Plant Coneflowers!

Not only are they beautiful and but coneflowers act as natural plant supports for your other plants. 

Russian Sage and Coneflowers are great pairs.  In late summer Russian Sage tends to get floppy, so plant a coneflower on both sides and help it stay upright. 

Coneflowers also come in a wide range of colors and names now.  Come in and see Pink Poodle, Tomato Soup, Macaroni and Cheese, Milkshake and more!

Keep an eye out

for scale!

Heinz Brothers has seen this bug on Maples, Plums, Magnolias and more.  If you plants are not looking as healthy as have been, snip off a piece and bring it in to the Heinz Brothers Garden Pharmacy for your plants prescription.

Keep your plants happy during the summer heat!

Remember to slowly soak your newly planted trees and shrub.  Try soaker hoses and a timer or a Tree Gator for efficient watering.
