October-December Texas Native Plants By Josephine Keeney Flame Acanthus, Hummingbird Bush, Anisacanthus quadrifidus var. wrightii Acanthaceae (Acanthus Family) This is the plant for you, if you are looking for a beautiful plant that can take the Texas heat and survive with very little water and care. I have never seen it bothered by insects or disease in the fifteen years that I have been growing native plants, that really means a lot, and it is something that can hardly be said about other hardy plants. This shrub is deciduous and has light colored brittle wood, it is cold hardy in the DFW area and likes to wait for the weather to warm up before putting on new growth in the spring. The new stems are square and the leaves are small and light green, growing opposite to each other with no serration on the edges. The bloom period is from June to frost in this area of North Central Texas. Flame Acanthus can be pruned or sheared to suit your desired size or shape, it bounces back quickly and rewards you with many bright tubular orange-red blooms that attract attention from far away. But if all these virtues weren’t enough, the bright tubular flowers attract all the hummers and butterflies in the neighborhood, making it a delight to watch. It also happens to be a host plant for the Crimson Patch, Texan Crescent and Cyna Blue butterflies. Considering all these good points: Flame Acanthus should have a very special place in the yard and especially in the butterfly garden. CONSERVATION PRESERVATION RESTORATION EDUCATION Outreach & Communications Guy By George McBride Hello there fellow Master Naturalist, hope all is well with you. With my age and being on oxygen I guess I'm semi-retired- I am still still active with all of you. I am in charge of the Speakers Bureau. Go to our web-site and click it on. You will see different speakers on this list. Each one has a toppic they can lecture about. Each lecture should be at least 30 minutes or so. If you are good about speaking let me know and you will be put on this list. I can be reached at: cell: 817-247-6715 or [email protected] CONSERVATION PRESERVATION RESTORATION EDUCATION Novice “Butterfly” Gardener By Carla Savage Those acquainted with me know; I have spent much of my time in the garden my entire life. In my case that just means I love being outside where the living things reside! Early on this would include my mother’s garden, her gardening friends’ yards and gardens in which she volunteered. Since then I have always dabbled with plants and dirt, (black, red, gold, rich deep brown) whether inside or outside, experiencing successes and losses along the way. I have also gardened with native plants found on the land I have lived and with seeds and plants I have gathered, whether along the roadside or at abandoned homesteads. My philosophy with plants was pretty much inherited from my mom who would experiment with tiny micro-climes in her yard, planting here and there and then moving next autumn, “it looks unhappy here...let’s try this!” I watched and admired her oneness with the surroundings, the totality of her experience and appreciation and interconnectedness with all forms of living organisms. I laugh when I recall a friend perusing my yard and telling me I garden “funny”. She said, “You just stick plants all over”. And that has been true. I never have been good at the orderly English cottage type garden my sister and brother were so successful in creating; I just enjoy sharing the space. Years ago my Cross Timbers yard was truly an oasis of greenery, the sprinklers running virtually non-stop, but the severe droughts changed my feelings immeasurably and I came to appreciate even more the plants that are resilient to the climate and soils North Texas offers. Folks visiting my yard comment they “don’t have a green thumb” and I tell them they are just using the wrong plants. Use the plants that are happy here, I tell them. Use the ones that don’t need to be babied as much, as I make suggestions and offer the wherefores and whys, maybe clipping a cutting or digging a start for them to take home. After meeting Dale Clark recently (local butterfly aficionado and expert of the Dallas Lepidopterist Society) and visiting his butterfly nursery my heart went pitter-patter and my enthusiasm took a leap. If you have never accepted Dale’s invitation for visitors to his yard in autumn, save the date. It is an experience you are not likely to soon forget. Prolific in his yard are both nectar and host plants for many species of butterfly, in a similar casual manner of arrangement to my own. Migratory and resident butterflies flit to and fro, sometimes alighting Long enough for a photo opportunity. The day I attended his open house, I decided then and there I would proceed in planting some species I hadn’t currently entertained in an area I have been saving for that particular venture, not far from several of my critter watering holes, but in great view of my kitchen window and balcony. Reminding myself of lessons learned from the Native Plant Society landscaping classes attended last year, volunteering in native plant gardens, gathering wild seed, dividing my existing perennials, supporting the native plant sales hosted by the Dallas Discovery Gardens and the Fort Worth Native Plant Society and sharing with friends, I was well on my way with new stock last fall. Always remember that when first planting a new garden bed it will appear a little sparse, but very rapidly the plants will take hold and spread or reseed. I was rewarded with a year of welcome regular rain showers, not very common in North Central Texas, and this year has been a journey of new beginnings and of our first fronts of the season, I saw handfuls of species fluttering about. While doing gardening chores (pulling a few blades of grass that don’t belong, feeding and watering the birds, spreading compost) I have learned the different habits and preferences of several of the types of butterflies. I have also had future plans reeling in my head with new trellis ideas, expanding to additional planting areas, perusing books and seed catalogs for new plants to add this autumn. If you are interested and have a few available spaces in your yard, consider adding a native plant or two to enhance color, beauty and diversity in your yard and sit back and enjoy the experience of inviting the delightful flutterbys of the wonderful butterflies.

