SOIL PREPARATION
All types of plants will grow better when given the proper soil conditions.
If your conditions are not ideal, you’ll want to take the extra steps to make
your soil nice and loose over as large of an area as possible. The addition
of Sphagnum Peat will help both sandy and clay soils. In sandy soils, it will
hold more water and in clay soils, there will be less compaction and your soil
will be easier to use.
Spread 2 to 3 inches of Sphagnum Peat over the planting area and
thoroughly dig in or rototill to a minimum depth of at least 6 to 8 inches.
Rake the soil level and remove any large clumps.
SOIL
CONDITION
Good Soil
In well drained or loose soils, dig
the hole twice the width of the
rootball and as deep, or slightly
shallower. (NEVER deeper
than the rootball!)
When planting Rhododendrons, Azaleas and other Broadleaf Evergreens,
remember to use these products to keep your plants healthy and vigorous.
• Sphagnum Peat • Mulching Material
• Pine Bark Mulch (as a soil amendment)
• Root ‘n’ Grow Root Stimulator • Holly-Tone
Poor Soil
In poorly drained soil or hard,
compacted soils, dig the hole
three times the width of the
rootball and 75% as deep.
WATERING
Watering frequency can vary with
plant types and weather conditions. In
general, water more often during warm,
windy weather and less often when it’s
cool or rainy.
Apply water
directly to the
root area with
a hose or
watering
can.
Sprinklers or overhead
watering may not
provide enough
moisture/water…
as leaves shed the
water outside of
the root area.
We recommend that you check your plants soil conditions before automatically
watering. (Over-watering symptoms look very similar to Under-watering symptoms).
To check and see if your plant needs watering:
Push aside any mulch around the root zone of the plant. Reach down into the
soil (directly around the root ball) the depth of your fingers and remove a sample
(handful). Squeeze the soil in your hand. IF the soil feels too moist and clumps
together or is dripping water when squeezed, THEN there is too much water
already in the soil and additional watering could only cause potential problems.
At this point it is better to let the soil dry out before watering again (Don’t forget
to check back in a couple of days). IF, however, the soil feels dry and crumbly,
THEN it is time to water this plant again. Keeping your plants at an even moist
soil condition can be a challenge at first. Not too wet. Not too dry.
However, once you have done this a few times you will begin to identify which plant
species and soil types require particular watering practices.
Remember, it is always better to “get a little dirty” and periodically check
your plant’s individual watering needs, than it is to assume and just set an
automatic watering schedule!
Perennials are plants that grow and flower for three years or more. Most perennials are considered ‘herbaceous’: they die
back to the ground each fall, but the roots remain alive to produce new foliage in the spring. A wide range of sizes, forms,
colors and bloom times are available to suit your needs. With careful planning, a perennial garden can provide color from
early spring to late fall. Most perennials are low maintenance. They require little more than basic care which includes
fertilizing, mulching and a general overall grooming from time to time.
Everything you need to plan, prepare and plant a lovely perennial garden is available for you here at Bordine’s!

