Can anyone ID these shrubs and, if so, give me some tips to rejuvenate them? Otherwise I'll probably dig them up because they look terrible.   The last one seems to be doing the best but from the back it also has some bare spots like in the 2nd picture.

vonnegutt posted:Those are all boxwoods. They need annual pruning to look their best, with an emphasis on pruning into the plant to allow light into the center and force new growth. Prune them sometime in the spring or summer so they have a chance to put out new growth. There's a lot of shapes you can prune them into, but if you're not into that kind of maintenance, probably best to get something you don't need to prune, like a dwarf laurel. Ah, thank you! Annual pruning is probably fine. I just wish they didn't look so pathetic right now. Maybe I'll try to save them.

kedo posted:Also this. It's the time of year now where everywhere I drive I see butchered crepe myrtles everywhere, looking like a handful of big sticks stuck in the ground. My grandma calls it Crape Murder, maybe this is a thing. I can't help but say it out loud whenever I see it.

Not sure what this is but it sure does look great climbing up our pergola!

Probably something I should google but can you clip clematis and grow new plants? Ours has it's base under some big rear end hostas so it apparently loves it. We really like the plant and would like to have more!
