Sternialers who return many years have a valuable place in the garden and offer years of reliable performance and pollinator support. But most perennials only bloom for a few weeks and last several years to reach their full fame and maturity. Here, one -year -olds come into play to save the day!
One -year -olds are invaluable to add an immediate drama to a garden, a window box or a hanging basket. These systems complete their full life cycle in a vegetation period, but they add color from the plants to a hard frost in the largest part of the country. Many one -year -olds are old -fashioned favorites, rightly so: some of these plants are the same that their grandma has grown because they are reliable, robust and easy to grow.
The most important thing you should remember is to give every annual sunset that it takes to bloom well. The full sun is considered 6 or more hours direct sunlight per day, while part of the sun is about half and the morning sun is usually preferred in hot climate zones. Shadow plants do not tolerate a direct sun, so read the plant tags or descriptions before buying.
Finally, make sure that you irrigate the one -year -old, especially after you have planted you for the first time. During the heat of the season, many one-year-olds especially those in containers who quickly dry out a water every day. In addition, a dose of fertilizer (either every few months or once a week with slow release) will bloom to a frost.
