Plant seeds or set out seedlings of frost sensitive annuals. Because color sells you will find many of these plants in bloom in very small cell packs. It is much more desirable to buy plants that are not yet flowering. Instead focus on good green foliage and sturdy stems. Some frost sensitive annuals to consider are Ageratums, Annual Asters, Caladiums, Calendula, Celosia, Cleome, Coleus, Cornflower, Cosmos, Dusty Miller, Gazania, Geranium, Globe Amaranth, Hollyhocks, Impatiens, Marigolds, Lavatera (MALLOW), Annual Lobelia, Nasturtiums, Flowering Tobacco, Petunias, Pinks (Dianthus), Portulaca, Salvia, Snapdragons, Statice, Sweet alyssum, Wax Begonias and Zinnias.
Make sure rose beds are clean of past years debris which can harbor diseases like Blackspot and Powdery Mildew. If they appear you can control them with fungicide like NEEM OIL 3-IN-1
Allow spring flower bulbs leaves to ripen. Now is the time when next years flowers are forming. Camouflage yellowing foliage with quick growing annuals or perennials.
