As we start into our hot and dry season, make sure your new plants stay well hydrated. Most of us don't realize how much water a plant needs to continue a healthy life cycle and it's a lot more than you think.

New trees and shrubs need a DEEP watering 1-2 times a week without a significant rain event.The top 12 inches of a plant's root system are where they typically drink so saturating this area is essential. Water directly onto the base of the plant, NOT the leaves.

New trees need 2 gallons of water per inch of diameter for every day between waterings. For example, a 4" diameter tree needs 8 gallons of water for each day since it last got watered. If it was watered 4 days ago, this 4" diameter tree will need a total of 32 gallons of water! Water slowly to prevent run off. One minute of watering at medium pressure should get you about 5 gallons of water. Once established, trees will be better able to stay hydrated and won't need this much attention.

New shrubs up to 4 ft should get 5 gallons of water. Add 1.25 gallons for every foot over 4 ft.

Mulch everything well to help retain moisture, keeping it 8 inches away from tree trunks and 6 inches from shrub base.

Perennial Hibiscus

Hibiscus moscheutos

Beautiful summer blooms will cover this hardy shrub with dinner plate sized blossoms throughout the summer. You can find many different varieties with varying bloom and leaf colors and sizes. Rose mallow is a common name used in some areas. Hardy perennial hibiscus is a NA native plant from which many cultivars have been produced.

Expect to see sizes ranging from 2 to 8 feet tall and 2 to 5 feet wide. They start over from the base each year in mid spring. Wait till the last of our cold weather to prune last year's old growth. Do not prune in fall as this can kill them.

You'll find varying shades of pink, pure white and white/pink or white/red bi colors as well as red flowers. Leaf color has evolved as Perennial Hibiscus have become more popular. Greens are most frequently found but the newer burgundy foliage is quite striking with pink and red flowers.

Use as a summer focal point around the pool or around your outdoor living areas. They also make a stunning color-filled living wall. Pollinators love them too!
