Venice lawn care tips on annuals are available in many local libraries and bood stores.  There are so many beautiful flowers to choose from when it comes to annuals, Geraniums, petunias, or lobelia, these common annuals can make any property come alive with color, here are some tips on planting annuals in Venice.  First pick a site that will accommodate your flowers such as full sun, partial shade mostly shade, always read instructions on how to polant before installing your annuals.  After picking site and flowers that will do well there, make sure to do a soil test to check ph.  stabilizing ph will help flowers thrive and last much longer.  I always work soil ammendments into planting area, such as perlite, fertilizer, pine bark, oak leaves to give soil some components to break down, another important component of successful annuals in Venice is proper irrigation, you need to have well drained soil with proper irrigation coverage, after watering check to see how quick the water dissapates into the soil, or if there is quick run off.  A real good way to make big impact is to mix up to three colors and layer your annuals, and plant them against an all green woody ornamental back ground this will make them stand out and pop.  Remember annuals have endless application, theycan be used in window boxes, entrance beds, as cutting for the table, there are some with good fragrance, some from seed, and the ones I like bewst is from your local nursery, for more information on annuals call me at 941-809-8735.  or visit our web site at www.stateoftheartlandscaping.com
