It would be nice if you told us how to keep them blooming . My penstemon and coneflower bloomed great May and June and now not so much

Great question! Some plants are better than others at reblooming, so it is best to check the tag and see their bloom time when selecting new additions to the landscape. Plants with longer bloom times listed on the tag are generally going to be longer bloomers. That being said, there are a few care tips that you can do to help plants rebloom better. - First, cut back dead flowers to the nearest set of leaves once they are done blooming. - Second, fertilize regularly with a high-phosphorous fertilizer like Jack's Blossom Booster: www.wasconursery.com/product/jacks-blossom-booster-10-30-20/ - Third, ensure that all of your plants are getting adequate sunlight. Though many sun perennials may say "full-sun to partial sun" on the tag, plants that like sunny environments will bloom best in sunnier locations.

How do you keep your cacosmia from falling over

@WascoNursery 5 күн бұрын

Great question! We use small, green painted bamboo stakes with vynil stretch tape to keep the crocosmia from falling over. As it ages, and if it is nearby other plants, it will be stronger and less prone to falling over.
