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.
