Tips to Help You Love Your Landscape! | U.S. Lawns - Franklin

February is here. This month marks the season of love as well as the midpoint of winter, and it’s an opportune time to give your lawn and garden a little TLC as we all wait for spring. U.S. Lawns - Franklin has got some helpful tips to keep your landscape looking fresh and well cared for. Read on to learn more.

Shrubs, Trees, and Roses
Since we’re about halfway through winter, it’s important to continue to protect any of your tender trees and shrubs before a freeze. You can learn more about protecting your plants in the winter here. If you’ve got roses on your property, be sure to prune them as soon as the buds start to swell. For winterized roses, keep them covered past any danger of hard frost. Winter storms can be a mess, so always promptly prune any trees or shrubs that have sustained storm damage. Zones 6 and 7 can begin planting bare-root trees and shrubs in February as well.

Bulbs and Perennial Plants
Are you storing any tender plant bulbs? You’ll need to inspect them every two weeks, and throw out any that have gone bad. Withered bulbs can be rehydrated by lightly misting their packing with water. Not sure if your bulbs are still good? Learn more about bulb shelf life here. You can also begin pruning or mowing your ornamental grasses at this time. If you have clematis on your property, you should prune group B and C vines, but hold off on pruning group A to protect the early buds.
