Below are monthly garden tips from Wilson Bros. Nursery that apply to those who garden in the South.

Tip 1: If you have yet to fertilize your Bermuda or Zoysia lawn, do so now.

Those who shop at Wilson Bros. Nursery:
If you are on the ProScape Fertilization and Weed Prevention Program for Bermuda and Zoysia, now is the time for Step 2. Fertilize Bermuda and Zoysia lawns the latter part of April or anytime during May with Lebanon ProScape 19-3-5 Lawn Fertilizer w/ Barricade Pre-emergent Weed Preventer to feed and prevent the emergence of warm season weeds.

Those who do not shop at Wilson Bros Nursery:
If your local nursery and garden center does not carry Lebanon ProScape fertilizer, and they cannot order it for you, ask for a comparable substitute.

Tip 2: If you have yet to fertilize your Centipede or St. Augustine lawn, do so now.

Tip #3: May is great time to plant perennials.

Hundreds of perennial plants are arriving daily at the nursery during the month of May. Perennials come back year after year and can be planted in beds or containers to add vibrant splashes of color in just about any situation in your landscape. For example, the perennial Lantanas, which bloom from May to frost, can be planted in the hottest, most dry areas of the landscape to attract flocks of butterflies. The flower and foliage colors and textures of perennials are endless. There are perennials for any situation: sun or shade, dry or moist soil.
