Trees and Shrubs
Flowers
- A second application of slow release fertilizer may be needed in sandy soils by mid month.
- Take softwood cuttings for propagation. Many shrubs can be rooted this way including azaleas, butterfly bush, abelia, and roses.
- Water trees and shrubs that have been planted for less than a year each week if it does not rain.
Flowers
- Cut back fall blooming perennials by 1’ to encourage branching.
- Divide ornamental grasses such as panic grass, muhly grass, and Miscanthus if needed.
- Divide bearded iris clumps to prevent overcrowding.
- Most spring blooming perennials can be dead headed after the flowers fade.