over.
DEADHEADING &
CLEANING UP
Deadheading: This means to remove
the faded flowers.
Deadheading
encourages the plant to produce more
flowers and therefore lengthens the
bloom time.
Also, it improves the
appearance of the plant and the garden
in general. Remove the flower stem as
far below the leaves as possible without
cutting off buds that may bloom in the
future. Some plants with attractive seed
pods or fronds like Rudbeckia, Sedum
or Grasses can be left alone. They add
interest to your garden during the winter
months.
Cleaning Up: When the season comes
to a close and frost has ended the growth
of your plants, it’s time to clean up. Most
of your perennials can be cut back at
this time to about 4-6” from the ground.
Exceptions would be those that would
add winter interest to the garden such as
Sedum, Coneflower and Grasses. It is a
good idea to compost the cuttings from
your garden. Separate any diseased
debris first before adding to your compost
pile.
More detailed information can be found on our Care Sheets, available in store or on-line at www.bordines.com
Perennial Gardening
It is easy as A, B, C, 1, 2, 3!
We have given each plant 2 identifying symbols. The ABC’s in blocks represent 3 different
bloom times. The 123’s in different shapes represent each plant’s growth habit and height.
You will want to use #1 plants in the back of your beds for height in odd numbered plantings...
Remember it’s more visually appealing to plant in sets of 3, 5 and so forth!
The #2 plants provide a robust backdrop to your border plants and fill the empty spaces left by
your tall plants.
Finally, the #3 plants provide a brilliant splash of color in front and draw the eye deeper into
your perennial paradise. The ABC’s of bloom time will add season long color, making it easy
for the gardener on the go to have their own perennial paradise!
A,B,C & 1,2,3 Perennial Gardening!
Our
plants are meant to be used in the back or center of
a garden bed for height. Many
plants, such as Perennial
Grasses, are excellent for screening or hiding fences. To fill in the
middle of your garden,
plants are perfect. And for the edge of
your Perennial Paradise, use
plants, which are 12” or shorter.
Once you have all your numbers in order, make sure you also
have a good mix of As, Bs and Cs to provide color all season long.
Joe Pye, Gateway is an excellent tall plant (#1) that looks great
at the back or in the middle of a garden bed. Many Flowering
Shrubs also make great #1 plants! Joe Pye is also a letter “C”,
showing its color late in the season.
Look for these symbols on our signage,
website and in our 2011 Bordine
Plant Guide. They will help you plan
your Perennial Paradise!

Mid Plants (#2s) are the filler or middle

choices!
Many Perennials make great border plants (#3s).
Using Annuals like these Impatiens, as your
#3 plant, is another great option to give color all
season long!

Clinging Vines climb textured surfaces such as brick, stone or rough wood.
Twining Vines climb by wrapping around a trellis, lattice, fence or open, grid-like structure.
Pruning helps control the size of the vine as well as encourage flowering.
If the vine blooms in early spring such as Akebia and Wisteria, prune as necessary shortly after flowering.
If the vine blooms in late spring such as Honeysuckle and Trumpet Vine, prune in early spring or late fall as
necessary to thin and shape.
Wisteria do not always flower reliably, try the following steps to encourage flowering:
 Full sun location (8 or more hours of direct sunlight)
 Low Nitrogen Fertilizer
 Superphosphate (0-20-0) fertilizer in early Spring
 Prune Shoots back 1/3 to 1/2 of their length in July
 Root prune in late fall (18" deep and 4' from base of plant)

Lilies are one of the
easiest perennials to
grow! They grow from a
bulb which multiplies over
the years, giving you
more and more plants!
The stalks are robust and
require little staking.
Their flowers are
stunning in the garden
and many have a
wonderful fragrance as
well. It is best to remove
faded flowers so that
seed pods do not form.
This allows the plant to
achieve maximum bulb
development for the
following season.

Daylilies are low
maintenance perennials
that thrive in the sun.
Their flowers come in a
range of colors from
pink to purple, yellow,
red or bicolor. Different
flower forms such as
double or ruffled are
what make each variety
unique. While many
varieties only bloom for
2-4 weeks, most newer
varieties bloom 8-12
weeks continuously
when deadheaded.
They look fantastic
when planted in
masses, on slopes for
erosion control or in the
perennial border.
Butterflies and
hummingbirds
absolutely love Daylilies
and they make great cut
flowers.

Perennial Grasses are an extremely
diverse group of plants offering many
colors, textures and forms suited to a
wide range of growing conditions. Most
Perennial Grasses prefer full sun (8 or
more hours of direct sunlight), but many
grow well in partial shade (4-8 hours of
direct sunlight). Grasses with variegated
leaves are more tolerant of shade
conditions than Grasses with green
foliage. The addition of composted
manure and sphagnum peat will insure a
healthy planting. These products help
nurture the plant, hold moisture and
aerate the soil. Perennial Grasses should
be trimmed to a height of around 4" in
April. You may cut them back in the fall
but they tend to overwinter better if left
standing until spring. Many Grasses hold
their shape through the winter months
adding interesting contrast, color and
sound to the winter garden.

