My annuals always look leggy and fried by late August. There’s still a couple of months left of good weather, so what can I do to make them look better?
Tough love! Hack your annuals back right after the 4th of July. I know you’re probably thinking I’m nuts since that’s when annuals are finally settling in and looking their best, but that’s exactly why it’s the perfect time to cut back. They’ll come back bigger and better than ever, showing healthier foliage and stronger bloom, especially in late summer when most plants are exhausted.
