Plants\u00a0become recharged by frequent irrigation and adequate feeding. In certain situations you may need to monitor and treat a disease and insect problem.<\/p>\n<p>As plants finish blooming in their prime season, remove all\u00a0spent flower heads to\u00a0avoid seed formation. For iris prune off old flowers in late May, for daylilies in late June or early July. Encore azaleas bloom in mid-April thru early May and require no deadheading. Timing may vary according to where you garden in the Southern Appalachian region (USDA zones 6 and 7).<\/p>\n<p>In addition, many perennials re-bloom a second and third time\u00a0after spent flowers are removed and plants are re-nourished. Some easy to grow\u00a0re-bloomers include: blanket flowers (<em>Gaillardia x grandiflora<\/em>), perennial salvia (<em>Salvia x nemorosa<\/em>), tickseed (<em>Coreopsis verticillata<\/em>), summer phlox (<em>Phlox paniculata<\/em>), Shasta daisy (<em>Leucanthemum x superbum<\/em>) and veronica (<em>Veronica spp<\/em>.).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Re-blooming\u00a0is an unusual plant trait.