Ground Cover
Ground Covers are available in a broad range of flower and foliage colors. Textures range from fine to coarse and soft
to rough. Some like to grow in clumps and others prefer to sprawl. Besides being low maintenance and colorful, Ground
Cover can be used for practical reasons such as erosion control and to cover large areas quickly and economically. They
can be used to create a feeling of spaciousness or define an area of privacy. Once established, Ground Covers require little
maintenance. They densely cover the soil discouraging the growth of weeds.
Do you need a Ground Cover that can tolerate a little “toe trampling” and still
continue to thrive? Try our line of Ground Covers called “Walkabouts”™!
They are the perfect finishing touch for any patio or walkway. Their different
colors, textures and growth habits make them ideal accents and fragrant
TM
varieties will add a pleasant aroma when walked upon.

Ground Cover Spacing Chart: With proper soil preparation, the spacing recommendations for ground covers in flats will
allow the area to fill in within 2 years. Refer to the chart below for the number of flats you will need for the space.
Spacing
Between Plants:
6” apart
8” apart
10” apart
12” apart
Flats of
38 Covers:
9 square feet
17 square feet
26 square feet
38 square feet
Flats of
50 Covers:
12 square feet
22 square feet
35 square feet
50 square feet
Example:
Square footage to be covered = 150 square feet
Chosen ground cover = Ivy, English
Spacing recommendation = 8x8”
Square footage a flat of 38 will cover = 17
150 divided by 17 = 8.8 or 9 flats of Ivy, English
Calculate the number of square feet of the area you wish to cover. Decide on the type of ground cover you wish to plant.
Check spacing recommendations found on the tag or signage for that ground cover. Divide your square footage by the square
foot coverage above according to your spacing choice. This will give you the number of flats you will need to cover the space.

Excellent cut flower! Astilbe provides
intense flower color for the shade! Their
foliage is quite attractive as well; dark,
rich green and sometimes with a red hue!
Be sure to plant Astilbe where they will
receive morning sun and shade in the
afternoon. Astilbe also does well in moist
conditions. If the foliage ever dries out
and becomes crispy, don’t worry! Simply
cut the plant back and water it. The
foliage will be healthy and lush again in
no time!

Perennial Gardening-It is easy as ABC and 123!
A = Blooms in April or May
1 = Tall > 24"
B = Blooms in June or July
2 = Mid 12-24"
C = Blooms in August, September or October
3 = Border < 12"
We have given each plant two identifying symbols. The ABC's represent 3
different bloom times. The 123's represent each plant's growth habit and
height. Use #1 plants in the back of your beds for height. The #2 plants
provide a robust backdrop to your border plants and fill the empty spaces
left by your tall plants. Finally, the #3 plants provide a brilliant splash of
color in front. The ABC's of bloom time will add season long color!

Remember: In Spring, cut back
any remaining stems before new
growth appears. Hibiscus don’t
start growing until late May or
beginning of June. They require
a little bit of patience, but will not
disappoint you in late summer
when their glorious blooms take
your breath away!

Our hollyhocks are biennial, which
means the original plant will die after it
flowers but the seeds produced will
grow into new plants. For this reason,
hollyhocks tend to spread out and
multiply.
Iris are the best known of all
perennials and are among the
easiest to grow. Use the vibrant
and gorgeous flowers in your
spring cut flower arrangements!
Not only the flowers, but also the
blue-green sword shaped foliage,
is eye-catching in the garden.
When planting the rhizomes,
remember to plant them just deep
enough so that the tops are
exposed to the sun.

