What’s New?
Summer weather has arrived. Heat and humidity are on the rise. Be sure to water your plants on a regular, consistent basis. A thorough deep soaking once or twice a week is recommended for landscape beds. Daily water is needed for pots and hanging baskets. Try to water your pots and flower beds early in the day so that plants go to bed with dry foliage.
The rise in humidity brings fungal disease. Watch for brown curling leaves. Safe fungicides are available for plants like roses, lilacs, tall phlox, bee balm, zinnias, dogwoods and peppers. If you haven’t done so yet, it’s time to fertilize. Flower power is dependent upon food. Any all purpose fertilizer complete with micronutrients will do. We prefer Espoma’s organic fertilizer once the weather heats up. It’s organic and will not burn your plants even when the weather gets hot.
The Proven Winner shrubs are all stocked up. We have Limelight and Bobo hydrangeas, Bloomerang lilac, Bloom-A-Thon azaleas, Sonic Bloom weigela, Miss Molly butterfly bush, Purple Pillar Rose of Sharon, and Infinitini crape myrtle. We also have Proven Winner native shrubs like Low Scape Mound aronia (chokeberry), Scentlandia and Little Henry itea (sweetspire), Brandywine viburnum, Sugar Shack buttonbush, Artic Fire dogwood and Gatsby Star oakleaf hydrangea.
Call or e-mail us if you’re looking for a particular plant or new variety. We strive to carry all the good new stuff, but only if it works in our climate.
