Extended Winter Weather Keeps Blooms Delayed | Raleigh Lawn Care & Raleigh Landscaping Services

Extended winter weather keeps blooms delayed. For plants and grass, soil temperature is the deciding factor when they pop out of dormancy. Although this winter seems colder than the past several years, this winter is actually a very normal pattern for North Carolina. With deep freezes and lingering soil temperatures in the 40’s, plants and turf will stay relatively inactive for the next few weeks. Once green-up arrives, the pollen will follow within 2-4 weeks after.

Now is the time to trim back those Crepe Myrtles and mow down the Liriope. Proper maintenance is key to having a healthy landscape that functions well and keeps your property looking its best. Secondly, now is a critical time to apply pre-emergent fertilizers in order to prevent crabgrass and weeds from germinating once soil temperatures do climb into the 50’s.
