  • Rejuvenate heat-stressed geraniums, petunias, and chrysanthemums for the fall season by lightly pruning fertilizing and watering.
  • Remove weak, unproductive growth from roses to stimulate new growth for fall beauty.
  • Apply pre-emergent weed killer to target broadleaf weeds and grassy weeds. Read label carefully before applying.
