Azaleas and rhododendron, oakleaf hydrangea, spirea, butterfly bush, Virginia sweetspire and golden rain all bloom this month.
Gator Bags are a great solution to keep trees watered during the heat of summer. These are secured to the trunk of the tree, where they release the water slowly to the root ball over the course of 15 to 20 hours.
Control spider mites on alberta spruce, azaleas and other plants using Bonide Systemic Insect Control or Bayer Advanced 3 in 1 Insect, Disease and Mite Control.
Check for bagworms on arborvitae and other evergreens. Use Thuricide or Monterey Garden Insect Spray at the first signs of activity.
Watch for mildew in roses, dogwoods, lilacs, crape myrtles and perennials. Infuse or Immunox are recommended for this disease.
