Gardening Series 2: Bringing Life Back to the Garden - Flowers 07/02/19
By Treva Gibbs, Fannin County Master Gardener As we Gardening attention
continue this Series, our is captured
by visions of gorgeous flower bouquets. As our imaginations race for ‘all that can be’ in our flower gardens, there are to-do lists that will benefit those blooms and greenery.
Early in the month, plant winter annuals like dianthus and snapdragons. Later in the month, plant larkspur, English daisies, sweet alyssum, ornamental chard, petunias, calendulas,
Iceland poppies, dahlias, and stock flowers (Matthiola incana). Late February, dig and divide overcrowded mallows, gloriosa daisies, cannas, mums, fall asters and salvias and replant before they start growing. To keep pansies and other cool season plants growing and blooming vigorously, apply a high-nitrogen water soluble plant food every 2 to 3 weeks. Mulch garden beds to help retain warmth and moisture. Apply 2-3 inches per square foot of garden, leaving a small gap around the plant stems. Vocabulary tips: Divide - a method of asexual plant propagation that separates a plant into multiple parts, each with its own root and crown. Perennial - plants that grow back each year. Mulch - organic or inorganic material spread in the outdoor garden to help retain soil moisture, control weeds, and improve the
