Tips on When to Prune Southern Indica Azaleas

Brownswood Nursery offers tips on when to prune your Southern Indica Azaleas.
Nothing says Spring like Azalea blooms! Peak bloom time is just around the corner for us here in Charleston, with many Azalea varieties already beginning to flower. For a spectacular Spring bloom this season, don't prune just yet. Watch the video for tips on the best time to prune Spring-blooming Azaleas!

Did you know Southern Indica Azaleas have been a part of Brownswood Nursery's story for over 40 years as one of our very first offerings? We are still proudly growing them today! Come visit us for a tour of our growing fields and take home a few of these gorgeous shrubs in 3, 7, or 15-gallon containers!

Plants Deer Don't Prefer

3/1/2021

 

Kiawah and Seabrook Island gardeners, take note!

Picture
As beautiful as nature and wildlife can be, it is certainly discouraging to have your newly planted landscape nibbled on - or worse, devoured - by deer. Deer damage has become increasingly troubling in our Kiawah and Seabrook Island communities where deer are eating landscape plants that had previously been of no interest to them.

The good news? There are trees, shrubs, grasses, perennials, and palms we've used in landscape designs on Kiawah and Seabrook Island that seem to remain off of the dinner menu for foraging deer. We've compiled the following list for your reference:

If you are looking to deter deer in an established landscape or would like to expand your planting palette, we offer an all-natural, liquid deer repellant at our Garden Center in both ready to use and concentrated forms. Deer Stopper™ is safe to use around edibles and in areas frequented by children and pets. Applications last approximately 30 days and are not washed off after heavy rainfall.

For advice on choosing deer non-preferred plants, creating attractive landscapes that deer avoid, or protecting your existing plants from grazing deer, visit our Garden Center to speak with one of our Nursery Professionals. We are here to assist!
