in the wild and that might give you a better idea on the conditions they like. If you need advice, feel free to reach out!
Thanks for the advice! I heard the first year is the hardest since they need to get established and afterwards is just tapering off the supplemental water. So hopefully I will do better with these and they’ll mature nicely! 😁
