What’s Happening

Last week, we prepared our beds - let’s head to the store and pick up some plants!
Head to your preferred local garden center and ask for SunPatiens by name. There are a variety of options and sizes available, depending on your project, from landscape beds to small containers and hanging baskets. With a wide spectrum of colors, including pinks, purples, oranges, whites, and reds, SunPatiens fit seamlessly into any garden design. What colors are you looking for? Share a photo of your cart full of SunPatiens! ...

Spring is here! Planning or already planted, we are going to be serving up some helpful tips and insight to give you the best success with SuperCal Petunias
Lets start with prepping your beds or containers!
Before you begin, consider the weather. Plant after the last frost of Spring - typically Late April to May, depending on your region. A good rule to follow is the wait until night temps are 55 or above before planting.
• Location, location, location! Will you be planting in the ground, or in containers? Be sure to select an area in full-sun - SuperCal love to bask!
• If planting in the ground, prepare your bed(s) by cleaning debris and weeding the area. If you have some snazzy planters, prep them by getting them in place and adding new soil to the top!
• Consider your soil condition. Heavy, clay-based soils retain excess moisture and may limit aeration of the roots, leading to a weak plant. If needed, amend soil with organic matter (peat, compost, etc).
• Determine how many plants you’ll need.  For mass plantings in landscapes, SuperCal petunias should be planted at an average of 14” apart center to center. Be sure to check the plant tag for spacing recommendation, as some varieties require more or less spacing. For large planters, use 3 – 5 plants per pot for a full look.
 
Your bed is ready to plant, you have a plan! Tune in next week for selection and planting tips.

Let`s start with prepping your beds or containers!

Consider your soil condition. SunPatiens are thirsty, especially when starting off, so water retention is important to help establish strong roots. If your soil is sandy or overworked, we recommend cultivating to a depth of 12” and amending with organic matter(peat, compost, etc.).
Determine how many plants you’ll need. For mass plantings in landscapes, SunPatiens should be planted at an average of 14” apart center to center. Be sure to check the plant tag for spacing recommendation, as some varieties require more or less spacing. For large planters, use 3 – 5 plants per pot for a full look.
