  • ‘Walker’s Low’ Catmint #2

    $16.99

    ‘Walker’s Low’ Catmint Care

    Planting: Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil for your ‘Walker’s Low’ Catmint. Ensure proper spacing to accommodate its mature size, typically around 18 to 24 inches in height and spread.

    Watering: Water your ‘Walker’s Low’ Catmint regularly, especially during the first growing season to establish its roots. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and requires occasional watering during prolonged dry spells. Water at the base of the plant to avoid wetting the foliage, which can lead to disease.

    Soil: ‘Walker’s Low’ Catmint prefers well-drained soil with average fertility. Amend heavy or clay soils with organic matter such as compost to improve drainage and soil structure.

    Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the plant to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weed growth. Keep the mulch a few inches away from the plant’s stems to prevent rot and disease.

    Fertilizing: ‘Walker’s Low’ Catmint generally does not require fertilization. However, you can apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring if the soil is poor or the plant shows signs of nutrient deficiency.

    Pruning: Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and remove faded foliage to maintain a tidy appearance. Cut back the entire plant to the ground in late fall or early spring to rejuvenate growth.

    Protection: ‘Walker’s Low’ Catmint is generally resistant to pests and diseases. However, monitor for common issues such as aphids or powdery mildew, and treat promptly if necessary with insecticidal soap or fungicide.

    Propagation: ‘Walker’s Low’ Catmint can be propagated by division in early spring or fall. Dig up the plant and separate the root clumps, replanting the divisions in well-prepared soil

  • Hosta #2

    $16.99

    Hosta Care

    Light: Hostas thrive in partial to full shade. While some varieties can tolerate more sunlight, it’s generally best to provide them with filtered or indirect sunlight to prevent leaf scorching.

    Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply once or twice a week, especially during dry spells or hot weather. Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases.

    Soil: Hostas prefer well-draining, rich, and slightly acidic soil. Incorporate organic matter such as compost or leaf mulch into the soil to improve its texture and fertility.

    Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can lead to lush foliage but decreased plant vigor.

    Mulching: Mulch around the base of the plant with a layer of organic mulch to conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and insulate the roots. This is particularly important during the hot summer months.

    Division: Hostas benefit from division every few years to prevent overcrowding and rejuvenate the plant. Divide mature clumps in early spring or fall, ensuring each division has several healthy roots and shoots.

    Pests and Diseases: Keep an eye out for common pests such as slugs, snails, and deer, which may feed on hosta foliage. Use organic or chemical controls as necessary. Additionally, watch for signs of fungal diseases like leaf spot or crown rot, and promptly remove and destroy affected foliage.

  • Lavender #2

    $16.99

    Lavender Care

    Planting: Choose a location with full sunlight and well-drained soil for your Lavender. Ensure proper spacing to allow good air circulation between plants. Plant in spring or fall, spacing plants about 12 to 18 inches apart.

    Watering: Lavender prefers dry to moderately moist soil. Water newly planted Lavender regularly to establish roots, but once established, water sparingly. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. Water at the base of the plant to avoid wetting the foliage, which can lead to disease.

    Soil: Lavender thrives in well-drained, sandy or gravelly soil with low fertility. Amend heavy or clay soils with sand or gravel and ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.

    Mulching: Apply a thin layer of gravel or crushed stone around the base of the plant to retain soil moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weed growth. Avoid organic mulches that can trap moisture around the plant’s stems.

    Fertilizing: Lavender is a light feeder and generally does not require fertilization. If necessary, apply a small amount of balanced fertilizer in spring, but avoid excessive nitrogen, which can promote lush foliage at the expense of flowers.

    Pruning: Prune Lavender lightly after flowering to remove spent blooms and shape the plant. Avoid cutting into old wood, as Lavender may not regrow from woody stems. Trim back woody growth in spring to encourage new growth from the base.

    Protection: Lavender is generally resistant to pests and diseases, but monitor for common issues such as aphids or root rot. Treat promptly if necessary with insecticidal soap or fungicide.

    Winter Care: In colder climates, Lavender may benefit from winter protection. Mulch around the base of the plant with gravel or straw to insulate the roots from freezing temperatures.
