What are the best ways to keep my flowers looking great during the summer heat?
The best ways we have found to keep our butterfly garden looking great all year long includes adding mulch and watering the right way.
Mulch helps insulate the soil and maintain moisture. A 2 to 3 inch layer is all you need. An added bonus of using mulch is that it aids in weed control.
It is best to water your plants infrequently with a deep soaking. Water thoroughly, then allow the soil to dry before you water again. Frequent, light watering wastes water and leads to the development of shallow roots. The best time to water is early morning or late evening.
