aryllis or Magic Lily in August as soon as received at a depth of 5 inches. They will produce foliage in the spring which dies down in the late summer. The lily-like, pink flowers borne on three-foot stalks in clusters of six to nine will appear in August. The bulbs will live almost indefinitely and prefer not to be disturbed.
Woody Ornamentals:
• Inspect trunks and branches of dogwood for injured bark or fine dust being pushed from burrows in trunk by borers.
• If the leaves of euonymus turn yellow and drop, check the stems and underside of the leaves for tiny, needle-like white insects with a scattering of small, brown, shell-like shapes. This is euonymous scale (males are white; females brown). Climbing euonymous is more susceptible than most upright forms. Contact your local Extension office for approved control methods.
• When it is necessary to transplant woody plants in hot weather, cover them with a sheet after they are planted. Dampen the sheet two or three times a day with the hose, and transplants should suffer less setback from transpiration losses.
• If azaleas look chlorotic (pale green to yellow) check pH. They need acid soil as alkalinity locks up soil iron needed for green color. Use agricultural sulfur to reduce pH.
• Water shrubs deeply once a week during August. Many plants (camellias, rhododendrons) are developing next season’s flower buds at this time. Immature berries of hollies and pyracantha may be lost if too dry. Lawns:
• August and September is the time to rejuvenate or plant home lawns.
