Garden maintenance tasks change as your California native landscape grows and matures. Early on, you'll be getting your plants off to a good start, watering carefully, and pinching for good form. As they develop, you may need to replace short-lived plants, discover just when to divide those that have loved your garden to the point of getting out of bounds, or modify any irrigation layout to serve full-grown species. As the garden becomes established you may even need to modify your design based on what has failed despite your best efforts or if one specimen is now shading out its neighbors. Learn how to successfully guide your CA native garden from its youth into its ripened natural beauty.
