December Garden by the Month Ornamentals

Trees and Shrubs
  • Bagworm bags can be handpicked in winter to remove eggs deposited over the summer.
  • Apply a new layer of mulch around trees and shrubs for a tidy appearance. Don’t pile mulch against the trunk, like a volcano. This will suffocate roots and create hiding places for pests.

Flowers
  • Plant spring flowering bulbs by the end of this month.
  • Label plants with durable markers. Consider mapping beds as a backup.
