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.
