Summer Care for Perennial Gardens

It won't extend bloom time on all perennials, but will keep some like bergenia, lamb's ear, peonies, and perennial geraniums looking neat and tidy throughout the summer. Deadheading will encourage an additional flush of flowers on many perennials including bee balm, coral bells, daylilies, fringed bleeding heart, phlox, purple coneflowers, salvia, veronica, and yarrow. Cut spent flowers back to the nearest set of side shoots with flower buds or healthy leaves on perennials like coneflowers, catmints, salvias, shasta daisies, turtlehead and veronicas.Sign Up for E-NewsOn daylilies and balloon flowers, remove individual flowers on the flower scape (stem) as they fade. Once all the individual flowers have faded and been deadheaded, remove the whole flower stem. Prune flower stems back to a rosette of leaves at the base of the plant on coral bells, hosta and lamb's ear to keep these plants looking their best. Shearing a plant, also called cutting back, is a pruning method that removes large amounts of plant material in one fell swoop. This method is useful for plants with an abundance of small flowers such as creeping phlox, rock cress and threadleaf coreopsis. Also consider digging and dividing threadleaf coreopsis every few years to promote continuous bloom. Keep mums and asters pruned to...

Flower show will make you say 'wow'

If the stem is re-cut, the searing should be repeated.Submerged Method. This method is particularly good for foliage of certain flowers like bergenia, hosta, mahonia and rhododendron. Submerge the foliage in tepid water for about two hours as foliage absorbs water through its surface tissue.Be careful with young foliage as it may become water-logged if left too long. Old foliage and evergreens may be left overnight. Grey leaves should not be submerged or the greyness may be lost.Woody stems. The ends of woody stems such as freesia, fuchsia, peony, phlox and sunflowers should be split and immersed in deep warm water.Wash hands after handling. Some flowers have toxic properties as many chemicals are used in the production of commercially obtained flowers.Now that you know how to condition flowers, all you need to do is enter the flower show.

Holiday shoppers hit Coquitlam Centre, stores despite snow

Christmas. "I came from Mission and it was way worth it," said Dave Robson, who bought his merchandise at the Mr. Big and Tall shop. Jason Van Bergen said Boxing Day was busy at his sporting goods store, Corner Sports in Port Coquitlam, where shoppers arrived, usually with kids in tow, to stock up on hockey and lacrosse equipment, which was marked down dramatically. "People tend to go buy their electronics first," Van Bergen said of Boxing Day, "they come to us for a pair of hockey skates after they get their flat screen TVs," he said, joking, noting that the snow has brought in a lot of customers looking for deals on skis and snowboard equipment, too. Tyler Greaves gets ready to slice up some pork chops at Meat Craft Urban Butchery in Port Moody, where shoppers splurged on specialty meats and sausages as well as the famous turducken, a dish consisting of a deboned chicken stuffed into a deboned duck and further stuffed into a deboned turkey. the holiday season was a busy one for the store that sources its organic and hormone-free meat and chicken from B.C. farms.
