GROWING and PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS for STRONG PLANTS, VIGOROUS GROWTH, and PROFUSE BLOOMS
Many plants we grow in St Louis need the same things: The correct light, well-draining good soil, and adequate moisture and fertilizer. Follow the simple instructions below and you too can have a garden overflowing with brilliant blossoms.
1. Plant in correct light environment for specific plant. The plant tag should tell you your plant’s light preference. Full sun plants need at least 6 hours of sun a day, most shade plants prefer morning sun with afternoon shade, or dapple light all day. You can find more light requirements for specific plants on our website www.sugarcreekgardens.com.
2. In the ground amend soil with compost >>> and add a starter fertilizer >>>. In containers use a good quality potting soil >>>.
3. For maximum blooming fertilize flowering plants. For an easy one season application use a slow release fertilizer following manufacturer’s instructions >>>. Newly planted trees, shrubs, vegetables, houseplants, and perennials benefit from fertilizer >>>.
2. Keep plants well watered while plants are establishing, and especially when plants are budding up, blooming, and during dry spells. Some plants need more water than others. Find water requirements for specific plants on our website www.sugarcreekgardens.com
