Monthly "to do" list
May
Plant
- Direct seed sunflowers in your garden and stagger their planting by every week or two through July
so you have flowers until frost.
- When planting summer annuals, consider pinching and removing the flowers to stimulate branching
and the production of many more flowers.
Maintenance
- Keep an eye on watering everything that is newly planted.
- Deadhead or prune back spent flowers on your perennials.
- Selectively prune spring-flowering shrubs such as azalea, forsythia, weigela, lilac, beauty bush,
and mock orange to control their growth or improve their shape as well as increase their bloom
next year.
- Stake tall growing perennials such as foxglove and true lilies
- Stalks of bearded, Siberian, and Japanese iris should be removed as flowers fade.
