Late Spring Chores fo r Beautiful Summit Flower Beds
To keep a flower garden beautiful from spring into the sum
mer season requires some careful maintenance in \lav and June.
Ray McNeilan, home horticulturist for the Oregon State
University Extension Service recommends the following tasks In-
completed over the next few weeks:
-Remove or “deadhead" the spent flowers from lilacs, a/aleas.
camellias, candytuft, peonies and other spring flowering plants,
then fertilize and mulch.
-Pinch off faded flowers from early blooming annuals like snap
dragons and petunias to encourage more b l o s s o m later in the
summer. Cut spent delphinium blooms mas p-m.iotw more
blooms towards autumn. Old dried foliage of tnlin ami daffodils
can now be safely removed.
-Weed and mulch perennial flower beds. Annual tinners like
alyssum, asters and lobelia also need weeding. mulching .iiul
fertilizing.
Roses need attention, too. As the first hlooni' n! spring finish,
cut the stems back to the five leaflet area. CuUiack canes of
rambling roses to ground level after they finish blooming. All
types then need fertilizer and mulch for summer's heat. Sweet
peas also will benefit from mulch in early summer to keep their
roots moist.
-Pinch back shoots on late summer bloomers like tall clir\ san-
themums. cosmos and asters to encourage bushier grow ih. Fer
tilizer will also help.
-Make sure stakes are in place for tall summer-blooming peren
nials like dahlias. Shasta daisies and lilies.
