Lilac Varieties ⁠ ⁠ Bloomerang (S. Hybrida) -

Lilac Varieties ⁠
⁠
Bloomerang (S. Hybrida) - a hybrid series of compact, reblooming lilacs with a rounded growth habit. It produces light pink, fragrant flowers in late spring, then from July puts on a spectacular show of bright purple blossoms that last until first frost.⁠
⁠
Charles Joly(S. Vulgaris)-Do you need some magenta in your life right about now? This delivers just that. This sweet smelling shrub grows up to 12 feet tall with a spread of 10 feet. It's striking double-flowered blooms are it's most treasured trait. ⁠
⁠
Common Purple ⁠
S. Vulgaris - The common lilac, blooms in late May, adaptable to many types of soil, with lavender-colored flowers give off that classic, sweet scent. This tidy shrub reaches a height and width of four to five feet and produces large, sweet smelling blooms in a light purple color.⁠
⁠
Miss Kim (S. Pubescens var. patula) - A dwarf Korean lilac ideal for those in warmer growing zones, this tidy shrub reaches a height and width of 4-5 feet and produces large sweet-smelling blooms in a light purple color.⁠
⁠
'James Macfarlane' (S. x prestoniae) is a Preston lilac that produces dark pink buds that open into light pink flowers. He grows up to 8 feet tall with a spread of up to 10 feet, making him a perfect choice for a privacy hedge. ⁠
⁠
Common Lilac/English Lilac/French Lilac (Syringa Vulgaris) - a highly fragrant, spring flowering shrub or small tree. There are hundreds of cultivars available including single and double flowers of various colors including white, cream, rose, magenta, lavender, purple.. The pungently sweet fragrance is delightful but can be overpowering. Most plants are grafted so suckers should be removed from rootstock to maintain the appearance and prevent unwanted spread. It does best in cold winter climates as they require a long period of winter chill for the buds to mature. It does not do well in soil that is highly acidic or poorly drained.⁠

Weed Control⁠
⁠
The most important step in applying weed control to your lawn is to READ THE LABEL. Doing so will help ensure your safety and that you get the results you are seeking without damaging your lawn or other desirable plants. ⁠
⁠
When applying a hose-end liquid weed control, do so in a manner similar to applying a granular fertilizer. Walk at a moderate pace and simlpy wet the plants without saturating.⁠
⁠
Do not apply a second application for at least 2 weeks. Be patient, some weeds will take that long to die off. ⁠
⁠
Do not spray when temperatures exceed 80'⁠
⁠
Do not spray on windy days as to avoid unintentional drift onto desirable plants.⁠
⁠
When using a granular weed control be sure your spreader is working properly. Use only the spreader setting that is recommended on the bag. Walk at a moderate pace and do not stop while the spreader is still open. Be precise and avoid overlap as much as possible. ⁠
⁠
It is important that the lawn be wet prior to application and then there should be no rain or irrigation for 24-48 hours afterward.⁠

Care for Annuals in Pots and Containers:⁠
1. Start with fresh potting soil. Discard previous years soil in order to obtain maximum results.⁠
2. Select compatible combinations. Be sure that one variety will not dominate and crowd out the rest of the plants. ⁠
3. Fertilize with an organic, liquid fertilizer. We suggest Miracle-Gro "Performance Organic"⁠
4. Select you plants based on the conditions where they will grow - full sun? part shade?⁠
5. Water daily for the first 3 weeks⁠
6. Fertilize once a month for maximum performance⁠

What is an Annual?⁠
An annual is commonly referred to as any flowering plant that generally flowers the entire growing season and then dies at the end of the season. ⁠
Examples: Impatiens, Petunias, Marigolds..⁠
Perennials return each season but generally have a flowering period of about 6 weeks.⁠
⁠
Caring for Newly Planted Annuals:⁠
Select the proper annual for your conditions. Observe the light patterns in the areas you want to plant to determine if you are planting in full sun, part shade or dense shade. Ask questions when purchasing your flowering plants - Does it require sun? shade? Does it flourish in hot/cold weather? Does it tolerate dry/wet soil?⁠
Water every other day for first 2 weeks. Plant with a good organic fertilizer. We recommend Biotone by Bonide. Incorporating a soil amendment product like bumper crop will make your flowers flourish. ⁠

Caring for Geraniums⁠
⁠
Geraniums prefer a well drained soil. Avoid soils that are heavy with clay. In our area, geraniums can be best grown in containers. Once established, geraniums are a little more tolerant of dry conditions than most annuals. This makes it an excellent choice for container planting. Avoid watering late in the day, and if possible, getting the leaves wet. Geraniums are heavy feeders so be sure to fertilize once a month with a good organic fertilizer.⁠
