PLANT OF THE MONTH 

Verbena lilacina de la Mina
De La Mina Verbena

 

 Verbena lilacina de la Mina

This adaptable mounding perennial is a selection from Cedros Island.  It produces mounds of delicate green foliage about 2' high and spreading to about 4',. Dense heads of purple flowers cover the shrub from spring to fall and give off a mild spicy, sweet fragrance. This is a very attractive and versatile plant for any flower border, butterfly garden or plant  in containers on a patio. To maintain a dense form shear lightly in summer, and remove spent flowers.  The butterflies will flock to your garden! De la Mina Verbena was selected by Carol Bornstein and introduced by the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden.

 Every purchase of our "Plant of the Month" at our retail nursery partners will generate a $0.50 donation to PLANT WITH PURPOSE to help villages in third world economies restore farms, plant trees and create local jobs.

GARDEN OF THE MONTH

Anstine-Audubon Nature Preserve

 Anstine Nature Preserve

 

 The Anstine-Audubon Nature Preserve is an eleven-acre site located within the County of San Diego adjacent to the cities of Vista and Oceanside. Three native plant communities occur within the boundaries of the Anstine Preserve - Coastal Sage Scrub, Southern Willow Riparian Forest, and Coast Live Oak Woodland. Non-native and disturbed conditions are also present as a result of habitat removal, construction, and other human activities on and off site. Members of the San Diego Audubon society have gradually been restoring the site to its natural beauty and plans are under way for several demonstration gardens. Since 1999, nearly one-hundred species of plants, eight species mammals and six reptiles, and more than one-hundred species of birds, have been recorded on the site. For more details call 760-295-1548
