Rid Your Oakland Garden of Unwanted Plants

Most Oakland gardens have a hodge-podge of perennials that have accumulated over the years. In the collection, there are likely a bad apple or two that can make a mess of the garden. The aggressive spreaders and self-growers can be more trouble than they’re worth.

The sooner they are out of the garden, the better. Plants are usually beautiful in areas where they grow freely, but some don't play well with others. Things you may want to consider eliminating from your garden include:

· Evening primrose
· Gooseneck loosestrife
· Grape leaf anemone
· Lily-of-the-valley
· Obedient plant
· Perennial sunflowers
· Plume poppy
· Silver King artemisia

Flower Arrangement

A garden is more manageable if the garden and non-garden spaces are defined. Permanent edging such as stone, brick, metal, or plastic can be used. Edging is available in the garden supply section of our garden center in Oakland.

Another commonly needed garden supply found in our nursery is mulch. Mulch can be used to surround plants that will remain in the garden and to smother those that will not. Putting in permanent edging and mulch can be a bit of a task. But once it’s in place, the results are worth the effort. A heavy-duty plastic edging, obtained from the nursery garden supply, placed around a cutting, vegetable, or perennial garden will keep grass out of the garden beds and save hours of tedious labor.

Moving Plants

Plants in a garden are often moved to different locations. When the offending plants are removed, gardeners get a chance to observe characteristics such as color, bloom time, texture, leaf shape, and height that work better in different areas of the garden. Stop by the Grand Lake Garden Center in Oakland for free advice and assistance. We’re always glad to help.
