Agastache, blackberry lily, coreopsis, daylily, garden phlox, heliopsis, rudbeckia, veronica, ligularia, tickseed, yarrow
Annuals
If annuals in your hanging baskets, containers or flower borders are getting leggy, give them a “haircut” by pruning them lightly. Fertilize with flowering plant food, and your flowers will be looking good as new within a few weeks.
Stop pinching chrysanthemums by July 16th.
Perennials
Plant upright sedum varieties in late July for late summer color that can withstand heat. ‘Autumn Joy’ and ‘Neon Flash’ are two popular selections.
Late summer is the best time to separate and replant daylilies and iris. Do this in late July every 3 to 5 years to improve flowering. Be sure to replant immediately after separating.
