Greetings!
We hope this finds you having a fun-filled Fall season! Even though we've had periodic episodes of rainfall, we are still facing dry conditions, so be sure to water everything from your containers to your evergreens! Plants tolerate frost conditions better with ample soil moisture.
Conversely, we've seen downy mildew on some impatiens plants as a result of our cool, wet Spring and warm Fall days with cool nights. This fungus can be problematic as it is transported in the wind. Our crews are paying close attention, looking for the grayish-white areas under the leaves, plant yellowing or stunted growth. Affected plants are being removed where needed.
We continue our Fall soil prep activities, adding compost where needed. Our fun and fabulous Fall Harvest containers are now being installed, and we hope you enjoy the choice materials and the creativity of our designers!

Fall is for Planting
| | Plants We're Excited About
We love planting in the Fall! The plants love it, too! We're planting trees, shrubs and perennials through mid-October.  A new shrub we admire is the 'Little Devil' Ninebark, which adds a deep burgundy color to the garden while attracting butterflies! This low maintenance plant is also drought tolerant. White-pink flowers emerge in June, making it a great choice for any garden area.
This awesome ' Hot Papaya' Echinacea grows to 3 feet tall, and starts out with a bright orange pom-pom before turning color to a brilliant scarlet red. It's light fragrance attracts hummingbirds, and it remains colorful all season! See more examples of plants and projects by visiting our website: www.BloomOnMN.com |
