🌞 What’s Happening at Boxhill – August 2025
​
August is peak color season across the farm — echinacea, fuchsia, and daylilies are showing off, while the bamboo is loving the heat. The palms are looking tropical as ever, and we’ve got herbs, succulents, and late-summer perennials ready to go home with you.
​
✅ Potted clumping + running bamboo
✅ Huge variety of boxwoods
✅ Greenhouse bursting with blooms
✅ Fresh herbs and succulents ready for kitchen or patio
✅ Timber bamboo poles drying on site — ask about sizes





These plants continued to flower into the middle of October – an agapanthus, a small hardy fuchsia, and Asali a Heliopsis. Think about these for next year, it’s nice to have a few deep colors in the fall.



Fertilize your rhododendrons!
Fertilize your rhododendrons now for bloom formation next spring. Be sure to spread it around the plant but inside the drip line (the leading leaf edge) to reach the roots most effectively. The rain will carry it into the soil. Use Hendrikus or another natural fertilizer according to directions. Magnolias are happy with this, and blueberries, too. Roots are busy in the winter!

It's Time to Compost!

If you have space, then leaf mold (only leaves) is the most valuable compost. If not, be sure in a mixed compost to put in small sticks or balled up newspaper to create room for oxygen. If you have a very small garden, it's find to compost in place - keeping your leaves is important for the proper soil nutrition.

Is your garden missing some extra flair? Sometimes the smallest touches go a long way! This is a birdbath we reinforced with old ceramics and a little bit of concrete. While we had never done this before, it turned out beautifully and only took an hour!



Clivias Ready!
This is a picture of one of our Clivia blooming in the nursery. This rare flower is native to South African, but will happily live in your home! These beautiful plants are easy to take care of, quite big, and reliable bloomers. However, don’t be mistaken by their tropical appearance, Clivias do not like direct sun! They can no longer be imported in Washington and ours come from a 50 year-old plant, so when we say rare, we mean it! Our Clivias are only for sale every few years because they take such a long time to produce. We have 7 big Clivias 24-32 inches tall, each with 3 flower stalks selling for $200 each. Additionally, we have 2 slightly smaller plants with 2 stalks for $150.

Fall - Improve Your Garden
Fall is a wonderful time to look hard at your garden. Move plants, choose new thing to compliment the areas close to your entrance, the ones you see most in winter. If you have a blank spot in semi or full shade try a asplenium scolopendrium, either of the two pictured here. They form a small colony and look disarmingly like seaweed.

Fatsia Japonica

Hydrangeas
Astilbes make a great companion plant to hydrangeas. Same light, same water, same fertilizer.
