For best results with new plantings, we recommend:
Check your plants daily for water while they are still in their pots and for the first two weeks after planting.
If soil is moist, wait a day and check again.
If soil is dry, water until moist and check again the next day.
The more foliage a plant has, the more water they will require. It is important to check newly planted shrubs daily.
A thin layer of wood mulch will help with water retention. Just be careful not to smother the plant with it.
Most perennials once established do not require fertilization, but plant food can be used according to the directions on the box.