We have given each plant two identifying symbols. The ABC's
represent 3 different bloom times. The 123's represent each
plant's growth habit and height. Use #1 plants in the back of your
beds for height. The #2 plants provide a robust backdrop to your
border plants and fill the empty spaces left by your tall plants.
Finally, the #3 plants provide a brilliant splash of color in front.
The ABC's of bloom time will add season long color!

Peonies are one of the most beloved plants in
the garden! Their huge, showy blooms are
often fragrant and always stunning; making
excellent cut flowers! The sturdy shrub-like
stems make a handsome, dark green
background for your garden throughout the
season. Don't worry about the ants, they are
merely attracted to the sweet sap on the flower
buds. They will not harm your plant nor will
they pollinate it, like many people think. Itoh, or
Intersectional, Peonies are a cross between an
Herbaceous and Tree Peony. They have large
flowers and strong stems but die back to
ground level every year. Tree Peonies have
gorgeous flowers that make a huge statement
in the garden! They do not die back to the
ground in winter as other Peonies do and
therefore do not need to be cut back.
ABH Dark purple-red foliage.
ABH Extremely resistant to powdery mildew.
BH Extremely resistant to powdery mildew.
ABH Deadhead to produce more blooms.
H Good cut flower. Deadhead for more blooms.
Striking flower color. Long blooming.
Poppies make an excellent cut flower.
Oriental Poppies, by nature, go dormant in
the hot, humid summers. The foliage will
turn brown and die back; so it is beneficial to
have other plants nearby. But, in the fall,
you will see new, lush foliage growth!

We have given each plant two identifying symbols. The ABC's
represent 3 different bloom times. The 123's represent each plant's
growth habit and height. Use #1 plants in the back of your beds for
height. The #2 plants provide a robust backdrop to your border plants
and fill the empty spaces left by your tall plants. Finally, the #3 plants
provide a brilliant splash of color in front. The ABC's of bloom time will
add season long color!

TREE PRUNING
HYDRANGEAS
Trees are best shaped while young, as the branches are
smaller and pruning at this time leaves smaller wounds that
heal quicker, minimizing the chances for disease or insect
damage of the wound. Once established, they need minimum
care to maintain their beauty. It is important to develop a good
branching habit in a young tree. Prune to develop one central
leader and branches that have wide angles where they join the
trunk. The closer the lateral branches are to 90º, the stronger
the attachment at the branch. Narrow angled branches tend
to break in storms.
Hydrangeas provide outstanding garden interest with large,
colorful flowers during July and August. Many varieties hold
their maturing blossoms even into the fall. These garden
favorites also add color and texture to the garden with their
luxurious and sometimes rather bold foliage for much of the
growing season.
Will Flowers be Blue or Pink? – Certain varieties of
BIGLEAF and SERRATA Hydrangeas have the unique ability
to change flower colors depending upon the acidity or alkalinity
(expressed as pH) of the soil. Even subtle pH changes can
cause plants to produce blue flowers one year, lilac colored
the next and pink the year after.
For most trees, pruning should be completed before growth
begins in spring. Some species, such as Maple & Birch, tend
to bleed sap from their pruning wounds. This will not harm
the tree, but is unsightly. To prevent bleeding of sap, prune
these trees in late spring to early summer. Remember that
wounds made after July do not heal well for the remainder of
that season.
Oak trees should only be pruned from November to March.
This is a protection against the spread of Oak Wilt. The
insects that spread Oak Wilt are attracted to the sap of these
trees, so pruning when dormant helps to stop the spread of
this disease.

