Ohio’s Garden Center Experts’ Answers to Gardening FAQs

What Plants Bloom All Summer?

If you want your garden peppered with color all summer, opt for annuals. They will stay in bloom the entire season. A few flowers that can withstand the sun’s rays include marigolds, petunias, and wax begonias. Marigold also doubles as a wonderful pest repellent, helping to keep away pests that may damage our other plants.

What Works Best In Shade?

If houses or trees block your garden from the sun, you can find plenty of posies that thrive in the shade. Perennials like hosta and astilbe will bloom in dark places, while foxglove and columbine are best for areas that receive a bit of sunlight.

What Soil Should I Get?

The type of soil you should get depends on what you want to plant. Whatever you choose, just make sure the fertilizer is appropriate for what you’re planting. This way, plants get the nutrients they need to flourish. You can place mulch over the soil to aid in retaining moisture.

Whether you’re a novice gardener or have a green thumb, the professionals at Sunnyside Greenhouse are always willing to answer your questions. Beyond their extensive plant selection, they also offer bulk garden seeds, vegetables, and tips on what to place in hanging baskets and patio pots.
