Keep Planters Looking Good

Category: Container Gardening | Posted: Fri Oct 09, 2009 1:44 pm

One way to keep your planters looking good for a longer period is, of course, to prune and pinch back as required during the season. Protect them from the heavy Fall winds by moving them closer to walls and buildings for added protection. They will look better longer.

I really have enjoyed viewing your plants. Will pinching work with mums after they bloom?

Don's believe so - you can pinch them back while they are growing in the summer to make them bushier, however, once they are finished blooming - cut back and mulch well for the winter and they will come back next year.
