Watering hanging baskets, Fertilizing and Trimming are key components to keeping your plants healthy . How often you water is based on the plant type for example: Geraniums and Begonias do not like to be overwatered, therefore, only water when dry. On the other hand, Petunias and Million bells will need more consistent watering.

Fertilizing on a weekly to biweekly schedule can help provide plants with nutrients needed for bloom and healthy foliage. Check your fertilizer container for recommendated rates based on size of container.

Trimming your plants every few weeks can help to encourage new growth and bloom. Trim 1/3 of the plant back to just above the leaf.

No annuals are seasonal plants only. Perennials come back year after year.

• First dig a large enough hole to allow for extra enriched topsoil and compost at the bottom and the sides of the plant.
• Place the new topsoil mixture in the bottom of the planting hole then add recommended amount transplant fertilizer such as Bone meal.
• The transplant container should have instructions on how much transplant fertilizer to add based on the size of the plant.
• Next take the plant out of the pot or leave in fibre pot if roots are not established.
• Place plant in planting hole and be sure the plant is neither too deep or too shallow. The plants soil line should be level with the ground.
• Now back fill with the fresh topsoil ensuring there are no air pockets.
• Water the roots slowly to prevent water run off. Watering in the first season is very important.
• Be sure to water according to size of plant, for example; a shrub/tree planted in Spring should be watered thoroughly 2-3 times a week depending on temperatures and rainfall.

Hydrangeas prefer acidic soil which helps to produce blue blooms. Naturally existing pine needles from nearby trees can help with that process.

Or you can add a water soluble 30-10-10 ever acid fertilizer or Aluminum Sulfate. Always read instructions on the fertilizer container for recommended fertilizing rates.
