Determining the proper care i.e. culture of landscape plants will help pave the way for success. Many of the problems in the landscape are due to trying to grow plants in an environment that is not suitable for that particular plant.

In addition to the pages devoted to care of specific genera and types of plants listed below, we also cover Landscape Plant Selection, Plant Installation and Post Planting Care in some detail.

Note: We have provided some general information and observations on this topic aimed at the home gardener. Before you take any serious action in your landscape, check with your state's land grant university's Cooperative Extension Service for the most current, appropriate, localized recommendations.
