• Divide crowded clumps of Shasta Daisies now for better flower size next summer.
• Water Japanese Iris thoroughly before and during the blooming season to promote a spectacular bloom.
• Support chrysanthemum by staking. The fuller they become the possibility they may break.
• Keep baiting slug and snails especially once you’ve set out new seedling.
• If your azaleas have set their buds, switch to 0-10-10 fertilizer to promote bigger flowers in the spring. Using high nitrogen fertilizer will cause the azalea to drop their flower buds and keep on growing.
