WHAT IS PINE STRAW MULCH?
Pine straw is a pine needle that has fallen from a pine tree. Pine needles are used in flower beds as a ground cover for landscaping. Pine straw helps insulate the soil from temperature fluctuations and will not move with heavy rains. Pine straw is excellent on hills and slopes because the pine needles interlock after spreading and keep the pine straw from moving. Pine Straw Mulch is also referred to as Pine Needle Mulch and does not exhibit all of the problems of hardwood mulch.
WHAT TYPE OF SHRUBS, PLANTS OR FLOWERS GROW WELL WITH PINE STRAW?
A wide variety of plants thrive with pine straw mulch, including azaleas, camellias, hostas, ferns, hydrangea, magnolias, coleus, rhododendrons, snapdragons, cineraria, bleeding heart, geranium, lily of the valley, rose of sharon, rhodies, hellebores, astilbe, strawberries, blueberries, and choke cherry. Because this is not an exhaustive list, please consult your local professional for answers to questions about specific plants not named here.
HOW DEEP SHOULD A PINE STRAW APPLICATION BE?
Pine straw should be spread 2 – 3 inches deep on the ground surface. You will receive the pine straw from The Pine Straw Store® packed in boxes or on pallets, the pine straw should be taken from the boxes in handfuls and shaken over desired area so that it is distributed in a loose, fluffy manner. While this is a bit time consuming, it will achieve two very important objectives, providing a very attractive ground cover and yielding the correct square footage from each box.
