🍁 Flowering Friday: Oakleaf Hydrangea! 🍁

Beautiful blooms AND beautiful fall leaves! Oakleaf hydrangea keeps the interest going with rich red and burgundy foliage, while its aging flower heads bring soft, papery texture to the garden.

☀️ Sun: Morning sun with afternoon shade is a great choice. It can handle more sun when moisture is adequate.

💧 Water & Soil: Prefers rich, well-drained soil that stays evenly moist. Avoid spots where water sits around the roots.

🌱 Planting: Check the variety’s mature size before choosing a spot. Some stay compact, while others become broad, substantial shrubs!

🍂 Care Tip: Blooms form on old wood, so avoid cutting it back in fall or early spring. If shaping is needed, prune shortly after flowering.

🌸 Good to Know: Those dried flower heads can stay on the shrub for added fall and winter interest.

✨ Fun Fact: Its name comes from its large, lobed leaves, which resemble oak leaves!

Which do you love more—the flowers or that gorgeous fall foliage? 🤎

🌿 Autumn Olive Takeover? Let’s Talk Invasive Plants!

Not every green plant is good for your landscape! Autumn olive is an invasive shrub in Michigan that can spread quickly and crowd out native plants.

🌱 What does “invasive” mean? A species that isn’t native to an area and causes harm to the environment, economy, or human health. Not all nonnative plants are invasive!

🐦 Birds eat autumn olive berries and spread the seeds, helping it pop up in new places.

🌳 Dense growth shades out native wildflowers, shrubs, and young trees.

✂️ Simply cutting it down may not solve the problem—stumps and roots can sprout again, so follow-up control matters!

Managing invasive plants helps make room for a healthier, more diverse landscape. 💚

🌿 Autumn Olive Taking Over? Let’s Take Your Property Back!

Autumn olive spreads quickly, forming thick patches that crowd out native plants and swallow up open space. It’s one of several invasive plants to watch for around Manchester!

🚜 McLennan Landscape can help tackle that overgrowth and open things back up. Follow-up control matters—autumn olive can regrow after cutting.

💛 Flowering Friday: Common Witch Hazel! 💛

A little sunshine for the late-season garden! Common witch hazel brings yellow, ribbon-like flowers to the landscape in fall, just as many other plants are finishing their show.

☀️ Sun: Full sun to partial shade. A woodland edge with filtered sunlight is a lovely spot.

💧 Water & Soil: Prefers moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Water during dry spells, especially while establishing.

🌱 Planting: Give it room to grow! This native can become a large shrub or small tree, making it better suited to an open border than a tight foundation bed.

🍂 Care Tip: Let its natural branching shape shine. Prune lightly after flowering only if needed.

🌸 Good to Know: Look for Hamamelis virginiana for fall flowers—other witch hazels bloom in late winter or early spring!

✨ Fun Fact: Its seed capsules can pop open and launch seeds several feet away!

Have you ever spotted these little yellow blooms on a fall walk? 🍁
