Some plants like it hot so welcome the Summer days with heat-loving color! We have partnered with the Dallas Arboretum in sponsoring trial gardens where over 3,000 plant varieties are tested each year. These plants must be able to survive our hot Summer days plus they must look good doing so! The plants which excel in these conditions are honored with the coveted "FlameProofT" award. This collection of "hot color" is represented with colorful blooms as well as brilliant foliage. Watch for the introduction of a new "FlameProof" variety each week this Summer!
Keep those colors vivid by fertilizing regularly. Water soluble fertilizers can be mixed and applied with each watering. Controlled-released fertilizers can be worked into the soil and are activated by heat. Remember to check daily and water in the mornings when possible. Always top off any exposed soil with 2 to 3 inches of mulch!
We will be hosting free clinics every Saturday in June. Our clinic on June 25th at 10:15 am is titled "FlameProofT Plants for Summer!" Join us to learn more about this special collection of heat-loving Summer plants.
