Start planting in February!

The Hernando County Master Gardeners' calendar says February is a good time to plant perennials. Here are some ideas: African Iris, Blue Salvia, Blackberry Lily, Coreopsis, Bush daisy, daylily, Gazania, Gerbera Daisy, Rudbeckia, Ruellia, Shasta Daisy, Stokes Aster and Yarrow. Want to see what they look like before you decide? Visit www.floridayards.org and search through the plant database for photos and planting and maintenance needs.
For more ideas, join me Monday, February 11 for my "Favorite Plants for Hernando County" presentation. I will showcase three dozen plants, trees and palms that have great survival records. It will be at 5:30 p.m. at the Extension Office.

For more good advice from the Master Gardeners, buy a 2013 Gardening Calendar. It is only $3 and is chock full of excellent information about planting and maintenance of your gardens and landscape.
