Tips For A Successful Season With Your Annuals:
* Water
Keep them evenly moist. This may include daily watering. Make sure your container plantings have a
hole in them to allow excess water to escape and remember pots in the sun will need to be watered
more than pots in the shade.
* Fertilize
We suggest a combination of a slow timed release fertilizer such as osmocote, which provides 3-4
months of steady feeding, and a liquid fertilizer such as Peters 20-20-20 to be aplied every two weeks.
* Deadhead
Remove dead blossoms to keep the plant growing and attractive. If blooms remain, the plant will put
its energy into seeds rather than new blooms and foliage.
* Trim Back
Some plants become leggy or become too large as the season progresses. Cut stems just above
a leaf using sharp scissors or pruners. This invigorates the plant to produce more foliage.
