SPECIAL RESTAURANT ADVERTISING SECTION L.A. LOOKS ALL STAR GRILL Central Native Plants of Florida By Lynn Davis Hamelia paten is the scientific name for the Florida Native Firebush. It is a semi-woody perennial often used as a border or privacy hedge. The bush can grow to fifteen feet with a span of eight. This bush produces orange-red flowers and small purple fruits loved by birds. The red flowers on this bush attract hummingbirds and butterflies almost year round! The flowers often bloom from late spring to frost bringing a long lasting interest to anyone’s landscape. Pruning is recommended in either late winter or early spring to prevent harming future flower blooming. A hard pruning can be done to a height about five feet. A severe frost may damage the bush temporarily. This bush is resilient. Just cut off the damage. It will rebound. Known for being a fast grower, it can grow two feet in just a year. Why plant firebush in your yard? Like other native plants, the firebush is heat and drought tolerant, attracts pollinators, and grows well in any type of soil. It thrives best in full sun, but is fine for partial shade. Enjoy and reap the benefits of planting native plants! Beware of nursery’s advertising a dwarf version.

Invasive and nuisance vegetation depletes aquatic environments of dissolved oxygen, discharges toxic amounts of phosphorus, blocks sunlight, and suffocates native plant and animal life if not controlled. Chemicals used for lake and pond management must be registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for aquatic usage after years of research and continuous monitoring. The vendor for aquatic management contracted by the Lake Ashton CDD treats local bodies of water in compliance with the appropriate mixing ratios. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Matt Fisher at mfisher@lakeashtoncdd.com.
