Allen, Sterling & Lothrop's nursery manager Bill Kennie
has been working with the Falmouth Open Space committee to help eradicate
invasive plants from the Maine landscape. Bill believes that it is very
important to include native species in ornamental landscape gardens. Indeed,
the more native plants a garden has the better--native plants are typically low
maintenance, they provide food and shelter for wildlife and are visually in
keeping with our native "wild" landscape.
Vinurnum
Plicatum:
There are many varieties of this plant, their sizes range
from 4’-10’ high. They all have
beautiful clean white flowers that engulf the plant from May into early
June. Most bear fruit for the birds and
have stunning foliage in the fall. I
have found these to be drought tolerant and take pruning very well. Whether used as a specimen or a backdrop to
the garden you can’t go wrong with one of these amazing plants!
