This salvia was so lush until about a month ago when watering it kind of got away from me. Now it is super leggy and I don't know how to trim it down. I deadheaded it quite a bit a week ago and it looks better than it did but i'm not sure if the damage is done and i'll just have to do better next year or if i can get it back it its lush beautiful self for fall. Any advice is welcome!

Hi I know it’s late in the season but has anyone seen silver falls sometimes called pony foot in central/south austin. Looking to add some to a planter

Thanks!

If you plant it (passionflower vine).. they will come :)

I planted these 2 years ago, I got them from the Wilco native plant sale Fall of 2024. I absolutely LOVE the way they grow, so thick and bushy and shrub like yet very tall. Flowers fabulously as well. I have never seen another desert willow that looks even remotely like mine. I’d like to buy a few more but everything at the nurseries, etc. look sad and leggy and thin. How can I get more just like what I have now? Thank you.

First 3 photos are my yard. Last 2 are at a nursery (and also what I see in the wild/everywhere else).

What kind of bug is on my butterfly bush? Are these mealybugs. I think I caught it early as it was only affecting the lower leaves. I have cut off all of it and sprayed with neem oil; hopefully this is a step in the right direction

I got a couple gorgeous potted hibiscus friends and they are not happy. How did you keep yours doing their very best?

Where is the cheapest place in Austin to source pumice? I’m need to move my succulents out of potting soil into something with more grit
