Weekly Specials at Ground Effects

Dear Viewer,   When is it going to be summer?  We are close to halfway through June and it still seems like spring.  I don't know about you but I am ready for some warmer weather to come.  Remember if it is too cool or too hot you can always look for some ideas on our website with our plant finder from the comforts of your own home.   June: It can only get warmer. Weekly Specials Check our Website for Weekly Specials. Each week we will be having a different weekly special.  Be sure to check our blog to see what the weekly special this week and every other week.  This week's plant has around 30 buds on it right now!  Next weeks plant blooms all summer long. Give Your Plants a boost Are your plants looking a little sad or don't look as vibrant as they should?  Let us help!! Stop in and pick up some slow release fertilizer.  Instead of using Miracle Gro whenever you fertilize we can make it easier.  Just sprinkle the slow release fertilizer around the base of your plant and every time you water or it rains nutrients will be released to the plant.  This will work for perennials, annuals, trees, and shrubs.  I know how easy it is to forget about your plants so I give my plants at home a little boost with it this time of year. Pruning Tips for this Time of Year: Your spirea and weigela are probably just starting to bloom.  Make sure to trim your spirea and weigela in a round mound when they are done blooming.  By doing this they will bloom again this summer.  With the spirea you might even be able to get a third round of blooms. Our roses are starting to bloom beautifully right now.  Yes, you don't have to trim most of our roses for them to keep blooming.  But if you want your roses to bloom more throughout the summer trim back the bloomed out branchs just above the next leaf.  This helps to promote new growth and to keep your rose bush blooming as much as possible.  Right now I trim my rose bushes into a nice small mound even if I sacrifice some buds that are about to bloom.  That way my roses will look more full throughout the year.  If you need us to show you how to trim them, everyone in the Garden Center learned how to trim them last week.  Also if you are looking for a certain color or height be sure to ask.  Anyone around here should be able to point you in the right direction. Thanks for your time.   Sincerely,   Justin Schuiteman Ground Effects justin@scgroundeffects.com P.S. Everything at our place is looking great.  Come on in and walk around and enjoy the scenery.
