The summer heat in July can be damaging to some plants, but Mariposa Nursery carries several options that can withstand the intensity of the heat and humidity and the large amounts of rain.
The two annuals that we recommend are pentas and lantana. Lantana is especially well-suited to this time of year because it thrives in high heat and with large amounts of water. It will also add a nice pop of color to your garden. The perennials that we recommend would be blue daze and purslane. Both of these plants thrive in the high temperatures of Florida summers and will help to keep your garden looking bright, lively, and healthy.
Although you can plant palms year round in Florida, the warm, rainy months of summer are the perfect time to plant any palms you had in mind. This allows for enough time for the roots to develop, take hold, and nourish the tree before temperatures begin to drop again in late fall and early winter. Two key components to young palms health are rising soil and air temperatures.
While it may be native to southeast Asia, northern Australia, and other parts of Oceania, crape myrtle is perfect for the warm climate in Florida. This month we are running a special on our seven gallon crape myrtle bushes, which are currently in bloom. These plants bloom from the spring to early fall, so this gorgeous addition to your garden won't be short lived.
Come and visit us to learn more about our summer suggestions!

With the cooler weather approaching comes a new planting season! If this past rainy season has washed away the vibrancy of your mulch, now is the time to thin out your faded mulch and replace it with a 1" layer of new mulch. Also, the Nitrogen Fertilizer Ban has been lifted, so October is a great time to fertilize your garden. Remember to use at least 50 percent slow-release nitrogen fertilizer.
Have you been thinking about starting a vegetable garden? Mid-October is the time! Easy crops include broccoli, carrots, green onions, peppers, and tomatoes. You can also begin replacing your Summer annuals with Fall annuals, such as Sunpatiens, Geraniums, Mums, and Begonias.

If your palm trees were damaged by the cold weather in January, we have the solution!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of Manganese Sulfate - 4 teaspoons of Liquid Copper - 1 gallon of water
Directions:
1) Mix together the Manganese and the Liquid Copper. 2) Add this mixture to the water. 3) Pour mixture to the "heart" (new growth) on top of the palm. 4) Repeat in 30 days. 5) Only apply the mixture at dusk.
We recommend waiting to trim back any damaged plants or trees until Spring (3rd week of March)
After trimming back your plants, we recommend feeding them with Fertrell. Fertrell is an organic fertilizer that is gentle on plants and works great!

![Coreopsis](http://mariposanursery.com/wp-content/plugins/revslider/sr6/assets/assets/dummy.png)
Spring has sprung!
Butterflies and other pollinators are looking for tasty, early spring nectar. Planting flowers like Salvia, Coreopsis, and Milkweed, will help attract those hungry pollinators. Planting these kinds of flowers in groups will attract more pollinators rather than single plants scattered along your landscape.
Avoid using insecticides on these plants. Insecticides have the potential to poison or kill your pollinators.
Other pollinator attracting plants:
-Passion Flower -Pentas - Gaillardia - Walter's Viburnum-
