  • Give your lawn its first fertilization of the year. Most lawns haven’t been fed for months so we recommend a quick release fertilizer like NitroHos Imperial or MicroLife Hybrid.
  • Spray camellias with All Seasons Spray Oil to combat tea scale. Oil spray can be used on any of your plants to kill over-wintering insect eggs. Do not use if temperatures are over 90º F.
  • Fertilize currently non-blooming trees and shrubs with Tree and Shrub fertilizer or Jobes Tree and Shrub Spikes.
  • Feed established roses with ferti-lome Rose Food with systemic insecticide.. Do not feed newly planted roses until after the first blooms.
  • Prune and trim azaleas after flowering and fertilize with MicroLife or Nitro-Phos Azalea Food.
  • Divide perennials and daylilies.
  • Feed crape myrtles with ferti-lome Rose Food with systemic insecticide. A monthly feeding will keep off the insects, which in turn will prevent black sooty mold on the leaves.
  • Plant vegetable starter plants, tomatoes, peppers, squash, egg plant, and cucumbers. Use Espoma Garden-Tone  for bigger abundant harvests.
  • Finish any rose or dormant plant pruning. Remove any freeze damage.
  • When transplanting or planting a new tree or shrub, use a  Root Stimulator to get the plant off to a fast start.
  • Late March, apply a lawn fungicide such as fertilome F Stop to prevent brown patch or take-all patch. Lawn fungi flare up when the nights are cool and the days are warm.
  • Prune hibiscus and feed with Color Star Hibiscus Food to encourage new growth and blooms.. Hibiscus do not like a fertilizer with a high middle number. Rather they like a fertilizer with lots of potassium, the last number.
  • Plant perennials such as lantana, verbena, shasta daisies, salvia, plumbago, lobelia cardinalis, columbine, coreopsis, euryops, foxglove, lamb’s ear, persian shield, gaillardia, pentas, sedum, shrimp plant, wedelia, and yarrow
