Keep Your Hanging Baskets Blooming!

Hello Gardeners,

Petunias are one of the most popular annual flowers and look beautiful when grown in containers and hanging baskets. They are relatively carefree plants as long as they receive adequate moisture, sunshine and fertilizer. Petunias tend to go into a mid-summer slump where flower production slows and plants go almost dormant. Now is the time to give those hanging baskets some extra attention.

1.  Trim the plants and remove at least half the length of each stem to stimulate regrowth.

2.  Apply a slow-release or water-soluble fertilizer to boost new growth and flower production.
​
3.  Continue routine plant care for the remainder of the summer and into the fall. 

Being proactive in mid-summer will keep your petunias beautiful until frost!

Happy Gardening,

Barb

Barb Hettmansperger is the Greenhouse Manager of the Oak Hill Garden Center at Oakwood in Somerset.

​Oak Hill Garden Center, formerly known as Oakwood Greenhouse, was established in the mid 1970’s. Since that time, our garden center has grown to include three greenhouses, a pumpkin patch, vegetable garden and patio area which displays a wide variety of ornamental concrete as well as other seasonal items. The garden center was designed to provide a service to the community as well as vocational opportunities for individuals with developmental disabilities. We provide employment opportunities for individuals who live at Oakwood as well as others who live in the community.  

Throughout the year we have:
