NEW! From District II, NCAGC:
"MONTH-TO-MONTH: PERENNIAL AND SHRUB MAINTENANCE CHART FOR THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION" is a distillation of gardening information, all in one place! This 44-page reference Chart is written for those of us who are passionate about our gardens and the plants we nurture. This Garden Maintenance Chart organizes, in an easy-to-use format, comprehensive information gardeners want in order to grow vigorous, beautiful perennials and shrubs in our Mid-Atlantic zones 6a to 7b.
With the 12 months running across the top of the Chart and the plant names (104 perennials and 65 shrubs) going down the left-hand side, this Chart pulls together month-to-month information on when and how the plant should be pruned, information on whether the shrub blooms on new or old wood, when to divide, types and frequency of fertilizer, deadheading advice (and whether it produces secondary flowering).
Also included is information on Native plants--as well as pH preference, flowering time, winter interest, type of soil preference with moisture, light and zone ranges. The Chart contains plant-specific comments, a Key on each page, a cross-index of Latin and common plant names, and a USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map.
