Maintaining Annuals
* Try to keep annual spacing at a minimum of 6" - 8"
By doing this you decrease the space to be filled by one plant also minimizing the ability for weeds to grow throughout
your planting. Coverage will be much more rapid in a shorter amount of time.
*Fertilizing is very important. Annuals such as Petunias
or Impatients are very heavy feeders, and would highly benefit from feeding everyday. You could use Miracle-Gro, mixed with
a vitamin hormone Superthrive. This is our personal trade secret. Also adding a dry granular fertilizer to the soil surface
prior to planting is also recommended. We offer a full line of organic fertilizers to help your plants thrive and
look beautiful.
*Water, water, water . . . this is a must for annual
planting. We usually water annual beds daily until established (1 month) for best results, then tapering down to 3 times per
week. Any annuals in pots or hanging baskets must be soaked thoroughly everyday. Going on vacation and need someone
to water your plants? Don't worry, we have Dri-Water. 100% natural water-based gel dissolves slowly into the soil keeping
your plants watered while your away.
*Choosing the right plant for the right spot is critical to success
Many times we have seen impatients in full sun or petunias struggling to grow in dense shade. A little research can go a long
way.
