Many native plants are finishing this year’s bloom period so visit native plant nurseries now to see which flowering plants you wish to bring home to your garden.
Even though manzanitas have finished blooming, their smooth exfoliating bark is enough of an advertisement to persuade you to have them close by all year long. And speaking of natives with interesting bark, you will also want to consider water birch with smooth bronze to blackish bark and western redbud , with smooth gray bark. Where the latter is concerned, avoid acquiring a plant that has been trained into a standard tree since such specimens are prone to sunburn on their trunks.
Also make sure to remove all withered flowers, whether they are still on the plant or have fallen to the ground, as these can harbor fungus diseases. As for fertilization, camellias should receive their first dose now, another dose in six weeks, and another dose six weeks after that for maximum bloom next year. Azaleas should be fertilized now and in later September. Any fertilizer recommended for acid-loving plants will do. Never cultivate around camellias or azaleas due to their shallow roots.
