Plant Name | Common (or my) Name | Care notes | Bloom time | Prune? | Prune when? | Native? | Garden zone | Bloom time |
Achillea ‘Paprika' x 2 | Yarrow. | Cut back after bloom, divide when clumps get crowded. | ||||||
Acanthus x 3 | Dwarf Bear's Breech | Lop off prickly spikes after bloom. Have spreading roots that can become invasive, so give them room, or confine with an 8 inch deep barrier. To propagate, dig and divide between midfall and early spring. Control snails and slugs. | Late spring or summer. | |||||
Adiantum pedatum | Maidenhair fern, Five-finge red Fern, Western Maidenhair | Need steady moisture and soil rich in organic material. Protect from snails and slugs. Scattered in lower woodland beds. | ||||||
Akebia quinata | Five-leaf akebia | Deciduous vine; semievergreen in mild areas. Twines to 15-30 feet. Clusters of quaint, dull purple, vanilla-scented flowers in spring are more a surprise than show. The edible fruit looks like thick, 2.5-4 inch purplish sausage. | yes | Midwinter. Recovers quickly when cut to ground. Can become rampant. | ||||
Arctostaphylos ‘Howard McMinn’ | Manzanita. By Akebia quinata. To 4' tall and wide. Pink flowers, dark red berries. Drought tolerant.</span> |