  • FLAME ACANTHUS OR HUMMINGBIRD BUSH Anisacanthus Quadrifidus Var
    FLAME ACANTHUS OR HUMMINGBIRD BUSH Anisacanthus quadrifidus var. wrightii (A. wrightii) Characteristics Type: Perennial Maintenance: Low Zone: 7 to 10 Flower: Showy Height: 3.00 to 5.00 feet Attracts: Hummingbirds, Butterflies Spread: 3.00 to 4.00 feet Other: Winter Interest Bloom Time: June to September Tolerate: Deer, Drought, Clay Soil, Bloom Description: Reddish orange Shallow-Rocky Soil Sun: Full sun Texas Native Water: Dry Culture From midsummer through frost, flame acanthus is covered with long, slender, red or orange blooms that hummingbirds love. It is a drought tolerant, heat-loving small shrub that works as well in the perennial border as it does as an informal hedge or specimen plant. The bark is light and flaky and makes an interesting winter and early spring accent. Flame acanthus is late to come out in the spring, and benefits from periodic shearing or even severe cutting back in early spring. It grows in the Edwards Plateau on rocky banks and floodplains, but is adaptable to sunny, well-drained exposures throughout the state, even Houston. It is a good choice for sites with poor soils and reflected heat - although supplemental water in dry summer months will encourage flowering. Best grown in medium to dry, well-draining soils in full sun, but is adaptable to many soil types including poor, rocky soils and heavy, clay soils. Tolerant of drought, and takes well to pot culture. Noteworthy Characteristics Anisacanthus quadrifidus var. wrightii, is an upright, deciduous shrub reaching up to 5' tall and 4' wide with an informal, spreading appearance. It is native to extreme south-central Texas and adjacent northern Mexico, where it is found growing on rocky, calcareous slopes and floodplains.

    Firewise Plant List - Texas This list was created as a reference and an aid in publishing other list. For that reason many features of a typical list such as flower color and growth rate or final size have been omitted since some characteristics vary greatly over the range that this list is intended to cover. The only two characteristics on this list are for the general form. In the form, "wildflower" is used for almost any plant that is not obviously a tree, woody shrub, groundcover, or vine (even in that regard, many list will disagree with others). Wildflowers include both annuals and perinials This column is not intended as a reference, just to aid in finding and grouping plants. For the most part, varieties were not separated.

  • Late Summer Heat Lovers Sep08.Pdf
    BELL COUNTY MASTER GARDENER Tip of the Week by Mary Lew Quesinberry Late Summer Heat Lovers Many of our native plants and plants naturalized to Bell County thrive when our temperatures are highest. Four Nerve Daisy (Hymenoxys), Blackeyed Susan (Rudebeckia hirta), Mexican Honeysuckle (Justicia spicigera), Golden Bush Daisy (Viguiera stenoloba), Lindheimer Senna (Senna lindheimeriana), Flowering Senna (Cassia corymbosa), Yellow Bird of Paradise (Caesalpinia gillesii), Texas Lantana (Lantana horrida), Esperanza/Yellow Bells (Tecoma stans) and Chocolate Daisy (Berlandiera lyrata) are heat-loving plants with yellow/orange color. Flame Acanthus (Anisacanthus quadrifidus), Turks Cap ( Malvaviscus arboreus), Pride of Barbados (Orgullo de Barados), Autumn Sage (Salvia greggii) are red, drought tolerant plants. Add the cool colors of Purple Cone Flower, Gregg's Mistflower(Eupatorium greggii, Mealy Blue Sage (Salvia farinacea), Cat Thyme (Teucrium maum), Cat Mint (Nepeta faassenii), Lavender, or Blackfoot Daisy (Melampodium leucanthum) for a pleasant contrast and you have a beautiful array of colorful blooms in the worst of our summer weather. When adding these drought tolerant, heat lovers to your garden please remember to add some grit such as decomposed granite or washed builder's sand to the soil. These plants must have good drainage to do well in our Central Texas clay. When planting, remember to gently tease the root ball to encourage the plant to stretch out its roots, otherwise it will continue to grow in a circular pattern and this can girdle and will kill the plant. Place your plant in a shallow hole with the soil line of the plant an inch above the ground. More plants die from being planted too deeply than from any other cause.
