Timely Tip from Calloway's Nursery for June Gardeners - 2009
Written by Tamara Hennigan
Tuesday, 12 May 2009 16:16
Enjoy Summer Color
Spring flowers become but a memory as summer heats up! However, our desire for a colorful landscape can still be achieved. From annuals to perennials to shrubs to trees, color is found in blooms, foliage and even in the plumes of ornamental grasses.
The distinct patterns of Caladium leaves or textured foliage of Coleus adds interest to shady gardens. The dazzling Daylily or drought-tolerant Lantana provides splashes of blooms for full sun. Crape Myrtles are sending forth sprays of blossoms and the Esperanza displays clusters of bellshaped flowers. Color abounds even in the heat of summer!
Remember to use Calloway's premium soils and mixes at the time of planting and water well with a Root Stimulator mixture. Also, add two to three inches of mulch to conserve moisture, help keep the soil cooler and prevent weeds from growing.
Attend our Free Saturday clinics, especially June 6th which features the summer blooming Crape Myrtle. For a complete listing of clinics, visit www.mytexasgarden.com.

Morriss Road/Gerault Road Expansion
Fact Sheet
The Town of Flower Mound has received numerous inquiries recently regarding the Morriss Road/Gerault Road expansion project. In order to ensure the accurate distribution of information regarding this project, the Town has drafted the following fact sheet.
Container gardens are fun and easy to create. They can be as simple as three small flowers potted together or as elaborate as a small tree or shrub planted in the center of pot with annual color planted around. Follow these simple steps when planting or plan on attending one of our FREE Container Garden Clinics in March.
First select a container appropriately sized for the job. Make sure it has drainage holes and is large enough for making an impact. Second, choose a well blended potting soil that drains well. Thirdly, choose plants that require the same lighting and water needs. The fourth step is to start planting. Fill the container half way with soil, position the plants and start filling in with the rest of the potting soil. You can also add a fertilizer such as Calloway's Professional Flower Food into the soil. Lastly, I add a top dressing of decorative bark or mulch. This adds the finishing touch, plus it will keep the soil cooler and prevent it from drying out as quickly.
After you have completed your masterpiece, sit back and watch it grow! Now you are ready to start planning your next one! Enjoy!
