Picking the right cultivar

Picking the "right" plant for an allotted amount of space seems to be a challenge.  People tend to want to put in a plant that is, under natural conditions, too big for the available space or planted too close or under another plant.  By doing this, the plant becomes stressed because of the constant shearing or pruning, it costs more to maintain the plant which if left alone would only need minimal maintenance/irrigation and would be much healthier and functional.


In most cases, there is a "right" plant for the allotted space.  Please take a look at the video below where Dr. Ursula Schuch from the University of Arizona describes 3 different cultivars of Texas Ranger. 

Have a great Holiday weekend.
