Drought
tolerant plants help us weather the season
You can have
color and interest in your garden by choosing plants that do
not require as much water. No plants live without water,
but many tolerate less water.
The main thing you
can do is plant well. Whether you plant yourself, or
have the professionals at Scottsdale do your planting, this
step is the most important in insuring your plants success. |
Tips for
Planting
All plants need to be well-planted
to insure their success.
When planting containerized
plants, be sure to loosen the roots which enables them
to spread into the surrounding soil.
Dig a wide hole, deep
enough to hold the root ball, and loosen the soil at the
bottom.
Back-fill with native soil and
appropriate amendments, then
tamp down to be sure roots are in contact with soil.
Water well after planting,
then water again after a short while to be sure it is well
hydrated. Add 2-3 inches of mulch to retain moisture. |
