GARDENING INFO
Caring for Azaleas and Camellias After They Bloom
Azalea bushes in our area will be finishing up their blooming cycle in the next week or two.  You may want to give them a little Hollytone for big blooms next spring.
azalea bush
Azaleas are incredibly popular in the Triad area and their big showy flowers in early spring are just gorgeous. After the flowering period is a good time to evaluate your plant. Check the condition of your plant and mulch around the bush to help retain moisture in the heat of the summer. We recommend applying a simple fertilizer like Hollytone after your azaleas bloom, to help bring out healthy blooms next year. This is also true for camellias, which have also just finished blooming.
Our staff can help you diagnose and treat sick plants. But please bring your sample to us in a closed ziploc bag. Thanks!

One Small Request from the Plant Doctors

When you bring in samples of ailing plants for a diagnosis from our staff members, please place them securely in a sealed ziplock bag to prevent the spread of, well, whatever may be making your plant sick! 

Our gardening experts will help you diagnose and (hopefully) find a remedy for your sick or ailing plants.  Just be kind -- and contain them in a ziplock. Thanks!
Thank You and Happy Mother's Day!
Have a great week and enjoy the weekend! Hope you'll come on out this weekend and shop with us. We want to see your beautiful flower beds!  If you have a minute, send a picture to info@lareynolds.com. We'd love to show off your hard work in our e-newsletters. Thanks!
