- Prune Camellias after blooming is complete, then feed them with Nursery and Landscape Fertilizer or Azalea Camellia Food.
- Plant strawberries and enjoy all spring!
- Thin and transplant fall-sown annuals and biennials such as larkspur, poppies, and Lunaria. Feed with a light application of balanced fertilizer.
- Divide perennials as needed before new growth advances too much.
