Shrub Varieties
A cardinal rule in gardening and landscaping is the proper placement of the proper plant in the proper environment. The proof of this rule clearly is seen in a shrub that grows poorly or looks out of place in the wrong setting. Typical questions relate to the different adaptations, habitat needs, landscape functions, problem pests, and survival threats of the many different varieties of shrubs.

Why does sea water kill plants?
Asked by Wiki User
Normally there are more solvents in the water inside the plant.
Water flows in, but salt water has lots of solvents (the salt) so the water flows back out. So eventually, plants die from dehydration.
They won't die right after they move to salt water.
But they will they after several days.

Are verbena frost tolerant?
Asked by Wiki User
Verbena is a common name that applies to all species of the genus Verbena. The genus features many different species in cultivation which hail from a wide range of climates. There has been a tremendous amount of breeding with these plants due to their natural drought resistance, which makes them fine sources of color in water conservative landscapes. This extensive hybridizing has resulted in a complex ancestry for most cultivated forms. Most will fall into one of two groups divided primarily by their frost hardiness.
Bedding Verbenas The most common garden verbena are hybrids descended from tender South American species that have been repeatedly crossed for a wide range of color and flower characteristics. They are treated as annuals in the garden and are hardy to USDA zone 9-15. They are replaced each year everywhere but in the tropics. Their low cascading character is a valuable source of summer color as groundcover or trailing off pots.
Hardy Verbenas This group of truly perennial verbenas known as vervain hail from cooler northern climates. They are usually hardy to USDA Zones 4-7, but some individual cultivars may prove more sensitive. The most commonly cultivated are derived from Verbena canadensis crossed with other North American native species. These offer similar flowers and habit on a more long lived plant that makes a fine groundcover. This form is not often used in containers or as mass bedding color. It is preferred in rock gardens, banks, and to fill in spaces between stepping stones.

Asked by Wiki User

Zary in 2005 and named for 40th U.S. President Ronald Wilson Reagan (Feb. 6, 1911-June 5, 2004). The bee-friendly, fragrant, red-flowering, spring- through fall-blooming, thorned hybrid tea variety, which propagates through stem and tip cuttings, will mature to 4- to 5-foot- (1.22- to 1.52-meter) heights by 2- to 3-foot (0.61- to 0.91-meter) widths in acidic to alkaline soils, with power of hydrogen (pH) 5.6 to 7.8 in United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) hardiness zones 5 and beyond.
What would happen if plants had no potassium?
Asked by Wiki User
Improper growth is the consequence of plants having no potassium. The essential nutrient in question makes sure that vegetation develops strong roots and shoots. It plays an important part in coordinating plant structure with photosynthetic interactions with sunlight to produce energizing starches and sugars essential for life-sustaining activities and processes.
