Impatiens
July is the time that many exhausted annuals, such as dusty miller, impatiens, and petunias, respond well to being cut back, fed, and watered this month.
A good rule of thumb is to cut plants back by half, or locate little bulges, called secondary buds, low on plant stems and prune 1/2 inch above them. They will produce new stems.
Apply an organic or controlled-release fertilizer, allowing plants to recover over several weeks.
