You probably need to prune them. They look like they need to be "dead headed" which simply means cutting off the flowers to encourage more, NEW growth. If you don't do this, most flowers will stop producing flowers. When you dead head, the plant creates more flowers to aid in pollination. If you don't, the plant thinks the job's done, and stops making flowers.<BR/>The advice about watering was good to.Mrs Pretzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15013942924710797563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330317960829863217.post-39599291213194965072008-04-06T15:46:00.000-05:002008-04-06T15:46:00.000-05:00Hey Marci!

Other than that, you could always Google them and see what "real" gardeners have to say about them.

You probably don't need to water as often as you have been until the heat of summer. Once or twice a week should be enough until the sun and heat appear in Memphis. But think about replacing that liner!<BR/><BR/>De <><Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330317960829863217.post-5600161794380367502008-04-03T08:17:00.000-05:002008-04-03T08:17:00.000-05:00Marci...Finally a subject I can help you with!

But, I never, ever plant before April 18. They just can't take this cool, wet, overcast weather. You might can save them but you might have to replant...sorry! Gardening is a learned skill over time just like scrapbooking!<BR/><BR/>De <><Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330317960829863217.post-842395554750823282008-04-02T23:20:00.000-05:002008-04-02T23:20:00.000-05:00hello marci,wow hanging baskets with flowers! so j...hello marci,<BR/><BR/>wow hanging baskets with flowers! so jealous..we are barely seeing the green peek out of hte snow banks! ick...<BR/><BR/>you might put your creeping phlox in the garden and let it spread and do it 's thing there. for hanging baskets you need things that trail, continuous colour and a bit of variety. i put ten or twelve different types and colours of flowers and foliage in my baskets. variety is the spice of life after all!<BR/><BR/>go for colour..and more kinds and you will love it. <BR/><BR/>donna, london ontario canada!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330317960829863217.post-5603993589303583302008-04-02T20:54:00.000-05:002008-04-02T20:54:00.000-05:00sorry Marci - my thumbs are both brown. . .how abo...sorry Marci - my thumbs are both brown. . .how about a festive bow??? some cute paper flowers or birds??LOL<BR/><BR/>good luck - <BR/>Hillaryhchybinskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13387169047233793375noreply@blogger.com
