Pot with Drainage
Make sure you have a pot with proper drainage. Adequate drainageHanging Baskets is crucial to the life of your container. If there are no holes in your pot your plants will stay to wet.

Good Soil
A good mixed soil that is balanced with peat moss and other organic materials is essential for proper root growth. Too heavy a soil leads to root rot, or when left to dry out a solid, compact soil that kills the plant.

Fertilizer
Using Osmocote, a time released fertilizer that is mixed in with the soil, as well as a water soluble fertilizer that is high in phosphorous, will encourage all season blooms.

High Quality, Healthy Plant Material
Edgewater’s main focus is on high quality plant material that will make your gardening experience a successful one. We only carry the very best varieties, and constantly look to improve ourselves.
