MAY LANDSCAPE TIPS

• Plant caladiums for summer color once the

soil has reached 70°.

• Prune and fertilize your azaleas after they

have finished blooming.

• Fertilize roses, following manufacturers

instruction and water in well. Repeat every

four to six weeks.

• Weed your beds and apply mulch

to discourage growth, maintain soil

temperatures and retain moisture.

• Check your irrigation system to ensure that it

is operating properly.

• Pinching back growth on newly planted

annuals and perennials will result in shorter,

more compact, well-branched plants with

more flowers.

• Remove foliage that has yellowed from

spring blooming bulbs
