The plant might require minimal care, such as cutting back runners two or three times a year and cutting the flower spikes after they finish their show of blooms. This groundcover plant tolerates moist to moderately dry soil and has a centralized root system. Bugleweed is unfussy and grows in most soil conditions without much help from the gardener--this makes Ajuga reptans an ideal garden solution for anyone who wants a plant that will take over, choke out weeds, and remain carefree and beautiful for a long season.

Regardless of origins, the tiger lily is well-suited to the moderate USDA growing zones, well-adapted and adopted by many Americans. It grows in mixed sun and shade or full sun, reaching a mature height of around three feet. Don't be fooled by the regal appearance; this flower is relatively easy to grow and maintain.

Tiger lily leaves are narrow, forming an elongated oval shape. The texture is smooth, and they have a green hue similar to the stem. The most easily recognizable feature of the tiger lily is the orange blossom with dark chocolate spots. Of course, the orange and brown tiger-like color scheme lends the tiger lily its name. Each large blossom opens to display six flamboyant petals, each with a graceful curve. The flower's centers are creamy white or yellow--and long--making the flower even more intriguing. In most growing zones, the plants begin their annual growth cycle in late spring and blossom in the latter half of summer--late July or August.

Plant your tiger lily bulbs in the fall or early spring, allowing a lot of space for bulb development. The tiger lily wants a healthy compost feeding in the early spring and a layer of woody mulch before winter. If your area receives rainfall once a week, you won't need to water it; however, it will need watering in drier climates.

However, Americans today enjoy this sunshine-loving flower in practically every growing zone--even as far south as Florida. You can find them growing unattended in some harshest conditions, like at the edges of woods, in storm ditches, or alongside highways. This self-seeding flower is prolific, so the lovely flowers multiply from one season to the next. The plant is drought-tolerant, heat-tolerant, and cold-hardy, returning to life each spring, even in frigid climates. Brown Eyed Susan Is a Biennial Perennial refers to a longer-living plant that comes back every year. Technically, Brown Eyed Susan is a biennial.

This moss performs best in a moist, shaded area or semi-shaded location, out of direct sunlight.  You might also hear some gardeners call it by the other common names:  Log moss Brocade moss Feather moss Carpet moss Fern moss   Each of those describes the same plant--Hypnum curvifolium.   Depending on environmental factors, this moss appears yellow-green to bright-green, with a slightly fuzzy appearance. It looks like a plush green carpet once it matures.   Hypnum curvifolium Looks Lavish in Your Landscaping.   If you have a sparse lawn due to a lack of sunshine or a stone or brick walkway that needs some greenery between each step, consider adding sheet moss.    Hypnum curvifolium has a classic charm that adds the perfect finishing touch to your landscaping projects.   Besides giving your finished look a charming look, adding moss to bare spots in your yard can help decrease soil erosion and help retain the soil's nutrients.   How Else Can You Use Sheet Moss?  While some apply sheet moss to their landscaping projects, it is also a helpful houseplant and is relatively easy to propagate.   Many people grow sheet moss in a terrarium, where it provides a soft texture and emits a mild, spring-like fragrance.

Blackberry Plant Blackberry Plant: If you have a partially wooded yard with plentiful sunshine or mixed shade spots, a blackberry plant might make an excellent addition. When customers call TN Nursery for advice on easy-care fruit-bearing options, we often suggest the blackberry plant.  Unlike fruit trees, which can take several years to bear fruit, the blackberry plant might give you a few berries in the first season, ramping up production season after season until year three. Once mature, it will supply you with ten to twenty pounds of berries for the next twenty to twenty-five years.  The Rustic Charm of a Blackberry Plant  The blackberry plant grows in brambles or thickets, thriving in sunny clearings at the edges of woods or a forest. The North American native plant thrives in full sun or partial sun--a bright spot is a requirement for producing plump and luscious berries. The first year you plant your blackberry plant, it will develop a few clusters of petite, pretty white flowers. Those flowers may produce a handful of berries during the first season. The blooms will produce small white berries that plump up as they mature. The berries appear white at first, then reddening to an almost burgundy color and eventually a rich violet to black. Ripe blackberries are juicy, sweet, and plump. As the plant matures, it grows wider and taller, topping at around six feet. They bring lazy summer days and fresh pies (or scrumptious cobblers) to mind. Can't you imagine the sweet juices drizzling down your chin as you bite into a lush berry?  How to Grow a Blackberry Plant  The blackberry plant requires a full-sun to partial-sun location for the berries to develop and ripen fully.  Blackberry plants need approximately one inch of water weekly, especially as the blossoms and berries develop. That's because the berry contains a high water content. You will not need to assist your plant if your region receives ample weekly rainfall. However, gardeners in arid locations must help the blackberry plant by supplying water.  Although it likes moisture, the blackberry plant does not like wet feet. Instead, it prefers soil that drains relatively quickly. You'll also need to fertilize it in the springtime as the blossoms develop--that food will nourish the plant and help it produce abundantly.  Order Your Blackberry Plant From TN Nursery Do you crave the goodness of home-grown blackberries?

Shasta Daisy: The common shasta daisy is among the most recognizable flowers in a border garden or flower bed. This full-sun loving perennial is easy to grow and take care of. TN Nursery often recommends this flower to beginner gardeners looking for flowers that will bloom without too much fuss. The shasta daisy is a European native species that flourishes in North America and has become a prevalent species in gardens nationwide.  Shasta Daisy's artful appearance  Almost everyone can identify a shasta daisy. This classic garden flower grows in small, attractive clumps approximately two to three feet wide. The leaves and stems are a satisfying, glossy green, growing about two feet high. This height makes the shasta daisy an ideal option for cutting for an artful bridal bouquet or a casual arrangement in a vase.  As beautiful as the foliage is, perhaps the most noteworthy feature of this daisy is the telltale bloom. The blossoms have ovate, crisp white petals, sometimes with just a hint of blush pink around the margins. The petals surround a sunny, bright yellow face that lifts its head to the bright sunshine each day. Shasta daisy blooms from the late spring through the middle of summer.  How to Use the Shasta Daisy in Your Garden  The shasta daisy is more than enchanting blooms--they are a workhorse that you can put the fresh white flowers to work to brighten up any part of a sunny garden.  You can grow the shasta daisy in a pollinator garden with other bee-attracting plants like milkweed or butterfly bush. Choose the shasta daisy for a border garden. Its two to three-foot mature height makes it ideal for a middle border row. Plant the shasta daisy in a full-sun garden--it welcomes the sunshine. How to Grow the Shasta Daisy  Shasta daisy needs a full-sun or filtered sun location that receives about six to eight hours of daylight daily. Although you can plant the shasta daisy in a shadier place for lovely greenery, it will not bloom in the shade.  It is cold-hardy and will return every spring. All it needs is fresh mulch in the fall in the coldest regions and fertilizer about twice per year. It is drought-tolerant in the summer; water it only during extended dry spells.  Shasta Daisy can be purchased from TN Nursery Today.  The Shasta daisy is a whimsical classic garden species.
