Save time and water by planting annuals only in pots and in window boxes close to the house where they are easy to water.
To attract butterflies and hummingbirds, select particular perennials (e.g. trumpetvine, butterfly bush, cardinal flower) and concentrate them in one bed that gets lots of sun.
Roses need sun and water and a little fertilizer once in a while. Spray with a fungicide every few weeks. Hybrid tea roses are very susceptible to the ravages of winter. Roses with may petals will perform better where summers are dry.
The perfect annual for those summers when you have lots of company and less time for gardening - wave petunia. They spread out and out to fill a large area, so you don't have to buy very many plants to have a garden just brimming with colourful flowers. Just keep them watered and fertilize every so often. |