and click on Care Sheets – Pruning Care Sheet.
MULCHING
Decorative mulches add the finishing touch to any landscape
by providing a consistent and colorful covering over the soil.
Do not use mulches around annuals as mulch can inhibit
their performance. Mulching materials are available in a wide
variety of colors and textures to compliment your plants and
surroundings.
Mulches provide a protective covering over the soil. This
helps to moderate seasonal temperature extremes and
reduce water loss due to evaporation. Other benefits include
less soil compaction and erosion, reduced weed growth and
the addition of valuable organic matter back to the soil as
the mulch breaks down. All of these help to create a better
environment for roots to grow which leads to healthier, more
vigorous and beautiful plants in your landscape.
For more information, visit our website at www.bordines.com
and click on Care Sheets – Mulching Care Sheet.
As a general rule, blue/pink varieties will produce the
following color results at these various pH levels:
pH between 5.5 and 6.0.........................very blue
pH between 6.0 and 6.5.........................blue
pH between 6.5 and 7.0.........................pink
pH between 7.0 and 7.5.........................very pink
Our Garden Stores have simple pH test kits available to
determine the pH of your soil, as well as the various soil
acidifying materials including Garden Sulfur and Aluminum
Sulfate.
Flower Reliability – The ability to produce flowers each year
varies among the different Hydrangea types. Those varieties
that flower on current year’s growth will dependably flower
each year, regardless of planting location. Varieties that
bloom on old, or last year’s growth are at the mercy of winter
cold and spring frosts which can damage stems and flower
buds.
Pruning Hydrangeas – With Hydrangeas, NO pruning is
better than incorrect pruning. In fact, most varieties will grow
and flower to some degree if they are never pruned at all.
Here are some simple pruning guidelines to follow...
1. Annabelle & Peegee Types – No pruning is really
necessary except to remove spent flowers, broken or
entangled branches and for general shaping. The best time
to prune is in early spring before growth begins.
2. Oakleaf Types – Delay spring pruning until growth has
fully emerged. At this time, remove any winter damaged
tips or stems that have not produced leaves. Heavy pruning
should occur immediately after flowering, while removal of an
occasional branch or two for shaping purposes can be done
any time during the growing season.
3. Bigleaf & Serrata Types – Delay spring pruning until
growth has fully emerged. At this time, remove any winter
damaged tips or stems that have not produced leaves.
Flower buds form near the stem tips during the previous year
and may be accidentally removed if pruned back too far.
Additional selective pruning may be done in late summer to
remove just the spent blossoms if desired.

An Eastern exposure is the preferred placement for this group of plants. Broadleaf Evergreens enjoy morning sun
for their foliage and flowering vigor, but prefer to keep cool in the afternoon shade. Just as important is the
protection found here during the winter months when strong winds and sunlight can dry and severely damage the
leaves and buds.

Established acid-loving plants as well as evergreens should be fed twice yearly,
spring and late fall. Sprinkle Holly-tone around the base of your plants as directed
on the bag. If the area to be fed is mulched, it is preferable to remove the mulch,
feed and then restore the mulch on top of the application of plant food.

Pruning Evergreens
Reasons for Pruning - In general, most evergreens need very little pruning. It is important to choose the correct size evergreen for
its location when planning a landscape, as it is nearly impossible to correct an overgrown evergreen by pruning. Damage can occur
to branches from wind, ice, disease and insect problems. These dead or damaged branches will need to be removed to prevent
more damage from occurring. This type of pruning should be done as soon as the need arises, since waiting could allow disease to
spread to healthy wood.
Spruces and Firs can be trimmed while young to produce a fuller tree by trimming the new growth by 1/3 to 1/2. This should be
done after the new growth has hardened off in July. More severe pruning can be done by cutting back into last year's growth, just be
sure to make the cut above a side branch or bud.
Pines can be made fuller by trimming candles (new growth) back by 1/3 to 1/2, however, do not trim into last year's growth, as they
do not possess the dormant buds that the Firs and Spruce do and will not replace the branches removed.
Arborvitae and Junipers can also be kept more compact by cutting back new growth. These plants tend to have a 'dead zone', or
interior area where there is no foliage, so cutting back too far exposes the dead zone, and is very unsightly. Severe pruning should
be done in early spring so the new growth will fill in the exposed areas.
Yews can be trimmed to maintain a formal shape if desired. Their new growth can be trimmed as needed in mid-June. Yews can
also have a second light pruning in late September. Do not over prune late in the year.

