ByBobieHughes Thelastfewdayswhen the California liquid sun- shine has not been com- ing from the sky I have been putting on up to five layers to go outside. I am not a real fan of cold hav- ing been raised in the bay area where hot is 95 de- grees and it only occa- sionally would freeze. The wind that is com- ing from the North Pole is very cold and thus the need for so many layers of clothing when going out- side. Our plants are like us- the colder it gets the more layers we need. While trying to keep the cold at bay, it got me thinking about plants that can tolerate cold and some plants that do bet- ter if they get really cold every once in a while. I think most gardeners have a variety of plants in their yards and the Dis- covery Garden is no ex- ception, by wanting to in- crease the numbers and varieties in our garden. A little research, was neces- sary, and I have to admit that the computer has be- come my favorite way of learning things. In only a few minutes of search- ing, if I put in the correct, key words. My efforts were rewarded by a list- ing of a number of plants that will, at a minimum, survive cold weather and others that need the cold the stir them into activ- ity. I was very pleased to find that a number of the plant groups listed are grown at the Discovery Center. The exact variety of the plants may be dif- ferent but as a plant fam- ily many will even do well in the higher elevations of Tehama County. I was ex- cited to share some of my findings. This first group of plants, I will suggest, are ones that we do have at the Discovery Center garden and while they do not look like beauties cur- rently, when we start hav- ing temperatures in the sixties and even low sev- enties they should start coming alive. Many will be available for sale at the SRDC Plant Sale on April 23. Just like I come alive — as you might have guessed I am not a fan of cold. The Spirea's will not only add color to your yard but will also attract hummingbirds. A plant that will attract butter- fly's is the Milkweed or Butterfly Weed or As- clepias — the SRDC gar- den wants to do all we can to attract a num- ber of pollinators to our area and Milkweed is one of the best draws. Blan- ket Flower is another plant that is long bloom- ing- ours was in bloom from April until the first hard freeze. Clematis is another plant that will lose leaves, when the cold comes, but just wait until spring arrives. Ninebark is a new plant to our gar- den and we are anxious to see how it does. These are just a few varieties in the Discovery Garden. It did not surprise me that some of the listed cold plants come from bulbs-because of the 4" to 10" of soil is keeping them warmer than the air temperature. When you have placed a heavy layer of compost and/or of mulch on top of their location it is even better.
