July
- Extend the blooming season of Crepe Myrtle, Rose of Sharon and Buddleia by cutting off spent blooms to invigorate them to form even more flowers.
- Be sure to water plants early in the morning so the foliage can dry off before the summer sun sets in.
- Pinch mums for the last time around the 4th of this month to ensure bushy plants this fall. Keep their height at about 12 inches.
- Continue rose spraying program and dead head any faded blooms.
- Scatter superphosphates around the base of Azaleas, Laurels, Rhododendrons and Pieris to pro- mote heavy flower bud formation this summer.
- Fertilise bedding plants one last time for a good boost of bloom on into autumn.