Roses can be planted anytime from spring to fall and should be placed in an area that receives a
minimum of six hours of sunshine. In hot summer weather, they keep their flower color better with some
afternoon shade. Leaves shaded in the morning remain wet longer from dew, this encourages disease
problems; therefore, morning sun/afternoon shade is best for Roses. Also, locate your Roses away from
large trees or shrub masses which compete for food, moisture and sunlight. For beautiful Roses all
season long, try Espoma Rose-Tone.
PRUNING- ALL major pruning should begin in spring when Roses are dormant and the danger of severe weather has
past. Completely remove soil and other material used fo winter protection so that the entire plant can be examined before
pruning. Pruning cuts should be made 1/4 inch above a healthy bud, going in the same direction as the bud at a 45
degree angle. Prune canes until you see their creamy white inside (not brown on damaged, split, diseased or blackened
canes). To keep plants shapely, prune to outside facing buds so that new growth will branch outward. Additional pruning
includes removal of weak spindly canes, inward branches that are crossing or rubbing each other, suckers coming from
below bud unions, candelabra type of growth (canes that grow straight out and then curve upward) and removal of wood
that is over three years old (which has gone from first year green to third year brown-black). Finally, prune out all but the
strongest three to six canes back to 12 inches on Hybrid Teas, Grandifloras and Floribundas. On Climbers, remove all but
the 3 to 5 best canes. In fall, only prune willowy branches so Roses can be winter protected by soil, mulch or whatever
covering you choose. Pruning should stop by August 15 to allow the final flowers to form seed pods which will slow down
growth and harden plants off for the winter.

July and will continue until frost if spent flowers are
abh
removed & plants are watered & fertilized during the

season. Although the plants have woody stems, they
abh
behave more like a perennial. Plants will die-back to near

June-September perennial
Perennial (hardy) lilies will give you years of
enjoyment with their pastel colored blooms.They are a
great focal point of a man made or natural bottom
pond. Their foliage may be a solid color or flecked with
bronze with some varieties spreading 3 feet and
others 6 feet. Tropical (annual) lilies are known as the
QUEEN of water lilies. Their vivid colored blooms rise
high above the waters surface. They have the best
June-September perennial a
fragrance and most unique pattern foliage of all water
lilies. There are day and night blooming varieties.
The latter opening at dusk and closing by midMay-September perennial
morning. Water lilies help with algae control by

reducing the amount of sunlight entering the pond.
This is done by their large floating pads. A good cover
of the water surface is about 60%. Feed your lilies at
least once a month with fertilizer tabs. Water Lilies

Water Gardens Plant Selections
There is a wide range of plant varieties with beautiful flowers and foliage which cannot be grown in any other environment. Water plants
grow in a range of different depths in the pond; some grow completely submerged and others keep just their roots below the waters
surface. Water plants must be set at their appropriate depth if they are to grow well. The following is a brief description of the major
groups of water plants.
FLOATING PLANTS
Floating plants take their nutrients directly from the water and simply float on the surface adding shade and variety to the water garden.
Many floating plants are fast to spread and are easy to control in a small water garden. Floaters purify the water by taking up waste
nutrients which helps reduce the growth of unwanted algae.
MARGINAL PLANTS
The majority of marginal plants grow in shallow water at the edges of the water garden. Marginals provide lush, upright foliage that
softens the edge of the water garden.
WATER LILIES AND LILY-LIKE PLANTS
Water lilies and lily-like plants have ornamental leaves and flowers which dominate the central area of the water garden. There are
annual and perennial (hardy) water lily varieties.
OXYGENATING PLANTS
Oxygenating plants grow completely submerged under water. The most valuable aspects of oxygenators is their ability to use up waste
nutrients; this keeps the water pure by starving unwanted algae.
