Watering Annuals
Annuals are shallow rooted so don't allow the soil to
dry out too deeply. Begin watering in the morning and
water through the heat of the day. Stop in mid-afternoon
to allow the plants to dry off before nightfall. Night
waterings can create ideal conditions for disease
development. During periods of very hot weather, water
earlier in the morning.
