Cut your perennials and grasses back to the ground.
April
Apply a slow-release fertilizer to all of your shrubs and trees. We recommend using 10-10-10 or 10-20-20.
Get out and get those grasses and perennials cut back!
May
Prune out any dead, diseased, or dying branches.
Spray insect and disease control on your roses and ornamentals.
Weed and feed your lawn.
June
Keep deadheading your Knockout Roses and perennials to get more blooms.
Salvia and Coreopsis provide a great second bloom after deadheading.
Fertilize annuals, perennials, and hanging baskets with Miracle-Gro.
July
Now is the time when powdery mildew begins to set in on your perennials and shrubs, particularly bee balm, lilac, roses, and even annuals.
Treat with a rose and flower fungicide.
Deadhead your daylilies after blooms are spent or faded. This will encourage the plant to produce a second bloom rather going to seed. Seed
pods are identified by the rounded, pecan-shaped balls that form on end of the stalks. Cut the entire stalk off.
August to September
Now is a good time to plan for fall color in your garden. We have lots of perennials in stock for fall color.
Continue deadheading your daylilies and roses to keep them looking great.
Apply grub control to your lawn if you've had a lot of beetle activity over the summer.
