Ca Catadiums Add Color to Shady Outdoor Corners
Ca tadiums brighten patios with windproof shaded corners. They can be grown in redo clay pots, flat planters, or larger redwood tardimeres after daytime temps exceed TO degrees. Porous pots provide oxygen, extending year round beauty and preventing overwatering. Professionally grown ca laciums are available nationwide by late March.

As sun returns, move shade-loving plants such as ferns and African violets to windows with indirect light or partial mid day shade. Check each plant’s reporting needs and relocate to porous clay pots with adequate drainage for better spring and summer health.
Late frosts and sowing advice for annuals in home gardens
Home gardeners should delay sowing quick growing annuals like marigolds zinnias and tomatoes for 10 to 14 days to avoid frost damage and crowded indoor growth. Late frosts may affect plants set out early, and space limited gardens should transplant carnations pinks shasta daisies blue salvia and snapdragons to gain room. Pressed peat pots are recommended as a potential space saver this season.
