Buck Brush

Buck brush, or buckbrush, is one of California’s loveliest native flowering shrubs. It blooms in white, fuchsia, pale violet and the intense violet-blue shade that inspired the alternate names Wedgeleaf Mountain Lilac and California Lilac. The deepest blue blooms resemble blue hydrangeas. It can get bushy quickly and grow as tall as ten feet, so it should be cut back after the flowers die and the seed pods open in the fall or winter.

Buck Brush: The Basics

Buck brush is ideal if you’re looking for a fragrant, flowering shrub that comes in a variety of colors and is drought resistant. Several shrubs that are tasty to deer are casually referred to as buckbrush. This article is about Ceanothus cuneatus. It is not palatable to deer. Buck brush is a California native and one of our best-known wild flowering shrubs.

Buck brush is an evergreen, so it will still dress up your yard after it stops blooming. Buck brush is highly attractive to pollinators. Several varieties of butterflies favor buck brush. Hummingbirds are also drawn to buck brush’s fragrant blossoms. By planting it, you’ll be feeding bees and butterflies as well as beautifying your lawn. Buck brush is one of the most popular plants in California butterfly gardens.

Landscaping with Buck Brush

Ceanothus cuneatus is versatile and requires little more than sun and sandy, loose soil that drains. It’s available in so many shades of white and purple that you can choose white or pale violet and use it as a background shrub, or you can pick a couple of the more vivid shades and build flower gardens or hardscapes around them. You can line your driveway or porch with a soft shade and flank your porch steps with the intense lilac purple.

Bright shades are stunning at night when highlighted by solar lights. Plant the most colorful buck brush around your patio. Enjoy your butterfly and hummingbird garden during the day, and then wow your guests in the evening with buck brush’s natural beauty and fragrance. For an indoor or outdoor centerpiece, cut a few long branches that have just started to flower.

If you want a dedicated butterfly garden in your yard, you’re going to need other pollinator-attracting plants like scrub oak, and you’ll need a butterfly puddle. Butterflies need a puddle in mud or sand where they can drink water and obtain minerals, specifically salt, not found in flower nectar. Creating a butterfly puddle is easy. Find a clay dish that doesn’t drain. Dig a hole just deep enough to hold the dish with the edges even with the dirt. Follow the instructions in this article to make your butterfly puddle perfect. You can make a partial circle of buck brush and place your butterfly puddle in the center.

Things to Remember

• Buck brush comes in a color range from white to bright purple
• It has a strong, pleasant fragrance
• It’s drought resistant
• Deer don’t like it

Toyon may be the Chaparral Shrub You’ve Been Looking For

Toyon Landscaping in the Pismo Beach area can be difficult. Getting the perfect look you want can be even harder. Many people don’t know that there are trees, shrubs and plants that will grow in all conditions and soils, or even very rocky areas that are perfect for our area.

The professional landscapers at Evergreen Landscaping can help you choose exactly the right plants for your landscaping and to give you the look you want for your outdoor living space.

For those looking for a beautiful chaparral shrub that is easy to grow and will bring a wide variety of animals in, Toyon may be just the perfect plant. The plant flowers in July and August, with dense pockets of small, white flowers adding to the beauty of an already eye-pleasing shrub. The flowers are favorites of butterflies and a wealth of other insects. The flowers each have five rounded petals, a wonderful contrast to the alternating, sharp-toothed green leaves.

The flowers give way to large groups of small, bright red fruits. The best news for nature lovers is that this is only the beginning of the animal viewing opportunities that this plant affords its owner. Many different species of birds will head to this shrub for the berries long after other plants in your outdoor space have lost their luster. Mockingbirds, robins, and even cedar waxwings are just some of the birds you can expect to see visiting the Toyon. Even coyotes and bears will make a meal of the berries once they’ve fallen to the ground. If you have your heart set on a beautiful shrub that will also attract the most wildlife possible, the Toyon may be the answer to your dreams.

Toyon is relatively easy to grow, too. It prefers full sun or partial shade, but does better in partial shade in the more arid and dry parts of our area. Evergreen Landscaping’s professional landscapers can help you choose the perfect area around your home or business for these shrubs. Toyon even makes a perfect hedge plant to line your walkways, driveways, or to accent the edges of any outdoor living space.

Blue Oak is the Prefect Hardwood for Arid Locations

Blue Oak is a very beautiful tree. Its only downfall is that it is slow growing. It will only add a few inches to its height every year. Still, many people have found it to be well worthwhile. It is a medium sized deciduous tree with an average height of 50 to 82 feet. It takes an upright, rounded form and is very reminiscent of other trees in the oak family. For those with the time and the space, it can make a beautiful addition to an outdoor living space.

The Blue Oak gets its name from the blue-green tint of its leaves. The blue hue can be easy to miss until the tree is viewed against a lush green backdrop of another oak such as the live oak, with which it often shares space in the wild. The bark of the Blue Oak is a gray color with medium-sized dark cracks. The bark of the Blue Oak can even appear white from a distance, offsetting the blue-green leaves perfectly.

Many people who enjoy nature viewing choose oak trees of all sorts for their outdoor living spaces. Blue Oak is often used as an accent or edge piece for butterfly gardens and hummingbird gardens. The professionally trained landscapers at Evergreen Landscaping can help you decide if the Blue Oak is what you need for the perfect look and feel for your home or business. These trees also provide cooling shade while their leaves are full, giving an even bigger benefit for many applications.

Like most oaks, the Blue Oak bears acorns, which can also be a source of food for wildlife. The acorns are approximately one inch in length with a moderately sweet kernel. The acorns mature 6 – 7 month from pollination.

Blue Oaks do very well with a variety of other plants. Coffeeberry, Buckbrush, other oaks and pines are great companion plants. Most homeowners or business owners will find, however, that the Blue Oak does best with a well-drained soil and they are most comfortable on slopes, which helps to drain the soil. They prefer full sun, but they will tolerate partial shade. This is especially true when they are younger and first taking hold in their environment. The Blue Oak is also very drought tolerant. It can live with one summer watering per month, but it truly prefers a more arid or well-drained environment.

When you are looking to set up your perfect outdoor living space or business landcape, Evergreen Landscaping can help you to choose the perfect plants, trees, and shrubs for your application. The beautiful Blue Oak may be just the perfect tree with which to surround your yard or business. While they take time to grow, most will agree that their beauty is worth the wait.

At Evergreen Landscaping, we believe you should be just as comfortable in your outdoor living spaces as you are indoors. Contact us today or call at (805) 773-5395 for a consultation and to share your ideas and your vision for your landscaping. We will help you find the perfect solutions to any of your outdoor space issues.

These plants grow best on scrubby slopes or in chaparral. They also take to dry washes and other such areas. California Buckwheat is native to the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico, so they are perfect for the Pismo Beach region.

California Buckwheat flowers from April through September. It has small, delicate flowers that are pink and white. Each flower is only a few centimeters in size, but they grow in large clusters that can be up to 15 centimeters wide. These nectar-filled flowers are a favorite of honey bees. The flowers create a beautiful contrast to the green, wooly leaves. The leaves curl under around the edges, and are long, slender lobes.

These plants enjoy full sun, and do well on south-facing slopes. If you have a sunny area in your landscaping and you’re looking for a unique plant that will do well with little water, the California Buckwheat may be just what you are looking for.
