GARDENING TIPS TO MAKE HOME YOUR HAPPY PLACE
To prune or not to prune.
If that is the question, here's your answer!
Winter Plant Pruning For Northeast Florida
January is the appropriate time in Northeast Florida to prune roses and deciduous plants, including crape myrtles, pears, and plums. Even Double Knock Out roses that bloom every 5-6 weeks from Spring to frost should be pruned once a year around this time of year through early Spring. Evergreens, in general, can be pruned any time of year. Prune your azaleas after they bloom. Bloom times widely vary depending on the variety. “Bloom times are divided into three flowering groups of early, mid, and late or fall flowering varieties,” wrote Lorna King for Garden’s Path. The early group starts to flower roughly from February to April. Midseason is May and June. And the late group flowers mid-July to October. It would be best to prune reblooming azaleas after the Spring bloom only—pruning after the Fall blooms could stimulate growth which is put at risk by Winter cold.
Camellia the Queen of Winter
For Reliable Winter blooms
add the beauty of a camellia bush to your landscape.
Perfect as a feature planting or even as a hedge. The camellia's dark green glossy leaves are evergreen for an attractive year-round plant. Then as the temperatures drop, when you see other plants' blooms fade, they take the throne.

Introducing A New Monthly Feature
Container Gardening - a recipe for happiness!
Each month be sure to check out our latest recipe.

Our first recipe is a full sun cool weather planter.
This recipe follows the basic concept of combining "thrillers, fillers, and spillers."
Thrillers are the dramatic tall plants, fillers the mid-size plants that will grow in nicely, and spillers are blooming or vining plants that will "spill "over the edge of your planter.
1. Angelonia, an upright bloomer, is placed at the back of the pot.
2. Ornamental Cabbage adds color and fills the mid-space perfectly.
3. Alyssum will continue to bloom and grow, flowing over the edge of the container.
