Answer to Question 1

Caring for annuals, once planted, is simple and involves supplying regular water,
fertilizing as needed, and controlling insects and diseases. It is necessary to prune or
pinch annuals to shorten the stem and result in a thicker, more attractive plant.



Answer to Question 2

It is important to use mulch on annual beds for several reasons. First, mulch creates the
aesthetics that enhance the annuals planted. It is also a source of organic matter to the
plants, helps to control weeds, conserves moisture, and promotes even ground
temperatures for improved plant growth. Common mulches used in the industry today include hardwood bark, pine bark, cocoa bean hulls, buckwheat hulls, pine needles, wellrotted
sawdust, and leaf mold.
