» Feature Writer Angela England - How often to water flowers?

In response to How often to water flowers? posted by Cottage_Garden:


I think too, the one thing about watering that I didn't take into account as a new gardener was that different plants had different requirements!

Now I will hand water my tomatoes almost every day in our scorching Oklahoma summers, but more drought tolerant plants like succulents, Echinacea, and coreopsis wouldn't need to be watered more than an inch every week or so.

And well established shrubs take less water as well so our crapemyrtle and lilac only got watered in the case of the extreme drought we had last year where we had a full month with no rain whatsoever. I only watered them once or twice the entire month just to help them survive through the drought season!

These are all great tips Barb! Thanks for sharing.
