Summer is the perfect time to add a burst of color to your garden with beautiful flowering plants. At Waynesboro Landscape & Garden Center, we have a stunning selection of summer-blooming flowers to brighten your outdoor space. Here are some tips for creating a vibrant summer garden.
1. Choose the Right Flowers
Select a variety of summer-blooming flowers that suit your garden’s conditions. Consider sun exposure, soil type, and water needs. Popular choices include marigolds, petunias, zinnias, and daylilies. Our knowledgeable staff can help you choose the best plants for your garden.
2. Planting Tips
Prepare your garden beds by enriching the soil with compost or organic matter. Plant flowers in groups for a more impactful display. Be sure to follow spacing guidelines to give each plant room to grow. We offer high-quality soil amendments and planting tools to get you started.
3. Watering and Mulching
Keep your flowers well-watered, especially during dry spells. Mulching helps retain moisture and reduces weed growth. Water early in the morning or late in the evening to minimize evaporation. Find a variety of mulches and watering solutions at our garden center.
4. Feeding Your Flowers
Regular feeding keeps your flowers blooming all summer long. Use a balanced fertilizer or organic options like compost tea. We stock a range of fertilizers to ensure your flowers receive the nutrients they need.
5. Deadheading and Pruning
Remove spent blooms to encourage new growth and prolong the blooming season. Regularly check for dead or damaged foliage and trim as needed. Our garden center offers a selection of pruning tools to keep your plants in top shape.
6. Combating Pests
Keep an eye out for common pests like aphids, slugs, and spider mites. Use natural pest control methods to protect your flowers without harming beneficial insects. We provide eco-friendly pest control products to keep your garden healthy.
7. Enjoy Your Garden
