🌿 Winter Tips for a Happy, Healthy Florida Garden 🌿

This “Florida Spring” is the perfect time to refresh, replant, and set your landscape up for a vibrant season. Be mindful of late cold snaps and cover tender plants if needed.

🌱 Plant with Confidence

Spring is ideal for planting. Warmer temperatures help roots establish and encourage strong growth. Try Florida-friendly favorites like Firebush, Coontie, Coreopsis, Muhly Grass, Bottlebrush, Pentas, Hibiscus, and Lantana.

🥬 Spring Veggies Are Thriving

With warmer weather and longer days, Spring is a great season for vegetables. Top options include Tomatoes, Peppers, Cucumbers, Squash, Beans, Eggplant, Basil, Oregano, and Thyme.

💧 Adjust Watering

Warmer spring weather increases water needs. Water early in the morning, aim for deep watering sessions a few times per week, and always check soil moisture before watering.

🍂 Mulch

Refresh mulch (2–3 inches) to protect roots, retain moisture, and reduce weeds—especially important as temperatures rise.

✂️ Tidy Up

Pruning and cleanup are perfect now—remove dead or damaged growth, shape shrubs, and check for pests. Save heavy pruning for after plants are fully established in late Spring.
