All my flowers in my yard seem to have died so quickly this year. Suggestions?
Question:I bought my house last year and the landscaping was terrific. The tulips, roses and other flowers lasted all spring and summer long. I don't know what happened this year. Is there more I should've done besides watering them once a week? Now that there dead is there something I can do to get them back to life? or Do I have to plant all new ones?
Answers:
Was it a new house? You might have to re-think what is in your garden. Tulips and that sort of thing look wonderful in the spring, but once they bloom they are finished, so you have to space them out with other plants that will continue to bloom during the summer, like gerberia, or with plants that will bloom on a different cycle. The roses should continue to bloom all summer long - have you given them any fertilizer or done any pruning or deadheading? Removing blossoms once they have faded is a big help. Once the plant goes to seed, it figures its job is done for the season, so it doesn't have to do anything else. Taking the faded blooms from roses prevents them from forming rose hips (the seeds) and stimulates continued growth and flowering. But it sounds as they they all need a good shot of fertilizer too.
Are they totally dead? If you live in the Pacific Northwest area, last winter was a very hard year and a number of annuals were killed by the cold weather. If that's the case, you will have to replant.
Miracle Grow
water them more than once a week would be a start.
If they're dead, than you probably most likely will have to plant new ones.
I suggest hiring a professional gardener/landscaper to come in and take care of it for you.
Yes , Check the care of the flowers and plants that you choose.
Some require shading and some require full sun , then pick the ones that will fit best for what you want .
Water Water water. And fertalive every 2 weeks that should help. us miracle grow and make sure to spray the leaves with it also. Plants suck up alot of nutrients through the leaves also. Good luck and I hope they start looking better!
lots of water and good furtilizer. the plants that are from bulbs may come back but i'm afraid if the roses are dead they u have to replace them
depending on what weather you have been having you might have needed to water more then once a week... and did you have a later frost?? that might have done it... more then likely you might need to start all over... all some fertilizer and some plant food.. good luck!
You definetly can't put them back to life if there dead so heres what you do pull out all the dead stuff plant more plants and i suggest you use miracle grow and water at least every other day.
Good luck!!
you will have to plant new ones. fertilize next time. this year i have been watering almost every day. mine are doing beautifully!! good luck!
