Water new plantings

Until roots take hold.

3 min read

Native plants are drought-tolerant once established, but new seedlings and plugs need help.

How

  • Keep seeded areas lightly moist until seedlings are a few inches tall
  • Water plugs deeply once or twice a week in the first season
  • Water in the morning
  • Reduce watering in year two as roots grow deep
