Gardener’s Corner | Questions and Answers with Local Experts<\/strong><\/h4>\n

By Dan Songster, 2017 July<\/p>\n

This column is a regular newsletter feature offering chapter members and local experts a chance to briefly share information on many things related to gardening with natives. The request for this edition of the newsletter is: \u201c<\/em><\/strong>With summer\u2019s heat arriving, what native plants do you have in your landscape that look great despite the expected high temperatures?<\/strong>\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Laura Camp<\/strong>: \u201cJojoba,\u00a0Simmondsia chinensis<\/em>, is my favorite high temp, full sun to part sun shrub. Also,\u00a0Salvia californica<\/em>, from Baja, seems to get bigger and prettier as the summer goes on.<\/p>\n

Brad Jenkins<\/strong>: \u201cStarting at the top of the list are toyon, California buckwheat, and saw-tooth goldenbush. Bonus… the last two flower during the summer as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ron Vanderhoff<\/strong>: \u201cHow about any of our native milkweeds? I especially like narrow-leaved milkweed (Asclepias fascicularis<\/em>), which is simple to grow and a native plant right here in Orange County from the coast to the inland hills. Milkweeds are also summer growers, so the hot weather doesn\u2019t faze them too much and of course the Monarch butterflies could not be happier.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bob Allen<\/strong>: \u201c<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. manzanitas;<\/li>\n
  2. lemonade berry;<\/li>\n
  3. toyon;<\/li>\n
  4. holly-leaved cherry;<\/li>\n
  5. desert & California grapes;<\/li>\n
  6. bladder pod;<\/li>\n
  7. chaparral yucca;<\/li>\n
  8. California, gray coast, and Santa Cruz Island buckwheats;<\/li>\n
  9. California bay laurel;<\/li>\n
  10. tecate cypress;<\/li>\n
  11. …..\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Mark Sugars<\/strong>: \u201cIn my yard,\u00a0Rhus integrifolia\u00a0<\/em>(lemonadeberry),\u00a0Eriogonum fasciculatum\u00a0<\/em>var.\u00a0fasciculatum\u00a0<\/em>(California buckwheat) and\u00a0Vitis girdiana\u00a0<\/em>(desert wild grape) do not seem to care how hot it gets.\u201dLeon Baginski<\/strong>: \u201cManzanita and Catalina cherry. Both top performers in my yard.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Celia Kutcher<\/strong>: \u201cFrangula\u00a0<\/em>(Rhamnus<\/em>) \u2018Eve case\u2019,\u00a0Salvia apiana<\/em>,\u00a0Eriogonum fasciculatum<\/em>,\u00a0Rhus integrifolia<\/em>,\u00a0Eriogonum giganteum<\/em>,\u00a0Galvesia speciosa<\/em>, and\u00a0Heteromeles arbutifolia\u00a0<\/em>(which gets extra groundwater from the neighbor\u2019s turf).\u201d<\/p>\n

    Mike Evans<\/strong>: \u201cAll of ’em if the garden is planned and cared for properly.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Sarah Jayne:\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cPerhaps the most appreciated native plant in my landscape during days of intense heat is my sycamore that casts a large pool of deep cool shade.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Dan Songster<\/strong>: \u201cAgain, the Buckwheats stand out with the blossoms aging to a rust color as the summer really gets hot. Great variety in both plant and flower size (and colors) with low growing forms of California buckwheat (and scarlet buckwheat, and Conejo buckwheat) all the way up to the large Saint Catherine\u2019s Lace. It seems like everything in between is also great: ashyleaf buckwheat, Santa Cruz Island buckwheat, etc.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
