When planting large pots keep in mind to plant flowers that will bloom for long periods. Plant a variety of bright flowers and include pretty foliage. Scented flowers are especially nice too. Whatever the occasion, whatever the day mewr pot will be ready to bring delight to mewr special occasion.
From Lloyd ~~In The South West~~ FLOWERS: Continue to plant containers of
perennials and summer- and fall-blooming bulbs.
Remove faded blooms to extend flowering of annuals
or replace tired plants. Pinch back mums to
encourage a bushier plant with more blooms. Divide
crowded spring bulbs after the foliage has
completely turned brown. Thin seedlings. In colder areas, apply thick mulch to control
weeds and conserve water. Place stakes for growing
dahlias and gladiolus. Transplant or direct-sow
tender summer annuals. Then if it gets too hot, find a cool spot,
preferably air-conditioned, and relax with some
nice cool refreshing catnip lemonade or tea. Enjoy
the June flowers. For you kitties in the Upper Northwest ~~Upper Northwest~~ FLOWERS: Plant container-grown perennials. Place
