I spent my weekend planting clippings....lots and lots of clippings! There was a girl that posted on our local freecycle that she had some plants to get rid of so I emailed her and went to her house on Saturday. She had this great yard - a lot of which she landscaped with clippings - and took me around with her snips in hand and went crazy. I got a BUNCH of stuff including:
3 crape myrtles (dark pink)
1 banana tree
a bunch of elephant ears
2 oleander
about 4 or 5 angel trumpets
begonias
about 8 iris'
indigo, mexican heather, and I don't even know what else...
Right now they mostly look like wilted sticks in the ground, but I am hopeful that at least some will take. I used the elephant ears and banana in corners of the fence...the biggest angel trumpet in the front yard, a crape myrtle is on the side of my driveway and the others are either in the bed or scattered in the backyard...Anyway - keep your fingers crossed!
