Hot Gardener Summer: yep, we’re hot. You, too? B Hot Gardener Summer: yep, we’re hot. You, too? But we’re not using that as an excuse to give up on style and substance.

5 secrets to our success:

1. Plant heat-loving plants that thrive in the heat, like tropicals.

2. Water in the morning when it’s cooler and it won’t evaporate.

3. Water roots (not leaves) slowly and thoroughly.

4. Add a layer of mulch to seal in moisture.

5. Fertilize pots and baskets with Jack’s to keep them resilient.

Look at these Dahlias that just arrived!! And did Look at these Dahlias that just arrived!! And did you know that the Town of Zionsville was dubbed The Dahlia City in the 1920s because there were two nurseries in the Village that had success growing them (this was a little before our time, but we’ve officially been inspired).

Dahlias are native perennials in Mexico and Central America, but we grow them here as colorful annuals that bloom all summer and through the first frost. They’re definitely in their element in full sun.

And they look amazing in cut flower bouquets for yourself, a host (in a tiny nosegay bouquet tied with twine, for example), on top of napkins or in bud vases for a dinner party or instead of a bow on a summer gift.

Dahlias forever.
