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 and dogwoods.. 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 organic fertilizer once the weather heats up. Low in salt, it will not burn your plants even when the weather gets hot.
Summer weather brings summer hours. We are here Tuesday thru Sunday 10 to 4. Closed Monday to rest!
Check out these plants that have won national attention. They are simply the best of the best. Selected for their easy care and excellent performance, at least one needs a spot in your yard.
